10 Predictions For WWE's Brand Split 2016

It no longer feels like WWE’s authority figures are actively dragging the show down, mainly down to The Authority disappearing from our screens, but also because they’re clearly building towards a long-term Stephanie vs. Shane showdown.

A Stephanie-headed team of Raw superstars heading into a traditional five-on-five Survivor Series match against Shane’s Smackdown just makes sense. These two are too different and too bullish to co-exist as co-GMs for much longer, and let’s face it, they’re McMahons and so they were born to trade passive-aggressive barbs on national television.

McMahon family feuds are nothing new, but this one has potential.
