Bayley's gimmick will bomb in 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.

People said the same about Emma and look what happened to her.

If they knew as far back as Extreme Rules I dont know why they didnt just do a double pin in the Main Event.

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.

Emma never had the same upside and potential as Bayley does.

if shane had control in REAL life of one of the brands it would be interesting

BABYMETAL for the NXT special next month

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.

Not going to happen.

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?

There's not that many women on the main roster to split between both shows and to have 2 titles.

There aren't enough good women to actually make two divisions.

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??

I don't really think any of the 'names' mean that much any more. Besides, WWE was heading for a fall at that point anyway.


Which a) is exactly what everyone is saying and b) doesn't actually follow given the explain actions people have given.

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.

Like FMKK said, a lot of people seem to be against the idea of two World champions as it is. If it's debatable in regards to that then it's verging on a no brainer when it comes to having two women's titles. They don't need to water the women's division down by introducing a needless second title. Instead they need to focus their attention on building the division up and building legitimate female stars with stories and direction.

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****.

Smackdown on sky tonight at 10pm woooo!

Yesterday, WWE and Sky Sports have announced we will be showing its weekly event, Smackdown, live for the very first time. It now means wrestling fans can enjoy five hours of live WWE every week, including its flagship show, Raw.

As part of our Summer of Sport, from Tuesday 19 July viewers can see the action live every week, adding even more value and breadth to our sports package..

WWE has been a mainstay on Sky since 1989 and we now show more than 20 hours of action each week, including WWE Experience and WWE Main Event. We also broadcast every pay-per-view event live including WrestleMania and SummerSlam.

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.

Then they will want to do a long build to Cena vs Reigns I can see that been a WM Match.

That works well for me. But it would be better with one world title so they could keep them apart until a Mania showdown for the belt next year.
