With rosters being as loaded and bigger than ever.....

What better way to solve the problem of 7 hour WrestleMania fatigue than to build up the audience's tolerance with 5 and 6 hour monthly PPVs!

I believe they are moving to 4 hour format. 

I liked the old format too, but again if you know you have a PPV coming up, keep the talent thats feuding away from each other till the PPV. Have them in backstage skits, promos, brawls. It really isn't hard to do. Say if Styles cuts a promo on Nakamura, and Shinsuke goes out and smashes a jobber to send a message to AJ, boom you advance the story without it getting stale, instead of tag matches and sneak attacks. Plus they can give more time to someone who isn't really getting utilized like a Tye Dillinger or a Becky Lynch.

Guys are definitely going to get left off of shows, but that may not necessarily be a terrible thing. Even with the split rosters, a lot of talent was becoming overexposed.

It's a happy coincidence for them, given what's going on with Reigns. They can now line up a bunch of heels people don't care about to get fed to Roman without worrying about mega anti-Reigns reactions or the matches not being suitable main events. Ronda Rousey is the #1 act on Raw, and Smackdown will have a big title match for every show. Reigns can plow through the likes of Mahal, McIntyre, a heel Bobby Roode, heel Lashley, Ziggler, Corbin, etc. - all guys who aren't over enough to be cheered heavily against Roman.

I'm not, but they likely are.

I don't think the aforementioned method is going to work, I just think it's probably what they're planning. In principle, I agree with the idea that those opponents are likely to induce less of a strong negative reaction to Reigns, but I think it's going to have an unintended effect - more apathy toward him in general. I don't think they'll get behind Reigns because his opponent isn't all that over. I think they'll just tune out of the feud entirely.

It's already started happening over the last two weeks. The vitriolic, guttural hatred toward Roman is fading. It's not being replaced with cheers, though, just silent murmur. They've pretty much hit worst-case-scenario with him.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. WWE pay per views and NXT TakeOvers should only have Championship Title matches. That would be 9 matches on WWE pay per views and 5 matches on NXT TakeOvers. If you’re not a Champion or a Championship Title contender, then you shouldn’t be on the big shows. Non-Title feuds should only take place on Raw, Smackdown, and NXT. The only exception to this rule that I would implement is the Royal Rumble match and the traditional Survivor Series Tag Team Elimination match.

Let’s take WrestleMania 34 for example. We had a total of 14 matches, which includes 3 pre-show matches. There were 9 Championship Title matches, 1 of which was on the pre-show. Here’s how I would have change things around.

I would keep the WrestleMania Battle Royals on the kickoff show, but move the Cruiserweight Championship match to the main card. This would keep the SuperStars not defending / challenging for a Championship on the card, but also gives more importance to the Cruiserweight Championship and the division as a whole, taking its rightful place on the main card. Not everyone will notice it, but there is a big difference between being on TV at 6:45 PM and being on TV at 7:15 PM during WrestleMania Sunday. Just ask the Usos about that.

I completely understand why the 3 non-Title matches on the main card took place on the “Grandest Stage Of Them All”, but the tag team matches involving the McMahon Commissioners should have just main evented the go-home episodes of Raw and Smackdown respectively. I’m sure those in attendance at the Raw go-home show would have enjoyed a 20 minute mix tag team match between WWE COO Triple H and Raw Commissioner, Stephanie McMahon vs. Raw General Manager, Kurt Angle and “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey. I’m sure those in attendance at the Smackdown go-home show would have enjoyed a 15 minute tag team match between Smackdown Commissioner, Shane McMahon and Smackdown General Manager, Daniel Bryan vs. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.

Undertaker should have just brawled with John Cena at the Showcase Of The Immortals, culminating in a Casket match on the post-WrestleMania Raw or on the post-WrestleMania Smackdown, after the Greatest Spectacle in Sports Entertainment. There was no need for a 3 minute squash match at all. Imagine if they announced this match taking place on Monday or Tuesday during WrestleMania.

Now let’s look at the Greatest Royal Rumble. Triple H vs. John Cena and Undertaker vs. Rusev in a Casket Match?? Make these matches main events on Raw and Smackdown and watch the ratings pop that week. I’d also replace these with Women’s Championship Title matches, but I understand why they won’t.

My point is, the WWE should make the pay per views all about the Championship Title Belts. All of the non-Title feuds should be used on the weekly episodic television shows, which could also help in the ratings anyway.

I have always hated dual branded PPVs every month. They have enough talent to fill the shows. It’s the terrible booking that made a lot of them lackluster. SDL is stacked now, but with dual branded shows every month I can see a lot of guys getting lost in the shuffle.

Good point. I think they could have had found a happy medium. The big 4 dual branded as well as Money in the Bank and Clash of Champions. Then rotate the others every year by brand.

I see why they changed it, some of the matches particularly on SDL PPV's were barely TV worthy, but these stacked rosters could definitely embrace big events to themselves.

They’ll just keep making new brands with 6 different championship titles on each until they have a 3 hour live show every day of the week. 

No, it's a terrible idea. With the sheer size of today's roster, there are so many talented stars that aren't going to be given the exposure that they've worked for, on a consistent basis. At this point, WWE should either go back to brand exclusive PPVs, or reduce the size of their roster. This a problem that WWE should be working to prevent, rather than cause.
