WWE Raw, WWE SmackDown, the Brand Split and More from the Two-Show Mailbag

Two Champs? 

I sure hope not. The two world title system rendered one world championship as the new Intercontinental title, while making the secondary championships even more meaningless. Having one world champion would better highlight the differences between each brand as the two would each be juxtaposed against one individual. 

By introducing a new world title for SmackDown, WWE would be implying that the two shows are not on equal footing as one show would have to essentially start from scratch in terms of its world title division.

WWE has too many championships already. If anything, it needs to get rid of a secondary championship and give all titleholders the right to travel to each show. This would add value to what it means to be a champion. 

Remember, Money in the Bank is going to happen prior to the WWE draft. If there are two world champions, does that mean the Money in the Bank winner will be able to cash in his briefcase on either Raw or SmackDown? Is he only limited to the show he's eventually drafted on? A one-title system would avoid such confusion. 

Monday Night Reigns? 

The only way Roman Reigns can continue to thrive as "the guy" is if he is the face of "the show." Keeping Reigns on the flagship Raw emphasizes that, while featuring John Cena on SmackDown would give that show credibility with a legacy star leading the charge. 

By keeping Reigns and Cena separate, this would add more of a dream-match feel to a seemingly inevitable collision between the two, hopefully at WrestleMania. 

Cena and Reigns still have yet to face each other in a one-on-one match. WWE can better protect this match and restrain itself from giving it away so easily by putting them on two different shows.

Even if Reigns ends up on SmackDown, following the brand split there is no reason for both of these WWE Superstars to be on the same show. If they were both on Raw, WWE would be sending a message that Monday nights are still a priority. If they are shipped to SmackDown together, it would be an encouraging start for the blue brand, but wildly unnecessary. 

SmackDown in the Comment Section? 

Every Internet darling. Cesaro, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, AJ Styles, the returning Neville. Superdragon. All of them. Maybe even buy the Internet Championship off Zack Ryder to boot.

WWE could make SmackDown the hipster show. If Raw is the Hard Rock Cafe of the WWE Universe, SmackDown could be Peet's Coffee and Tea. 

If WWE wants two distinct rosters, Raw can be booked for mainstream audiences, while SmackDown can be a rich man's NXT. Endless praise on message boards and lower ratings will make hardcore fans rally around the Tuesday night upstart, creating an organic civil war between fans of each show. If enough time passes, they'll forget it's all under one brand and think they're booking SmackDown, further strengthening the bond. 

With one hour less of programming, SmackDown could be fun as a wrestling-heavy show. My only concern with putting that many former longtime independent wrestlers on the same brand is whether all those aging veterans can stay healthy. WWE's struggles with injuries would only be more glaring if stars are exclusive to certain shows.
