God Styles is such a good purchase. He was never that good on the mic in TNA. Cena's doing his part too.

Loved it. One of the best exchanges I've seen in a while. I'm rooting for him at the Slam. Plus the Wyatt appearance was a awesome wrinkle. Good to see him care for the title in some capacity.

There were only 3 good things for Smackdown.  Natalya destroying women.  Ambrose.  Styles/Cena fued.  I hope that fued goes the distance.  Im not sure what would be next for Styles other than Ambrose.

If Styles is going after Ambrose (or Ziggler, I still have hope for him), then he HAS to go over at SummerSlam against Cena. It just wouldn't make sense to have him lose to Cena and then suddenly he's the #1 contender to the WWE Title, unless they have Dean's next title defense be a triple threat with Styles and Cena.

They'll probably do that.  It's not a majour ppv after Summer Slam.  Though I can see Cena and Styles continuing their fight.  I don't see Styles long without his "club", so either Cena wins and Styles brings new members in from Japan.  Or there'll be shenanigans.

I think a Styles/Orton fued after Summerslam would be awesome!

Brand Split was amazing and both SmackDown and Raw have improved a lot. I love it! :)

Man, Styles vs Orton would tear the house down!!
I always thought the original brand extension from 2002-2008 was an amazing time for WWE, was disappointed that they ended it, but glad now that they brought it back. Though I wish they just stuck to one World title.

Yep, the Brand Split is amazing!
But I think it wouldn't work with only one World Title. After Summerslam the Brand exclusive PPV's will start to air and this would mean that the World Champ would have to defend his belt every 2 weeks (ergo there wouldn't be enough time to build up good fueds). And also if the World Champ can be seen on both shows the whole Brand Extension thing would make no sense. If we have a two World Titles for both brands it feels much more unique and WWE can also create more future main eventers for the future (remember during the first Brand Extension when people like Edge, Rey Mysterio or Cena came to the top?). But I also have to admit that WWE didn't book the introduction of the Universal Championship well. It kinda sounds superior to the WWE World Championship and why the heck did they drop the Heavyweight part in the name of the WWE World title? Makes no sense...

That's the biggest reason I love the Brand Split is that it gives a lot of the other guys and girls on the roster, who've been overlooked for a long time, a chance and time to shine and gives them an opportunity to get over and make something of themselves. 
I just don't like the idea of having 2 World titles because then there are essentially 2 "Top Guys" with 2 titles, rather than fighting for one title, I don't know, call me old fashioned, but I just think there should be one world title with whoever is holding it being the Man.
And they don't have to do a PPV every 2 weeks, they could have 1 PPV a month with 4-5 weeks of build up in between and have the Champion, whoever he is, flipping back and forth between RAW and SmackDown, to get into a program with each one of the top guys on each brand, which in my view, would keep things fresh, vibrant, add new faces to the big main event scene, as well as give them time to build up and hype the PPV.
Then they could treat the Intercontinental and U.S. titles as the official, yet unofficial, RAW and SmackDown titles, where the guys who are fighting for them are considered the main stars of the brands and well on their way to being big stars for the entire company, plus it would add a ton of prestige to both titles, (something they've sorely been missing these past few years). 
And I think they should do the same for the Tag Team titles and the Women's title as well. I mean what are superstars like Becky Lynch, Natalya, and Carmella supposed to do or fight over if the Women's title is on RAW? (Very happy that Sasha has it by the way, my favorite superstar on the roster! #LegitBoss)
Basically, I would have set it up so that, the IC and US titles and the main titles for their brands and whoever holds them are the top guys for their brands, and the WWE title is the main title for the entire company as a whole, and whoever holds it is The Guy. 
But that's just me.

I wouldn't want to see that.  Orton's work in the ring is still good, but Orton has become as entertaining as paint drying.  He doesn't care anymore.  He goes in, works his match, and goes home.  There's no more passion from him.



So I watch this match between Y2J and Enzo and I think:
"God the commentary team is AWFUL!"



Well I don't know about you guys. But based on the first few weeks of the new Brand Extension, I'd say SmackDown is headed in the right direction while RAW is still trying to get off its ass.
I may or may not be a little bit bias, but...
