They need to just end the brand split.

They need to just end the brand split. God no. As passable as some shows can be, it was so much worse before the draft. Every show felt the same. PPVs felt the same, month after month, year after year. The period between the post WrestleMania 32 Raw and the Draft in 2016 was unbearable.

I just look at how we're missing so many good matches and stories because of guys being on different shows. But I would say that even with the brand split, most of the PPV matches are matches we've seen 5 or 6 times on tv, no?

And by the time they finally come around, there will be enough buzz around them to consider them 'dream matches'. I can't wait to see Orton vs. Joe. I do find it weird that they've given us Cena vs. Nakamura and Orton vs. Nakamura on free TV out of the blue with no build up. Those are WrestleMania level matches. Same with Cena vs. Reigns and Joe vs. Lesnar.

Same with Cena vs. Reigns and Joe vs. Lesnar. So very true. Bad part is those Nakamura matches have almost been the only highlight of SD for the past several weeks. I can't even bare to watch it anymore. I used to loathe Raw now I'd rather see it than SD
