Never mind Becky Kalisto should be on Raw instead of Sin Cara due to Raws Cruiserweight division Kalisto must be looking at that Raw roster thinking to himself ah ****. Also Owens and Zayn on the same brand might be an indication that WWE are looking to prolong that feud after Battleground.
Complete back of a fag packet stuff there to have Kalisto away from the crusierweight division, and to have it on Raw imo. It seems perfectly made for Smackdown, assuming things kinda end up like they did after the original brand split.

Like I said earlier and I know Raws a 3 hour show but it's gonna be packed with a Cruiserweight division plus having the tag team champions and the Women's champion all on a show that normally starts with a 20 minute promo. I so hope this brand split works but the cynic within me just has some doubts about it.

I really hope from next week everything turns better for the good. Like others, I also hope we get new set designs, music, ropes ect. It has to feel different as well as actually be different.

As for the draft, seems a bit odd on paper. Cruiserweight on Raw, when surely SD would be better? Raw certainly looks loads more packed in terms of talent which could be a disadvantage to some guys.

I personally feel within 12 months it will be like how SD and Raw were like pre draft and not much would have changed. Creative won't all of sudden turn in to a team of world class writers and give us two great shows to watch.

Given the mess that WWE is creatively, I don't think it's a massive stretch to think WWE were changing their minds on what talent was drafted from developmental.
Exactly, He could have said it about anyone and people would believe him. It's not a 'scoop' it's just a random guess that no one will ever dispute because there is no point

Yeah Raws gonna be packed I know it's 3 hours but they have the Tag Team champions, Womens champion, and the Cruiserweight division all on the same show good luck trying to fit that all in along with a 20 minute promo. Must suck to be Becky Lynch at the moment stuck on Smackdown with no Womens title to chase and having to work with the likes of Naomi and Eva Marie.
Unless the Womens Champion can defend on both shows. I still dont get why Raw chose Sami Zayn & Cesaro because those two would be better suited for Smackdown.

Splitting the women and tag divisions made no sense whatsoever. WWE already treats titles pretty poorly so splitting all those divisions and half and having shittier versions of each one weakens that further, especially considering that they've just rebranded the women's title.

They have have have to have the champs defend on both shows.

Well the draft did one thing and made Smackdown pretty much tie Raw's viewership this week with 3.17m. Obviously a big drop incoming

I wonder if they will move the Announce Table back to the Entrance like they did before

I think he's getting earmarked for pre show network programmes.

Im expecting a screwy finish on the PPV. The fact Rollins & Roman are on Raw will probably lead to some kind of swerve in the title match so they can have one of them the uncrowned champion so the World title can come back.

I dont think Ambrose will lose given hes the good guy and has the belt. They normally give titles on the fly to heels as its a heelish thing aka HHH in 2002. I really hope they dont repeat the Breakdown 1998 spot but it wouldnt suprise me given they did a false finish on Raw. Maybe the ref will count 3 on Ambrose pinning Rollins but another camera angle will show the shoulder being up the night after the PPV.

Since when has that prevented WWE from putting someone on TV?

Paul Heyman is being reported as being no longer under contract with the WWE.

Surely Vince is not stupid enough to let Heyman leave?

Vince would have to be on some strong stuff if he ever considers letting Heyman go.

Why go to all of the fuss of having a draft, and saying who is on which brand of show, if the champions can just be on both shows??

No, there should be belts for each show, that way you can really have a proper show on each, rather than having them mix with people from the "other" show.

The only time that Smackdown and Raw talent should mix, is at the four big ppv's.

Not looking good regarding Heyman seems Vince has no idea in what he may lose.

Because having ten million belts is shit, especially with rosters that are so thin.

Im kinda glad he has left I getting increasingly bored of his promos spewing the same lines about his Client again and again.

If anything they should keep him off TV and just sign him to a creative role because they need someone good at writing.

We dont know this. Raw and SD should have 1 world title, a singles title and a tag team title.
