#4. Many superstars will be on the fringes

The biggest issue fans had before the brand split was that there were only so many stars WWE could give the spotlight to. Many talented wrestlers were left without any direction or prominent storylines.

The brand split allowed multiple wrestlers to shine because there were more feuds in the limelight. That has been the case until the present day, but it's at risk of ending if WWE decides the title unification warrants the end of the brand split.

It will be a shame if talented superstars find themselves directionless and without real storylines. For that to not happen, the brand split must stay.


#3. One show might become irrelevant

If one recalls WWE’s product before the brand split, they'll remember it was all about RAW, pay-per-views, and nothing else. SmackDown was little more than a glorified house show, with next to nothing of note happening on the blue brand.

The brand split made SmackDown as relevant as RAW and kept it that way for years. Fast-forward to the present, and SmackDown is under the FOX umbrella and a bigger show than its red counterpart. Nevertheless, one must still watch both shows because both are significant in the narrative scheme of things.

However, if the brand split ends, WWE will make SmackDown the sole show worth watching due to their lucrative deal with FOX. The world champion will also reside in the blue camp, making RAW the pre-2016 SmackDown and an afterthought.
