3 reasons why WWE's new 'Wild Card Rule' is a bad idea

#2 Lack of opportunities for the non-main event wrestlers

Kevin Owens won the WWE Universal Championship, owing to the reintroduction of "Brand Split"

The biggest downside for the apparent demise of the 'Brand Split' is the prospect of lack of opportunities for mid-card wrestlers going forward. It was due to the brand split that Kevin Owens went on to become the WWE Universal Champion. It was due to the brand split that Jinder Mahal went on to become the WWE Champion, against all odds.

The segregation of the roster into two halves provides an opportunity to build-up the main event stars of tomorrow. The WWE roster, at this time, is comprising of the best wrestlers in the world and is already stacked with talented wrestlers who have not been utilised to their fullest potentials.

'Wild Card Rule' presents the prospect for the WWE Universe to see their favourite main event stars on both the shows every week. However, it takes away the screen time for the ones who are still trying to build themselves up to the main event level.
