This week on Friday night Smackdown WWE hinted a possible end of the brand split. After nearly six years of the existence of the second extension of the WWE roster, It looked like finally it is coming to an end.
On the opening segment of Friday Night SmackDown this week, Brock Lesnar challenged Roman Reigns in a champion vs champion match. This is may be the plan of WWE for WrestleMania 38. This is also a possible indication towards unifying the two world championships at the grandest stage of them all.
Is WWE Planning To Stop Brand Split?
In another segment, WWE SmackDown Women’s champion Charlotte Flair announced herself to be participating into the Women’s Royal Rumble match. This is another possibility of an unification of the two women’s championships of WWE at Wrestlemania 38.
There is a possibility of Charlotte Flair winning the women’s Royal Rumble and challenge Becky Lynch for the title and the title vs title match gets announced for WrestleMania 38 where the winner unifies most championships. There is a huge possibility of both Championship getting unified WWE stop roster extension.
WWE went through two roster extensions in the history of the business. The last time was in 2002 which ended in 2013 after WWE champion Randy Orton defeated World Heavyweight Champion John Cena and unified the two championships.
In 2016 WWE once again and came back with the idea of brand split and it is still going on for nearly six years. When the it started WWE seemed more adamant to keep the wrestlers of the two brands from each other. Slowly it became weaker and weaker. And now it looks like it is coming to an end.
But why suddenly WWE made such a decision? Even though it is all a theory but it is definitely possible. The reason might be the back to back failure of TV rating and viewership. WWE creative team is not being able to manage two different shows from quite a long time.
Beside the covid-19 pandemic has been a terrible curse for WWE. Since then WWE is not being able to manage anything. This is might be the biggest reason behind the decision of cancelling the brand extension. This might be a terrible news for most of the fans. But we guess there is no other option left either.
