One of the highlights after WrestleMania is generally what is known as the Superstar Shake-Up. What happens during this process is that RAW and SmackDown Superstars move from one brand to another, until the rosters are completely finalized. But this week, Vince McMahon introduced a brand new rule that will not make fans very happy at all.
The Wild Card Rule allows for 4 superstars from RAW to show up on SmackDown Live and vice versa during any given week, nullifying the Superstar-Shake Up. Now the rosters will not seem special at all, and anything can happen at any point. Survivor Series will also feel a lot less special now that the two brands will engage a lot more.

I think that this is one of the worst decisions from WWE in a long time. Let's hope that this doesn't mean that the brand split is ending as well.
