They love to play games with the smarks, so it could just refer to the end of the months long Balor/Joe feud.
Concurrently, the likes of Joe, Balor, Alpha, Aries, Bayley, Asuka, Nakamura are more than ready for the main roster. |

Bayley's gimmick and character has more potential upside on the main roster than any single female the company has seen for a long time.

AJ hits the forearm/Roman Spear thing but when they land AJ's body is over Romans but both men shoulders are down so AJ thinks hes won the World Title but they play Roman's music and announce him as the winner. So then on Raw AJ has a legimate reason he beat the World champion which could then kick off him as the uncrowned Champion leading into Smackdown. You wouldnt need to do a third AJ/Roman match just have Styles on Smackdown as the leader of that roster. Mind you it might be difficult to stall it to July, had the draft been next couple of weeks it would work. |

Really don't like the idea of having two world champions again. I'd much rather have a single champ defending over two shows. Makes the championship and the champion feel more special that way.

All this talk of having two male world titles, surely if that is the case, then there should be two female world titles?
After all they are or were pushing that the divas era is Iver, and that the females or women were in a par with their male counterparts. |

There's not that many women on the main roster to split between both shows and to have 2 titles. Quote:
Wrestling Observer Newsletter
When it comes to booking, nothing is confirmed as far as the obvious questions. WWE has officially said that all the obvious questions will be answered over the next few weeks. The only news is that as of right now, the plan is to create two world championships, one for each brand, and that the IC and U.S. belts will be obviously split up between the brands. But even the one vs. two world titles, while being leaned toward right now, is not a lock. The tentative plan is for the women’s champion, Charlotte, to appear on both brands as champion and she would be the only person, with the exception of Roman Reigns or whoever the singles champion is. The word is that Vince McMahon is really pumped about the new possibilities. Of course, Vince’s nature is to get pumped up by new challenges and usually about a month in, if they don’t click immediately, he loses interest and things end up reverting back to how they were. The key is balancing the talent, but having the McMahon stamp on both shows. On the flip side, while there is talk of Smackdown being more wrestling oriented (and no matter what you hear, nothing is definite on anything), it would likely mean with the live show that Vince McMahon would take a greater interest in the show. The key negative is that could lead to the overproducing of the announcers, which is really the standout thing on that show. |

Should do, if they were at all serious about what they were saying at the time, but sadly when do they ever keep their word?

It's not that there aren't enough good women to make two divisions, it's that they don't need two women's titles. One is the sensible option with the champion moving between both shows.

It will be interesting to see what the ratings will be like by the end of the year once Raw doesn't feature all the 'names'. Six months into the original brand extension they dropped from like a 4.5 average at the beginning to something like 3.5 by the fall.

If they don't need two women's Champions, then surely it follows that they don't need two male Champions??

Could we have the women restricted to one show, and have cruiserweights on the other? Could have the winner of the tournament be the new champion.

I think a brand split could work well when it comes to the women. Have separate stories and stars on each show and hopefully it'll give some of them more air time and a chance to get themselves over well on screen. The last thing they need to do is introduce another women's title to send the division back to being an absolute cluster****. |

Reports that Raw will tour Friday-Sunday and Smackdown Saturday-Monday which will give talent (well those who regularly work both tapings anyway) an extra day off a week which I'm sure will be happily received.

Meltzer also says Reigns is the main Raw guy and Cena is the main Smackdown guy.
