WWE: 5 consequences of the Brand-to-Brand invitational

#4 Survivor Series will no longer be only about Brand Warfare

Just move away from Brand Warfare already

Ever since the brand split returned in 2016, Survivor Series has only been about Interbrand rivalries, to the extent that the Big 4 Pay-Per-View seems to be nothing more than a glorified version of the Bragging Rights PPV. The idea that the brands go to war with each other just because a PPV is approaching is quite illogical, and the absence of authority figures on RAW and SmackDown further makes the brand warfare confusing. Repeated invasion angles have destroyed the aura of the same, and a move away from the brand warfare will be best for the Survivor Series event.

Luckily, the introduction of Brand to Brand invitational (if it stays that long to begin with) will see the boundaries across brands fading, with no concrete reason for brands going to war. Also, the Empty Arena era has seen a lot of stables emerge in WWE, so we cannot rule out the possibility of a gang war at this year's Survivor Series event. Coupled with the speculation that The Undertaker may make his final appearance at the PPV he debuted, it will be better for the brand warfare theme to take a step back for this year. The concept can return at the following year's event, with proper booking ensuring that the idea doesn't feel imposed.
