The cost of running a live show vs. taped may make them try hard on it this time around. Personally I haven't watched Smackdown in probably 7 years. It used to be solid but gradually it just became unwatchable noise.

Hopefully they have learned from the last brand split and will not let Smackdown go down the crapper again.
I'd say if they are going to do the split than let Paul Heyman run Smackdown again. When he had creative control of SD it was a great show.

I didn't think they would end NXT, it is arguably the most popular brand WWE has right now. Even by some of Vince's dumb business decisions that would be bad.
I was reading a story in the Courier-Journal today, if the commission and WWE can work things out they have a temporary hold date for April of next year for a Raw in either Lexington or Louisville.
So starting tonight SyFy is running a 2 hour version of Raw from 8-10 this evening. Not sure how long this will last but kind of interesting.

NXT will stop touring in June, at least based on what I read.
We've all seen the network special card. Maybe they're just going to put the NXT folks on the house show circuit and keep the TV?

I hate the idea of a brand split too. However, with so many call ups, and so many very good young workers on the main roster, it's the only way to get everyone their share of spotlight without letting them go build up a different company. Obviously, I see Raw being the biggest draw, but over the course of the next few months, you will see a lot of flipping and flopping as people start getting over or left behind on the storyline.
I fully expect Cena to return tomorrow night and beat Rusev and take the US Title to Smackdown with him. If they are serious about making SD a better show they need Reigns on Raw and Cena on SD.
One rumor is the only times the Raw and SD people will be on the same show is the night after WrestleMania and the night after Summerslam.
Rumor is we will have Cena vs. Reigns at Summerslam this year so how they get to that without them being on the same show is beyond me.

Looking forward to the draft. It's what the company needs, just don't put Orton on Smackdown please.
Hope Rollins is on SD where no body can hear his dumb 18 mins promos.

OK. Yes, that Cena t-shirt is definitely made to mimic the logo of PBR. But it also has been made dissimilar in multiple ways, so it is not a copy. And unless Cena makes beer, it's not like the t-shirt will cause confusion in the marketplace such that PBR will lose sales.
Actually, I hope the tweet was tongue in cheek, because both parties could benefit greatly from this, they should definitely be working together. PBR should give Cena and the WWE express permission to create a more exact replica of the PBR logo (maybe a small royalty fee included), PBR will get publicity and brand recognition, and Cena will get some Stone-Cold-esque everyman/rough-n-ready/bad-boy rub from being associated with a blue-collar brew. Win-win.

Well WWE has already redone the shirt.
Interesting story...WWE.com has a story up on every person who has competed in Money In The Bank...all except one. Three guesses who is missing.

Guess 1 - CM Punk?
So who is Cena going after tonight? My guess is Rusev but I haven't been keeping up with dirt sheets - just figured they would renew the rivalry since Rusev getting a monster heel push again.
My early Summerslam guesses...
Rollins/Reigns
Rusev/Cena
Lesnar/Wyatt
Miz/Ambrose
Charlotte/Paige
New Day/Gallows and Anderson

Didn't Benoit compete in a MITB match?Well WWE has already redone the shirt.

Well there is only one guy WWE has tried to erase from their history and I believe he was in a MiTB and that is Beniot.
Yes it was Benoit he was in the first match at WM 21...Punk was on there, would be hard to leave him out since he won it twice.
I fully expect Cena to challenge and beat Rusev for the US Title tonight.
Only thing I have seen mentioned for tonight is:
Baron Corbin vs. Dolph Ziggler in a "technical wrestling match."

I thought PBR had turned into hipster beer.
(Back in my day it was bottom rung along with Natty Lite and Milwaukee's Best, but PBR has seen a resurgence by the mustachio fedora crowd.)
It's still a **** beer but it has become a staple in douche culture.
I work with some younger millennials (every negative stereotype you can imagine), and the guy who has a ****** mustache, worse haircut, bad taste in music and wears scarves year round drinks exclusively PBR.
When I told him it was known as poors beer 20 years ago he tried to say the formula changed. So, I asked him to bring me one. He did. Nope, no change. Still ******.
Well, did not know that. Eff the hipsters ruining my memory of my dad. I remember he drank PBR before he passed away. I was only 5.
NXT is coming to Cincinnati and Louisville in July

Is this your co-worker?
Put a bad mustache that a high school sophomore would think was weak on him, and yes, that's the guy.
I agree those matches were pretty badass but losing to the champ twice, then Owens, then possibly Cena because we all know how that will go, that's boarder line burying. I do like him feuding with Cena after his return and not being stuck in the mid card though. Hopefully it's a back and fourth fued. I do see your point though.
