We saw an unusual sight when a number of superstars from SmackDown Live appeared on RAW this week. Earlier, Roman Reigns was scheduled to appear on RAW, but four other superstars of the blue brand showed up on the flagship. The Chairman insisted that he started a "Wild Card Rule" but it could a hint that the company might end the brand split.

The brand split was re-introduced in 2016 when the rosters became separated for RAW and SmackDown Live. Besides the rosters, the company also brought different belts for different brands. The RAW Women's Title and the SmackDown Women's Title were introduced after the brand split while the same scenario happened for the men's Tag Team Titles.

Roman Reigns' departure was a big blow for the red brand as the low ratings were visible last week. The SmackDown Live superstars arrived on RAW this week, and the "Wild Card Rule" will allow the RAW superstars to appear on the SmackDown Live. With SmackDown Live moving to Fox in October, the company might merge two brands to improve the ratings. The top-tier superstars of the company can appear on both brands if the company decides to end the brand split.
