A large number of fans are not happy with AJ Styles’ RAW appearance this week as they are expecting a hard brand split. RAW already has a large number of talents and they seriously do not need Smackdown stars to fill their show, especially not on the main event.

Reports from PW Insider suggests that this was a late call from none other than Vince McMahon. He was the sole reason behind bringing AJ Styles on RAW this week to team up with Seth Rollins. McMahon did not maintain the previous brand split properly either. His decisions like the Wildcard rule destroyed the previous one, he may kill the current brand split too.

According to reports from Insider, Tiffany Stratton vs. Lyra Valkyria and Ilja Dragunov vs. Dijak received massive backstage praise. These two matches featured on the recent NXT PLE that was Battleground and it was an excellent event overall.

PW Insider reports that former WWE Universal Heavyweight Champion Braun Strowman is not out of action with an “unspecified injury” and he would be out of action for a while. Strowman made his return to WWE on last September and he had been treated mostly as a mid card since returning.

Recent reports from WRKD Wrestling that former WWE NXT United Kingdom Champion Ilja Dragunov would be called up to the main roster after Summerslam and he would be given the opportunity to be a member of WWE RAW faction Imperium which is a Europe based heel faction.
