Rumor mills have been buzzing ever since and here is a look at the top rumors that came across this week and their potential impact.
#5 WWE thinking about another brand split
The good old days of Raw and SmackDown being separate brands with separate rosters might be coming back as the company is looking to elevated SmackDown to the status of Monday Night Raw.
There are rumors of SmackDown moving to Thursday night and going live to get the job done. If that is the case, then a brand split would be the best path.
WWE needs not run same storylines for 5 hours of programming every week and instead could run separate angles on both shows.
The fans were clearly into the whole brand split thing last time around and if they could let someone like Paul Heyman take the control of the blue brand, then we might see some pretty interesting developments in the WWE very soon.
