Vince McMahon introduced the ‘Wild Card Rule’ a few weeks ago. This rule allows 4 Superstars from RAW to appear on Smackdown every week (and vise-versa).
We have a rumor to pass your way about the ‘Wild Card Rule’. Specifically, what the backstage reaction has been to this new rule.
According to Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful’s Money in the Bank recap show, those backstage don’t appear to be a fan of this new rule.
Sapp says that all but one person who he has talked to in the company hates the new rule.
He adds that several of them mentioned that they wouldn’t hate it as much if it was only one person a show. Right now, they are just using it as a crutch.
My Take: I have to agree here. Limiting it to one person a show would be much better. Now, it just feels like the brand split doesn’t matter and any Superstar can just show up when they want to.
How do you feel about the rule? Let me know in the comment section below.
