7 Ways To Make WWE Kings And Queens Matter Again

4. Ability To Jump Brands

WWE loves its brand split and makes a huge deal out of how Raw and SmackDown superstars rarely cross over and face each other (except for all the times they do).

So why not give the tournament winners the ability to hop brands at will? If you’re going to have a King or Queen across all of WWE, why limit them to one show? Zelina Vega could pop up randomly on SmackDown to jaw with Charlotte Flair about who the real queen is.

Let Xavier Woods show up on Raw to support his buddy Big E. Hell, you could have him win the Raw tag titles with E, then win the SmackDown version with Kofi Kingston if you wanted to do something unprecedented.

Either way, in terms of an in-universe ability that would make perfect sense, brand-hopping is the ideal WWE superpower.
