World Wrestling Entertainment may have announced the date for the upcoming draft and brand split, but there remains a whole host of questions as to what the WWE landscape will look like afterwards. We still don't know what is going to happen with championships, and we still don't know what is going to happen with pay-per-views.

According to a 'Wrestlingleaker' on Reddit, a credible source if ever there was one, WWE will indeed be running two pay-per-views a month and will also be bringing back some old names in the process. The user posted a picture of what seems to be the WWE PPV schedule for the rest of the year, with Backlash and Clash of the Champions set for September, No Mercy and Hell in a Cell in October, Survivor Series in November and finally TLC and Roadblock in December.

It has been rumoured that WWE will be going with two PPVs a month in the wake of the split, but up until now this has been pure conjecture. It seems somewhat churlish to complain about too much wrestling, but two PPVs a month seems like too much. Bringing back old names would for sure be a good move however.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
