10 Reasons WWE Fans Should Be Worried About Brand Split 2016

WWE Roster Fantasy Draft

Roman Reigns and John Cena need to be split-up. They’re too similar, too divisive, and too stagnant to occupy the same roster for any length of time, and they’ll only get in each other’s way if that happens.

WWE can keep them preoccupied with their own feuds for a while, but sooner or later, the company’s two favourite sons are going to have to collide, and nobody wants to sit through the endless weeks of blank promos and mixed reactions that such a feud would bring.

Splitting Reigns and Cena is a good idea, but one of them has to lose the “Superman” push. Imagine sitting through three hours of Roman Reigns dominating all before him on Monday Night Raw, then tuning into Smackdown hoping for an alternative, but witnessing the exact same thing with John Cena?

WWE needs to create differentiation between its two brands. They’ll only drive viewers away by having their almighty, unstoppable pseudo-babyfaces dominate both main event scenes.
