Regardless, the last few years of the brand split were pretty weak, and with the influx of talent from the indies and NXT, they're going to need to do something to get more TV time for the mid card superstars on roster. It'll be interesting how the brand split ends up going, and whether they'll split the titles again or just have one champ who just floats between brands, but I see Smackdown serving as the in between from NXT to Raw. Give guys like Breeze, Neville, and some of the other NXT guys who didn't transition that well a chance to get over on one of the big brands before going straight to Monday nights.
