Is the brand split unofficially over?

Tonight felt like they weren't even trying to hide it like previous weeks. Wild card rule was out of control.

considering last week there were about 15 "wild cards" on each show, yes

Ratings are down & they are in full blown desperation mode, so yes

New day is one act, Bryan/Rowan is one act, Owens is one act, was there even a 4th?

Roman, R-Truth, Cringemella

when will they realize that this wild card thing is accelerating the death of smack

They don't care because they're banking on getting an artificial bump in viewers when they move to Fox this fall.

Seems like it which is odd cause FOX was in support of the brand split. They didn't want to promote RAW on their network which will happen if they don't have split rosters.

Yes. It's obvious the networks all but demanded the Wild Card Rule, which effectively kills the brand split.

Remember that the brand split was unofficially over years and years before they unified the WHC and WWE title with Orton and Cena. It'll probably go on like this for a few more years.

> what if we feature the same shit on each show back to back
The state of Vincetty

List of "panic" moves in the last few weeks;
>wildcard rule
>24/7 championship
>"edgier" third hour of RAW (already dropped)
>pairing up Seth & Becky on-screen
>return of the Undertaker

Anything else?

>return of the Undertaker
TWICE

>Brock Lesnar cashing in later tonight
>"n-no more wrestling during commercials, promise!"

>Return of Goldberg
>mentioned AEW

The brand split should stay. In fact it should be enforced at a much deeper level, everyone from the wrestlers and on-screen talent to the writers/agents/bookers and backstage crew niggers should be tied to one of the two shows. They should be forced to compete like they are rival shows and judged by management based on results. The only people allowed to appear on both shows should be Vince and champions with no equivalent belt on the other show (Women's tag champs, WWE champ once the Universal belt fucks outta here).

NOOOOOOOO. I would've watched if it stayed edgy but now I have no reason to

This is a great idea but they'd never do that
fans would be too confused and think the brands actually separated into their own entities

Missed a few.

Just remembered the changes they made to their Youtube page.
