#1: Slow and painful death of the brand split

The RAW Supershow was the official end of the Brand Split in its first iteration
The RAW Supershow was the official end of the Brand Split in its first iteration

The initial brand split ended in 2011, and the lead-up to the demise of the brand split was similar to the current scenario. Superstars starting to appear on both brands due to low ratings, lack of main-event level superstars, etc.

The wild-card rule could be the beginning of the end for the brand split, and if RAW and SDL go back to being what they were in 2015, the ratings will plummet even further.

RAW and SDL are presented as two different shows produced by the same company. For example, X-Men and Avengers are part of MCU but they don't crossover unnecessarily. WWE must ensure this is the case of RAW and SDL.
