WWE is looking at ideas to eliminate their house shows being branded "Raw" and "Smackdown" tours and giving the tours official names.

The company is currently taking feedback from fans on their mailing list on the idea as well as potential titles for future house show events.

Moving away from branded tours would allow the company more freedom to split the house show lineups between the Raw and Smackdown rosters, as opposed to having everyone from one TV show on one specific loop.
The idea follows the TV product of the last year, which has quietly reverted back to major stars from each roster appearing on most of, if not all, the major TV shows produced by the company. It would also allow for major names to be spread over house shows taking place at the same time.

I think something similar has already been posted, but still. Won't really affect much, unless it ends up on title unification.

I'm curious to see how far they'll go with this unification. I note that Smackdown has gotten better, now this. Their ricket sales are bound to increase now because no one wants to go see a smackdown live tour.

I had no idea they still called it the Raw and Smackdown house shows. The rosters have been combined on TV and PPV, so I figured the only thing that separated the two on the house show circuit was one was headlined by the WWE Champion, the other headlined by the World Heavyweight Champion, with most or a lot of the undercard bouncing back and forth between them. No important news for me.

So with the rock winning the belt, will he be going to house shows?
