Vince Russo raised concerns about the current state of WWE’s brand split, particularly in light of the lead-up to Survivor Series: WarGames. The former WWE head writer pointed out that several top stars, like CM Punk, Jey Uso, and Sami Zayn, have appeared on both RAW and SmackDown, blurring the lines of the brand division. Russo questioned whether the brand split is still being enforced or if WWE is shifting away from it altogether.
He speculated that WWE might be moving toward a more unified roster, especially with the upcoming broadcast of RAW on Netflix, potentially signaling the end of the brand split. Russo emphasized that it’s becoming increasingly difficult to keep track of which stars belong to which brand, undermining the distinct separation that the brand split was meant to create.
The issue of the brand split is a topic that has been discussed for years, with some speculating it has become less of a focal point in WWE’s storylines. Fans and experts alike will likely get more clarity on this matter after Survivor Series, which has historically been a key event in determining the direction of brand rivalries and talent divisions.
