The status of WWE’s brand split has fluctuated ever since it was first reintroduced back in 2016, and based on the latest report from @WrestleVotes it could be in jeopardy once again. After promoting a WWE Championship match and a Money in the Bank cash-in ahead of last week’s Raw failed to keep the Red Brand’s viewership from falling against the first week of Monday Night Football, WWE announced a major six-man tag match pitting The New Day against SmackDown’s The Bloodline. The show took things one step further by having Roman Reigns beat Big E and Bobby Lashley in a triple threat in the show’s main event. According to @WrestleVotes, the episode could be a sign that big Superstars will be allowed to freely jump from one show or the other depending on how Raw did.
Some chatter I heard over the weekend included how important tonight’s RAW number is. Draft plans aside, w/ their biggest full time star in Roman Reigns being advertised to work tonight’s RAW, a bigger # than normal would open the box to showcasing main superstars on both brands.
