Now, I have been a WWE fan long enough to know that this brand invitational is just a part of kayfabe. But, this brand invitational might have some huge implications behind the scenes too.

Take, for example, Akira Tozawa. The Japanese Star has been a staple of RAW and NXT recently, but his presentation on both shows is quite contrasting. Tozawa had a great showing on NXT, delivering in every Cruiserweight Title tournament match and coming out a bigger deal than he was before. On the other hand, he was jobbing out to almost all RAW superstars on the red brand. Given that the two shows are on the same network, it damages the reputation of NXT to a large extent, making the fans believe that NXT stars are not that big a deal, leading to the viewers tuning out of the show.

So, to make every brand and superstar look better than before, the creative heads of all three brands, namely Paul Heyman (RAW), Triple H (NXT), and Bruce Prichard (SmackDown) may start working together, focusing on the development of all three shows. Triple H has proved his worth by making NXT what it is today, and the Paul Heyman effect has seen the revival of WWE's flagship show. Bruce has been responsible for some great storylines in the past, and when you have three of the best minds working in the business together, there is little chance that the product doesn't get better.

Let's hope that too many cooks don't spoil the broth here!
