With Roadblock being the last PPV of the year and both RAW and SmackDown Live having 3 PPVs each since the brand split in August, which brand do you think had the better PPVs? I'll add the PPVs below in case any of you forgot.
RAW
Clash Of Champions
Hell In A Cell
Roadblock: End Of The Line
SmackDown Live
Backlash
No Mercy
TLC
IMO I've honestly enjoyed the SmackDown PPVs a whole lot more and I've preferred everything the brand has done overall compared to RAW since the draft itself.

I've enjoyed the Smackdown branded shows a little more than RAWs. Smackdown shows also had its flaws. Example ending the show with Wyatt vs Orton insteas of Ziggler vs Miz if they seriously had to have the World Title match open.

SD. It's not even in the same ballpark.
RAW is a dumpster fire right now.

Neither brand has had great Pay-Per-Views. Most have been decent to good, though Roadblock barely qualifies in that regard.
I'd give Smackdown the edge, but only slightly. None of the shows have been standouts. They've all been 1-2, maybe 3 match shows tops with lots of filler.

Smackdown and it's not even close.
But I still think 2 ppv's a month is still wayyyyy too much. I've said this before, they need to copy the model they had back from 2003-2007. Have a brand exclusive ppv once a month, alternating between brands. Then only unite for the big 4 ppv's, maybe throw in MITB if you want. But I think everything would feel a lot more special and important if they went with that model.
Not 100% sure, but I thought I read somewhere that they were planning to cut back on ppv's next year.

Both brands PPVs have been pretty great, especially compared to PPVs (and shows) of the past 5 or so years. Smackdown's are somewhat better, but I think that's because the writing on Smackdown itself is more intelligent and cohesive than Raw.
Also, I think the weekly shows are at their best when both of them DO have a PPV in the same month because they have less time to screw around and are more focused on promoting their upcoming PPVs as well as planting the seeds for future PPVs that may not have "enough" time to build normally. I hope they don't cut back on PPVs next year.

SmackDown easily. Everything is written fresh, it's a whole new feel. While RAW is still the exact same as it was before the split. Plus ending the PPV, the main title match, which included one champion not defending his title on a  ing DQ? SHAME! |

In all honesty neither. The PPV's just felt like extended Raw and Smackdowns but if I had to choose the Smackdown ones were more enjoyable.

For the most part, I think both have been delivering good PPVs since the split. Every show has pros & cons IMO.
Sure Roadblock had a weak finish, but to be fair, least they didn't have the outcome determined by James Ellsworth.

Smackdown has been far ahead of RAW in every way. The only problem SD has rhymes with Hellsworth.

Up until Road Block I wouldnt have been able to vote, but Road Block was so piss poor it goes to smackdown.
I'm not sure if each show has been equally weak, or, just as good as eachother, I guess it depends on your mindset at the time, but I think both shows have been neck and neck. Until Road Block.

I think Smackdown, but I also think we are at a stage where on Smackdown they could have a turd on a pole match and people would say that it is the greatest thing ever.

Smackdown, hands down!
Everything about Smackdown seems fresh and new. AJ Styles being the WWE Champion, Slater/Rhyno and now The Wyatt Family being Tag Champions, the Miz vs. Ziggler feud has been so fantastic for the mid-card title feud. Plus I feel their tag teams are much better than the Raw tag teams.
