10 Ways To Make WWE's Brand Split 2016 A Success

4. All Mixed Pay-Per-Views

Yep, every single one. Unlike last time when pay-per-views were exclusive to each brands - not including WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, SummerSlam and Survivor Series - all major events should feature key matches from both rosters.

Even though the company will be split into two different rosters, there should be opportunities for Superstars of both Raw and SmackDown to interact. Fans will get the opportunity to see this play out on a monthly basis.

Further than having Superstars from opposing brands interacting for the sake of it, think of how exciting it will be to see the progression of two different shows' storylines in one place. With both brands' creative teams telling clear, exciting stories, every undercard match has the potential to be a mini-main event.

There is no reason why midcard feuds have to fall by the wayside and be crammed into small time frames. With the WWE Network becoming the prime source for viewers rather than pay-per-view, events could be extended to four hours - disposing of the current pre-show in favour of another hour of scheduled matches - in order for midcard matches to be given enough time to live up to their hype.

Overly-opinionated Australian WWE smark who is definitely not #booty. Slowly angering the IWC one article at a time. We will probably strongly dislike each other - let's be friends! @MattKMarsden
