WWE WrestleMania 32: 9 Last Minute Rumours You Need To Know
7.The Eve Of ABrand Split?
One of the many ways that the WWE tried to shake things up following the death of their competition was to create an in-house rivalry between two brands: RAW and Smackdown. Complete with different creative heads in each house, a completely separate roster, and much more, the brand split allowed there to be two top champions in one company without one appearing inferior to the other. It gave the spotlight to certain stars who may not have gotten TV time otherwise, and brought out the best in some key players, such as Edge, as their careers took off.
Rumors began circulating of a brand split when Ticketmaster posted a RAW vs WWE goof-up as the Monday Night RAW event following WrestleMania. Ever since, folks are taking to the Internet to offer evidence of their fan theories, including Shane McMahon grabbing hold of RAW by defeating the Undertaker and fighting off Vince McMahon for the remainder of control in the company. But could a brand split work in a climate where RAW has an hours advantage over Smackdown on a weekly basis? How could Smackdown move away from the B-show stigma it has gained ever since Paul Heyman stopped helping with creative for the series?
More often than not, these types of errors are only that: misprints, not misspeaks. This was likely the shoddy work of a lackadaisical web employee of Ticketmaster who lazily entered a misrepresentation of what the event was going to depict. Still, the idea of a brand split is exactly what some folks are looking for, and this could signify something huge in the alleged Hell in a Cell main events outcome.
