(09 Aug 2015, 6:21 pm)Malarkey Because WWE decided to do "Supershows" with all Superstars appearing on both Raw & Smackdown, with the same Matches over and over again which to be fair has gotten quite tiring to watch, how many times have we seen Rusev vs Jack Swagger in the last year, must be in double figures, feuds such as Sheamus vs Randy Orton and Dolph Ziggler vs Sheamus over the years, clearly WWE is lacking creativity, compelling story lines and great feuds/matches, well with the exception of Kevin Owens vs John Cena, Divas Revolution, any match featuring Cesaro in the last few months and Paul Heyman Promos, as that has been good to watch, the rest is utter shite in my opinion.Would you not get the same tiresome matches if the brand, it just means you see the same old match once a week rather than twice, you may still get Rusev v Swagger a lot, just it would be limited to, say, Smackdown and Smackdown only...

(09 Aug 2015, 6:56 pm)MurdnunoC To elaborate, RAW was considered the flagship brand the last time around. Certain wrestlers twisted on when they were drafted to Smackdown (or ECW) because it was viewed as 'second-tier' (or third-tier). Shortly before his little episode, Benoit was drafted to ECW. Reportedly, this caused him to grow even more despondent as he felt he'd been demoted despite being booked to win the ECW title from CM Punk (which, for obvious reasons, didn't happen).Am I right in saying that despite being the 'Flagship' Show, a Paul Heyman led Smackdown Show actually outdid Raw at some point???
Some wrestlers have fragile egos. However it is presented, one brand is going to favoured over the other. Being on the 'lesser brand' causes problems.

NXT's success is another reason why the reintroduction of a brand-split would be a bad idea. If you've got an upper tier (for top wrestlers) and lower tier (for up-and-coming wrestlers), what's the point in introducing a middle-tier? Who's that for? The Mediocre?Quick Question, not quite sure how to word it...Here goes

Could NXT, despite WWE being it's parent company, stand alone from Raw and Smackdown and could it perform will if it had a degree of automony from WWE HQ
