WWE have finally started to release line-ups for their post-Draft Live Event tours, with pwmania.com reporting the following line-ups for the company’s post-SummerSlam shows:-

Tour 1: Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton, AJ Styles, The Miz, Cesaro, Alberto Del Rio, Enzo & Big Cass, The Dudley Boyz, Becky Lynch and Natalya.

Tour 2: Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, The New Day, Sami Zayn, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, Rusev, Charlotte, Sasha Banks and Paige.

It remains to be seen which tour is Raw and which is SmackDown, but these line-ups are telling.

First, there are women and tag teams on both sides. This means that WWE could be set to split both divisions in half, and potential run separate championships on SmackDown and Raw. The women’s division is particularly understocked at the moment, and on-paper, separating the talent would only further dilute an already shallow talent pool.

Second, AJ Styles and his allies Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson are on opposite sides. Are WWE on the verge of splitting-up The Club just a few months after their debut? Could Finn Balor’s imminent call-up see him join his former Bullet Club buddies Gallows & Anderson in AJ’s absence?

As with all rumours, it’s best to approach these line-ups with a hint of caution, but it’s certainly an interesting split. It’s also worth noting that long-term rivals Kevin Owen and Sami Zayn are listed on the same roster, while Dean Ambrose has been separated from his former Shield allies Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins.
