#1 The Wild-Card rule

The announcement of the Wild-Card rule was a Vince McMahon panic mode special that we all got to witness. If you are unaware of what that is, each week 3-4 superstars from RAW and SmackDown will be allowed to appear on the other brand.

While many are of thoughts that this was introduced to let top stars like Roman Reigns, Kofi Kingston, Becky Lynch, etc appear on both shows and improve the ratings, this rule is slowly and steadily killing the purpose of a brand split. If you are a new viewer, you might not even realize that the two brands have separate rosters.

With many top superstars appearing on RAW and SmackDown each week, it takes away the opportunity to showcase a talent that is in need of some TV time to stay relevant. While it's fine for these superstars to appear on the other brand occasionally to take care of some important issues, but we are even witnessing superstars like Apollo appear on RAW as a jobber.

With each passing week, this rule is taking over the programming more and more, so much so that last week we saw as many as 6 superstars appear on RAW from SmackDown, which is a clear violation of the rules that Vince himself laid out.
