The roster is too large to not have a brand split. I know they’re being a little loose with it but imagine how much TV time certain guys would lose if The Bloodline, Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Karrion Kross, Cody Rhodes, etc were on both shows every week

The thing is right now they don't have a proper roster split, with the way it has been going lately, they should just end the brand extension. Both world titles and tag titles are unified, people from Smackdown appearing on RAW, so the roster is suffering almost as much as it would be if they didn't have a brand split. I'm all for a brand split but it should be done correctly.

I think this part of my thinking right now. How much of a brand split is really happening right now? Only thing that feels like it's not on both shows is the IC title stuff and to me that's some of the better stuff going on.

I have always been pro bland split for the sake of some of the lower card guys on the roster. Some aren't even getting TV time now really and ending the brand split would add more wrestlers to that list.

Plus I wouldn't rule out them wanting to do something like having rematches on RAW from what happened on Smackdown. For example, if Zayn vs. McIntyre happened on Smackdown and then again on RAW 3 days later...and then they are on the next Smackdown confronting each other. WWE loves their rematches.

I don’t care if it’s kind of a half split. I’m fine with wrestlers being mainly exclusive to one brand but occasionally they appear on the other brand. It allows for more diversity
