11 Burning Questions For WWE Raw (Aug 15)

4. Will We See Any Crossovers?

The brand extension, or brand split, or roster split, or whatever you call it was supposed to divide up the WWE roster into two distinct groups: Raw and SmackDown. Those groups are supposed to be separate and exist in their own universes, overlapping only at PPVs.

But since the draft took place, we’ve seen Randy Orton invade Raw, Brock Lesnar invade SmackDown, and Daniel Bryan show up as invited guest on Raw. For separate brands, we’re getting a lot of crossovers here in a short amount of time – and pretty soon after the division took place.

So with Raw in go-home mode for SummerSlam and Brock showing up again on Raw, could we see another crossover? Might Orton return to try to exact revenge one more time? Or could another superstar show up for whatever reason? Or perhaps things will stabilise a little and the universes will separate for now.
