6 Enormous things WWE is changing in 2019

#4 Wildcard Rule

Wildcard Rule

One of the things, that has received the most negative reactions since being introduced, is the Wildcard Rule.

The rule was introduced by Vince McMahon himself. It allowed for WWE Superstars from the RAW brand to show up on SmackDown Live and vice versa. The rule originally stated that only 4 Superstars from each brand are going to be able to show up.

The rule has been rather flexible, as there have definitely been weeks where there were more Superstars from corresponding brands. This has led to reduced television time for some of the other wrestlers in the company.

However, we might be seeing an end to the Wildcard Rule extremely soon. While nothing has been confirmed, with the hiring of Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff and making them the Executive Directors of RAW and SmackDown respectively.

This means that since both men have very distinct ideas of what their shows should be portraying, we will be getting a clear demarcation between the rosters and the Wildcard Rule will come to an end.
