So excited for this!
Hope they make the right decision and make the WWE what it used to be...
Cool AP but why did you start a new thread? lol jw Anyways I'm working on a video for the new announcements.
Lol because the Pro Wrestling thread was dead, is 5 years old and wasn't updated regularly. Decided to do this in the Celebrity section for more eyes, fresh content and all encompassing of the WWE Cinematic universe.
I don't know about the brand split. I like the idea, but I'm mixed feelings about it. It will be a fresh thing in which they very much need but is it the right thing? This could either be a good thing or a bad thing. I'm excited that there is prospect of bringing more NXT stars to the main even roster.
My predictions is US title will be on Smackdown, IC title on RAW, Tag Teams between the two shows (even though I think they should have two due the amount of tag team titles there are at the moment), Women's title between both shows.
I think they should bring back the Cruiserweight Championship.
More details should be coming out soon re: the upcoming split.
I'm interested in who'll be running what creatively. The writing teams need a shake up, and id like to see Triple H's people have more of a creative presence on the main shows.
John Cena is expected to be the face of Smackdown and Roman Reigns the face of RAW. When Brock Lesnar returns he is expected to return on RAW and start his hype going in to SummerSlam.
I'm so excited for this... even though I'm also slightly scared with what they'll do with the Women's Divison.
They need to split the Women up. If they try to keep them all on one show, we will never see half of them.
Also, I would do this:
RAW -
WWE Championship
Tag Team Championship
US Championship
Women's Championship
Smackdown -
World Championship
Intercontinental Championship
Women's Tag Team Championship (allows Divison to be important & gives SD reasons for Tag Team matches/rivalries)
Cruiserweight/European Championship (something NEW here, idk what)
But in my opinion, that's the only way to balance it out.
