#1 Worst: Death of the brand split

The Wild Card Rule may be the worst thing to have happened to WWE in the recent era for the WWE locker room. Where there once were enough opportunities on both brands, now it seems like only a handful of performers get any screen time.

Instead of having Becky Lynch come over to SmackDown Live after losing the SmackDown Women's Championship, wouldn't it have made more sense to develop someone from the SmackDown Live roster as a challenger for Bayley? There are so many performers waiting in the wings, awaiting an opportunity.

Someone like Ember Moon could have used the screen time that Becky Lynch took up. Lynch can build her own feuds on the red brand instead, which is the whole point of the brand split, to be quite honest.

Having the two women's Champions team up and tease a feud also undermines the point of Survivor Series.
