6. Jim Ross Says Brand Split’s Success Will Be Determined By WrestleMania 33
WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross recently updated his website and gave his views on the upcoming WWE Brand Split, which is just 2 weeks away (Draft will take place on the July 19th live edition of SmackDown). Below is what JR wrote:
“Lots of speculation as to the WWE brand split that will be coming up soon. Seems as if many hardcore fans “need” info on what’s going to go down as it relates to who will comprise the rosters. I’m more than happy to watch the first live, Smackdown and watch this matter play out. As I’ve said on our Podcast, I think it will be until WM33 until a true sense of what has transpired can be intelligently judged as to whether this major development by WWE is a success or not.
I do think the WWE brand split can be one of the most significant business maneuvers that WWE has done in years.”
