5 harsh realities about the upcoming WWE Draft that nobody wants to talk about

#3. What's stopping WWE from bringing back the Wild Card rule?

This was the dreaded moment...

The Wild Card rule was probably the worst creative decision that WWE took this year. The brand split was a tried and tested method that worked well and for a very good reason.

Obviously, it's a big relief that WWE is officially concluding the Wild Card rule, but it proved to be a lot more detrimental to the product than many people would have liked. In fact, even Seth Rollins was critical of it, saying:

"The Wild Card really muddled things up, to be honest with you,

Now you're seeing those guys every single week. It used to feel special when I see the New Day but now they're eating pancakes backstage every chance they get on Monday and I'm not a fan of that."

While the Wild Card rule won't be seen until WrestleMania, what exactly is stopping WWE from re-implementing the rule? While FOX does have a big say in the matter, if WWE gets impatient again, they can choose to bring back the Wild Card rule whenever they see fit.

We can't even put it past them to prevent that. But hopefully, we get many years of two separate brands.
