What if more WWE Superstars did double duty?

#1. Top stars everywhere

Top talents like Roman Reigns could see their schedules get even busier, pulling double duty on a regular basis.

One of the dynamics that is already clear from the wild card rule is that, while the brand split may technically remain in effect for the core cast of each show, it’s top tier stars WWE will use big names more liberally across brands to draw viewership.

Roman Reigns in particular has worked a lot of consecutive Monday and Tuesday nights, and we could see a similar dynamic for someone like Johnny Gargano on NXT and 205 Live, or Velveteen Dream straddling the main roster line by making only selected appearances on Raw or SmackDown while remaining an NXT mainstay.

It’s debatable whether this is a sustainable strategy. After all, a key benefit of the brand split is bolstering longevity. A star like Seth Rollins can work TV just once a week when there’s not a PPV going on and both remain special for not being over exposed, and protect his body from extra wear and tear. Top stars pulling double duty on a regular basis could negate these effects.
