#2 Introduce the wildcard rule

Genius or not. Vince McMahon just introduced the wild card rule.

WWE has come up with some pretty ridiculous ideas in the past, but this really wasn't one of them. While some might argue that Vince McMahon didn't introduce the rule the way it needed to be, he still made a call that select Superstars will now be able to travel to Smackdown Live and Raw via a wildcard slot.

Again, the moment was kind of diminished by interruption after interruption and McMahon's rambling to himself about being a genius, but it was an interesting idea that could solve a lot of WWE's problems. Not only is that evident by the fact that it allows certain Superstars to appear on both brands, but it also allows WWE to play with the brand supremacy idea again as well.

If nothing else, its a good start to something that could really pay dividends for WWE in the future and also comes at a perfect time since Smackdown Live is set to air on Fox Sports in October. This gives Fox Sports access to both The Raw and Smackdonw Live roster and will definitely create some interesting scenarios as time goes on.
