for RAW purposes, yes. They're concerned with declining ratings, especially with MNF returning. Plus, it makes more sense for the SD house show schedule (before, the SD crew was on the road Mondays usually not working).



WWE advertised the WWE Network for 2012. Interesting. Vince has wanted to do it forever.

The brand split end is gonna hurt a lot of guys. We're gonna see the same 12 people or so twice a week every week now. What's the point in even having 2 champions?

Was there ever really a good point to having 2 champions to begin with?

It means something if the brand split is real.

It means something if the brand split is real.

Maybe for their crappy SD-only PPVs, but their 2nd show is so clearly on their back-burner (see: Kane, Mark Henry, Khali, etc as champs/contenders), that it's basically a secondary title to begin with. Why not use it to elevate the US, IC, or tag titles, like Thunder/ealry SD days often did?

I'm almost positive they are giving it away on free TV, too.

Hogan will try and get his win back.

No seriously, he probably will despite probably beating Sting 4-5 mores times in WCW.

Following Saturday night's WWE Raw live event house show in Trenton, New Jersey, various WWE performers including CM Punk, John Cena, Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez were ushered back to the event's venue, the Sun National Bank Center, after gun shots were fired.

The gun shots were believed to have been fired in the parking lot. No information on anyone being injured has been disclosed.

Both Punk and Rodriguez acknowledged the situation on their respective Twitter accounts

[IamMedellin]

Gunshots were fired after a recent WWE house show. According to an eyewitness, "Cena won. We said what we'd do. Read the damn sign."

Beth Phoenix and Natalya have seemingly picked up Kong's storyline, but it doesn't work because they are coming off like hypocrites. They're complaining of divas not being able to wrestle and only being known for being pretty, yet they come out every week caked in makeup trying to fit into that same mold.

The smackers champ is more like the IC champ of old while the IC and US belts are like the TV Title and Cruiserweight titles of old.

Just a different restructuring with the expansion of several shows and a deeper roster.

This whole HHH/Nash soap opera has plummeted my interest level. Bravo WWE, you've done it YET again.

I'll admit the show wasn't that bad, but they've turned the Summer of Punk into the month of overbooked HHH/Nash crap with Punk as the accessory.

[SHOGUN]

Triple H had to make it about him....again.

[BigBiss]

Nothing better then the "does anyone else not realise how bad this is" Punk face
