One brand. Two world titles, One midcard title, one Tag title, One Divas title. Five titles on a three hour show would be manageable.
Split brand or together?

If you have one brand, you have to have one world title. If you are rolling with five then you do a WWE Heavyweight belt, an Intercontinental, a European, a Tag, and a Divas. Or TV title or some other midcard belt. You make the Intercontinental worth a damn and have it be coveted, then everything makes sense.
I'd replace the European championship for the Light Heavyweight championship or the Television championship. Five championships are enough in my opinion. I think the less titles the more prestige being called a "champion" is.
That's my main wanting of one brand, because it makes the champion look like the true top of the company if they are 1/1 world champions, not 1/2. If there was a good way of doing it with one heavyweight belt and two shows, I'm all for it...but I don't see that working well, and the champion would just mainly show up on RAW anyway since it's live, the flagship, and the only one WWE cares about.
I really miss the days when wrestlers were exclusive to their own brand. Sadly since WWE’s is now focusing on main eventers rather than putting effort into their mid card it’s only obvious that they would throw their top smackdown stars onto raw as it raw brings in more viewers than smackdown. One thing I will really miss about wrestlers being on both shows is the wwe draft. I loved waiting to see who would get drafted to the other show and the look on their face when they got chosen but didn’t want to switch. I wonder what impact it would have on viewing figures and tv rating if they we’re all unique to their own brand? Would it help or hinder smackdown? I can remember thinking how cool it was that once per month raw and smackdown wrestlers would meet up as if theyre both some kind of mortal enemies :haha:
