A brand where Ziggler, Rhodes, Owens, Ambrose, Miz, Styles, Zayn could all be the main figureheads could possibly rule.

While I think this is just speculation, I say why not? Shakes things up and give WWE a much needed fresh coat of paint. Give Shane RAW. Steph SD. And Triple H NXT. Give each show their own personality and talent. Sit back and see what happens. Hunterwinslol.

Yes! I loved the brand split. This is funny though. Last night during the promo I felt like it was hinted at, and I'd love it back.

I have been wanting this for so long; lets guys get higher on the card and in turn gives us more players in the big leagues. Im all for it; give Reigns/Rollins Raw and Ambrose/Cena Smackdown, could seriously do wonders for the company and roster tbh

If they go ahead with this they better get to work, because right now they don't have enough legitimate 'main eventers' to make the idea work like it did the first time round. I also suspect Nxt could get raided pretty badly to bolster the ranks.
That being said, if they play it off as a legitimate competition it could be interesting. Have Shane appearing on Nxt and starting bidding wars for a guy like Nakamura who then appears on both shows to see where he wants to go. Stuff like that could be a lot of fun

Give each show their own personality and talent. Sit back and see what happens. Shane wouldn't be trusted with Raw due to the awful creative suggestions he's made in the past. He also still has an actual job outside of the company still, I think. Stephanie moving back down to creative from her current job would be seen as a demotion, so it's unlikely. I don't think Hunter would give up his job as head writer of the main shows either, as it'd look like he was being demoted too. For the time being, he's staying in charge of creative for any and all brands.

It's something refreshing I guess. Sounds pretty good to me so far, but I'm gonna have to see if I like it when/if it happens.

I'd be for it.
I hope they keep one main World Title and just use the US and IC titles as brand exclusives.

Scrap Smackdown, rebrand it as WCW/Nitro and lets roll I actually like that idea and this marks the 15th anniversary of WCW death.Maybe once Shane wins he takes over RAW or Smackdown and as you stated makes it WCW,this would be a great call back to the old "Mondy Night Wars" and also to the Invasion storyline in which Shane was the leader and lost.This would also spice up the stroyline with it being "WWE .Vs WCW" once again even with WCW being in reality owned by WWE.

If it's a true brand split I'd be ok with it. Meaning, superstars are EXCLUSIVE to each show. None of that jumping around bs we got before. I feel they have enough talent to fill out both shows. Would also give them a chance to build up new stars.

I jokingly made a suggestion like this in the thread about what's in the lock box:

Also...each show needs to have its own feel, i.e. different entrance stage, lighting etc. Make the shows feel completely different.

Except in Hunter's case with NXT of coarse.

A brand split can work only if the storylines are on point. If the storylines suck then the whole brand split thing is going to fail.

It worked in 2002 because of all the top talent they had. Today they barely have 2 legit main eventers, let alone enough guys to fill 2 rosters. Though if it's gets Ambrose out from under Reigns I'm all for it. This. Plus I don't want them to split the World Title again.

A brand split wouldn't work today. The writing sucks, booking is crap, the rosters thin a brand split is the last thing the company needs. Also how are you suppose to fill up a 3 hour Raw with half the roster gone?
Another thing there is no need for a brand split. The reason why it originally happened was because of the influx of stars in 2002. The roster was too big so they had to split it.
