The positives and negatives of co-branded PPVs

#2 Negative: Spotlight Issue

EVERYONE needs to shine

Sometimes, there's just too much of a good thing. Other times, Superstars aren't being given the best opportunities for their career trajectory. In this entry, we're discussing the latter. While the Raw and SmackDown Live exclusive shows didn't exactly always blow everyone away, what they did do was provide lower-level superstars with a platform to elevate themselves.

Stories that otherwise would've been forgotten were given an opportunity to shine, and now, it feels like only a handful of snippets from both shows are going to be included. That may be an exaggeration, but it was one of the main benefits stemming from the brand split in the first place.

Sure, things were thinned out sometimes, but there's nothing wrong with shortening the shows every once in a while.
