1. Return of the Brand Split?
New graphics have been produced by WWE’s marketing department for both Raw & SmackDown. The Raw brand features: John Cena, Kevin Owens, Bray Wyatt, Alberto Del Rio, Nikki Bella & Charlotte. The SmackDown brand features: Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, The New Day & Paige.
Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer noted that this could be a hint at a possible brand split, or could also mean absolutely nothing. The rumors of a brand split started a few weeks back when Shane McMahon was put in a match with The Undertaker for the control of Raw.
With WrestleMania almost around the corner, the talks of doing a brand split have increased and it could be very well possible that the brand split returns and Superstars and Divas get drafted to Raw & SmackDown. Another reason behind doing this is that WWE wants to give as much importance to SmackDown as Raw gets.
