I get using Reigns against Rusev in his hometown. Plus it gives him a feud. But damn was I hoping for Angle. I know it's not likely but that would have been a great moment

Maybe this is the beginning of "Made in the USA Roman Reigns. He can wear a red white and blue chest protector and ride around on the Roman Express and hand out lollipops.

Its the only way to promote the upcoming Lesnar/Orton fight at Summerslam seeing as both are from different brands.

I see nothing wrong with the invasion of brands. They're building a feud, so they have a reason to invade each others shows, and we had the GMs getting security to get them out. Its not like they showed up to another brand just for the hell of it. When that happens, then we can all say they ruined the brand split.

I've been one of the most strict supporters of true brand separation from the get go. If you're going to do it, and do it right, they can't have guys showing up on the opposing show on a weekly basis just for the sake of adding star power.

With that being said, if there's going to be exceptions, and occasionally, exceptions are called for, then how they'd handled Brock and Orton is exactly how it should be done. Both Orton and Brock were conscious of their wrong-doing, security was promptly dispatched to get rid of them, the authority figures were up in arms, and the production truck didn't cue up the guy's music like it was all part of the show. As long as they stick with that, and do it sparingly, I don't see any issue whatsoever.
