I was planning to watch it all live last night as Vince was coming back and announcing the COO's.
But from what I can see it was the last segment and there was a lot of average filler in there as usual.
As expected the McKids are in charge, and I am glad Stephanie is running Raw whilst Shane has Smackdown. To me that's the better dynamic to go with as Stephanie will be running the perceived "A-show" whilst Shane is tasked with revamping the forgotten show.
I do plan to watch Raw and Smackdown live next week (Draft can't be missed) and then the following shows live too to see how WWE is doing with the Brand Split.
If they actually manage to put some effort in and improve the show creatively then great, but with WWE there's always the possibility of stagnation.
The Brand Split must surely improve the product. It can't go much further down than it already is.
