3. Edge & Christian Reveal What They Would Like To See On Raw & SmackDown If They Were General Managers
During a recent interview with 120 Sports, former World Heavyweight Champion Christian & WWE Hall of Famer Edge talked about Raw & SmackDown being separate Brands now with the upcoming Brand Extension and revealed what they would like to see if they were General Managers:
Christian: “Give them fresh matches that they haven’t seen. A lot of times with WWE being live every single week a lot of the times you get the same matchups and that sort of thing. I just want new, fresh matchups that we haven’t seen. I think the brand split will help that a little bit. It will also give guys that need a little bit of extra air time. Maybe they were not being utilized up to their full capabilities. It will give them a chance to step up and to prove themselves.”
Edge: “I would like them to be two entirely seperate shows. Open up a Cruiserweight Division. You’ve done the CWC with NXT and on the WWE Network. Have a Cruiserweight Division. Put the women on one brand. The tag division… have that be a focus. Then put your bigger stars on RAW. Filter in a few big stars on Smackdown just to make sure people tune in and watch but… give people an opportunity.
I think people want to see something different. Make them two different shows. RAW is three hours. That’s a long time to sit down and watch wrestling. Make them different.”
