I feel like RAW would have all the big guys and SD! would be like the development brand.

But I'm gonna post a list of what I want to happen later.

^ That seems pretty great. Judging by those rosters, I would fucking LOVE Smackdown. So many great talents. You make me wish that was actually the roster. Funny

I don't want to raid NXT, there aren't 20 good free agents out there, and there aren't enough good tag teams or womens wrestlers. Everything else they can split into 2. I had to go Total Divas on Raw and Womens Wrestlers on Smackdown which was OK but only 8 per show means very little variety.

That's true, if they create NXT as a touring band, they dont need to move anyone. Either way, they have a lot of talent they don't use.

My main concern is females. How do you split what they have into 3 touring brands? Smackdown taking 1/3rd of the talent and having a "talent exchange agreement with NXT talent" might be the best case scenario. I still don't like it.

I wouldn't worry about the females at all. Once on the main roster they're going to be treated so that they can't actually be draws anyway.

Easy, do what they used to do. They have a lot of females in NXT (they had that women's battle royal). They can have, let's say, Sasha Banks and Bayley on one brand and Charlotte and Becky Lynch on the other. Then have a bunch of the other women (Paige, Naomi, Tamina, Nikki if she comes back, Natalya) from the main roster split evenly, then fill the gaps with divas from NXT that they dont usually use all the time (Peyton Royce, Nia Jax, Emma, Alexa Bliss etc.) and then leave NXT with Asuka as the face and she can feud with Eva Marie, Dana Brooke, Carmella, etc. while they build up more female faces. There a LOT of female wrestlers they don't use right.

If I had a brand split I would have only one World Champion.

Well, they put a lot of emphasis on the IC title on SD! right now, but I would definitely have two world titles. Having one undermines the other brand.

No I mean have one World Champion and have him defend it on both brands.

Your proposed solutions (or indifference) to the female issue does nothing for me. They do not have enough talent to split the best workers up. The only one of them that is good enough to make someone else look better than they are is Sasha.

In Razor's scenario Raw would regress to pre-NXT status and Smackdown would be half of what it could be.

Would be interesting to see how WWE would handle a brand split this time around. They would have a big incentive to level the playing field between RAW and Smackdown since they share the same network like it was in the beginning.

And there has been talks of Smackdown going live. They have two brands now (with WWE and NXT.) I don't think they can have three without two of them feeling short.

If they make two brands and have Smackdown be the "smarkish" brand, they can keep NXT developmental.

And what do you mean? Do you mean Sasha is the only talented female out of Bayley, Naomi, Paige, Charlotte, Becky Lynch, Emma, Alexa Bliss, and Asuka (and possibly Nikki)? They could very easily have a solid female roster on every show with the way I said it earlier. They have a ton of good females they don't use now as is, they could spotlight them more. Plus, they generally have 1-2 women's segments per show anyway.

No, I mean Sasha is the only one that can carry the ones that are below that group to a solid performance. Bayley can kind of do it in NXT but she leans on psychology and I'm not sure main roster fans will "get it."

Asuka is probably the best wrestler of the whole group, but how does she make someone that isn't in that top group look good?

For as long as the feuds stay "fresh" you can get by with only having 2 or 3 really good female wrestlers per show, but in the long run you can't. Sasha can carry the average wrestlers. Who is going to do that on the other show? Of course you can have Charlotte vs Becky and it'll be fine. Of course you can have a couple more feuds. But when you only really have 8-10 really talented female wrestlers and only one that can sell their ass off and make someone that isn't really that good look good, I don't know what the hell you do after a year.

Let's say you leave Asuka in NXT like you said.

Raw can be Charlotte, Becky Lynch, Natalya, Nikki Bella, Paige, and Alexa Bliss
(Smackdown: Sasha Banks, Bayley, Naomi, Tamina, Peyton Royce, and Emma)

Do four months of Becky vs Charlotte. Three months of Becky vs Nikki, Three months of Becky vs Paige, A PPV each for Alexa and Nattie... What do you have after that? Draft them and have half as many fresh match-ups? Do the same match-ups over again?

I don't think you can split 10 or so good female wrestlers into three touring brands and have the product of all three be interesting enough to keep fans interested in all three. I don't think they can establish new females fast enough to meet the demands of three touring brands. Yes, you can logically split them up and say "That is a talented group" but after an initial run you're looking at trying to shake up the roster and bring up new girls. I think you'd inevitably face rehashing and all three products would suffer.

Let's be completely honest about this... Charlotte vs Nikki might be a decent enough match, but no one is going to care. Natalya is better than decent and no one cares about her matches either. Together, where you can take advantage of all of your most talented performers and have them work together, you have a real chance at growing female wrestling. Apart, I think you're just hoping you don't drown. You have your feuds that will do very well on both sides, but after 9 months I think you're putting on feuds that you're hoping will buy you time while you figure something else out... and I don't think they can out-run that line for very long.

---

I think they can do two touring brands pretty well. If they grabbed every top female free agent they could probably get a third brand. If you grabbed Candice LaRae (who is trying to get pregnant I think), Kimber Lee, Santana Garrett, what's left of Gail Kim, Cherry Bomb, Cheerleader Melissa if you can get her out of her LU contract... I think you could do it. I really don't see it right now.

Well yeah, but if they really need more women they can always leech the NXT women lol. They can bring Asuka and Dana Brooke up. NXT is supposed to be developmental anyway right? They can work around it, it's a 1 hour show with alternating rosters.

Alternatively, they could have the women's title on SD! and keep it to actual competition and have their total divas BS on RAW. I don\'t know

I would have the Intercontinental Championship elevated at the level of the World Heavyweight title like from September 2002 to December 2013 as the main event title for Smackdown and eventually have Finn Balor or Neville as the Intercontinental Champion/Face of Smackdown. That way guys like Tyler Breeze, Neville, AJ Styles, Bray Wyatt and Cesaro could main event Smackdown and build main event experience so that they could move on to RAW and the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
