I would be in favor of a brand split once the likes of Orton,Rollins,Cesaro..ect return.The WWE has more then enough talent on the main roster and in NXT to make it work.Also they could and should look to bring in more guys from ROH,NJPW,TNA...ect and rumors have them looking at everyone from Taven,Bennett,Lethal,Fish,O'Riley,Okada,Nakamura...ect so you sign a few of those guys to fill out the roster and it could really work.
The key for me would be that theirs only on World Champion that can appear and defend the title on both brands and that both RAW and Smackdown must have a total different feel and look to them.Something like RAW being the bigger named stars and have a focus more on the storylines like the Attitude era with the top talent being Cena,Reigns,Orton,Sheamus,Wyatt..ect while Smackdown would be more focus on the in ring work and have the indy talent they've signed over the last few years in Rollins,Balor,Zayn,Cesaro,Owens,Ambrose..ect and then have the tag teams and and titles on on brand and the Women's division and title on the other.
So you get the feeling of WWE .Vs The Indys and you should also have two big named stars as the GM's of both brands like maybe Triple H on RAW and Daniel Bryan if they'll never clear him again on Smackdown.Something like that would work great in my mind and you could also do a similar thing if you wanted to use other guys instead like HBK,Hart,Foley,Flair,Sting,Rock,Austin,Edge,Christian,Jericho....ect just two big named stars again that have had a historic feud over the years.

I mean there's pretty much already a brand split with NXT and the Main Roster

I don't think the roster is as bad as some people say. I think in a split situation you could give more time to some mid card guys and try to get them over with some longer matches and more promos. Cramming everybody on one show is making everything feel rushed and repetitive, with rematches and 6-man or more tags on a seemingly endless loop.

A roster split would work today, only because if it doesn't, then you just have what you currently have, only double. What the WWE currently has isn't bad, it's just not as good as it once was. All we're doing here is splitting up the roster and making Raw and Smackdown stand alone shows. It wouldn't hurt to try it again, especially since NXT is hot right now. That right there proved that the WWE can build Stars for the future, they just have to try.
I'd have the number one picks from the inaugural WWE Draft come back as Captains or General Managers for each show and make the picks. The Rock would get the first pick for Smackdown and the Undertaker would get the first pick for Raw. They don't have to be on TV every week, but everyone should feel excited every year when the WWE Draft comes around knowing that we will see things shaken up right after WrestleMania.

If it means actually using the near half of the roster that is either MIA or delegated exclusively to Superstars and Main Event, then I'm all for it.
Anyone who claims the roster is thin must be watching Raw and Smackdown and not looking at the actual list of signed talent. Sandow, Bo Dallas, Ascension, Axel, Fandango, Adam Rose, Primo/Epico, Slater... throw in a couple main-eventers and you have enough to fill in a weekly show right there. If these men were still booked NXT-style (think Bo Dallas: NXT champion as opposed to Bo Dallas: goofy Bo-Lieve sideshow), people would take them seriously and be interested in whatever they did with them. Having commentary ramble on about Raw's main event all throughout the lower card matches that make up Superstars is no way to make stars.

The whole time everyone was calling for the end of the brand extension, I was saying "NO! NO! NO!". It was a terrible decision.
I'd have the roster split up like this:
RAW: Cena Reigns Del Rio The New Day Alicia Foxx Adam Rose Kane Brock Lesnar The Bellas Curtis Axel Dolph Ziggler Goldust Stardust The Usos Los Matadores Mark Henry The Miz Naomi Natalya R Truth Ryback Prime Time Players Rosa Mendes Tyson Kidd The Undertaker Wade Barrett
SmackDown!: Dean Ambrose Randy Orton Seth Rollins Alberto Del Rio Becky Lynch Bo Dallas Big Show The Wyatt Family The Dudley Boyz Cesaro Cameron Charlotte Damien Sandow Daniel Bryan The Lucha Dragons Emma Fandango Eva Marie Heath Slater Jack Swagger Kevin Owens The Ascension Rusev w/Lana Neville Paige Sasha Banks Sheamus Tyler Breeze
I'd have one WWE World Heavyweight Championship contested across both shows, same with the tag and Divas' Championships but I would also have the US title exclusive to SD! and the IC title exclusive to RAW.
I'd give the shows their own PPVs again because I loved that, it gives the shows a chance to build to their PPVs and means you don't feel like you're paying for the same card every month.
I'd give them their own unique styles with different coloured ropes and sets.
Michael Cole will only be allowed on one of the shows, Jerry Lawler will be decapitated and JBL will be a heel announcer like he was in 2006. Renee Young will finally get the chance to be a permanent play-by-play announcer with Booker T and a returning Christian as her colour commentators on SmackDown! while the RAW team stays the same.
Are you not sports entertained?!
