I'll make a bold prediction and say they send Roman to Smackdown. They did it with Lesnar way back when he wasn't drawing/garnering the reaction they wanted despite them clearly grooming him to be the face of the company. 
 
On second thought, no chance it happens. 

 

[Pugz]

im excited as hell for this. hooefully the champion floats between the two shows, same with divas, and tag belts. now the ic and us titles both can be strong again.

 

[Pugz]

could this mean raw goes back to two hours?

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I thought this was a prank at first. I'm pumped

 

[Big Papi]

could this mean raw goes back to two hours?

Likely not. They have been saying so far it'll stay at 3.

hour 3 since this has started has seen like a 70% ratings dip. this is their time to fix that.

I'm very aware, they just don't care it seems. I hope they put it back to 2 hours, it'll be better that way and not seem like they favor Raw.

totally agree. it'll help with the action too. less replays of what we just saw.

it'll be live so something like that would be noticeable

 

[Senators26]

This is awesome. I can see Styles being the face of SD. Owens too.

 

[BlackMamba]

Hell yea I can actually watch it, My two nights off are Mondays and Tuesdays that's perfect.
 
Cant wait

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

I'm not excited for a brand split, but i guess it enough to utilize the roster. Idk how the hell a brand split is going to work for Raw with 3 damn hours.

 

[Pugz]

wonder if they call any nxt chaps up

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

wonder if they call any nxt chaps up

 
Probably not the big names. Then the roster would be depleted lol.

 

[Big Papi]

Could see Roman, Bray, Cena, Rollins faces of one show (Raw)

Ambrose, Styles, Owens, and Orton for the other (Smackdown)

Cena and Orton being the part time attractions.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

If Cena and reigns are both on raw I'll probably just stick to smackdown haha
