WWE Brand Split 2016.
Dave Meltzer clarified some things on the recent edition of the Wrestling Observer Radio regarding the recent announcement of the WWE Brand Split. Here were some highlights:
- Vince McMahon is really excited about this idea. He is really on board to sign a bunch of new talent from other promotions in order to fill the rosters of both RAW and Smackdown. This means we could be seeing a lot of signings over the next couple months.
- Thinks that John Cena and Roman Reigns will be on separate brands.
- Right now talks are indicating that there will be TWO World titles. He mentions that things can change but they want a title to headline each brand separately.
- The Women are set to be exclusively on one show.
It should be noted that this should be taken with a grain of salt because things CHANGE. These are just what is initially being planned/ talked about backstage. Vince is known to change his mind but certainly a fun starting point to begin our speculation.

I am excited for all the possible signings and new talent!
I don’t mind the Two World Champions part. It would be a bit silly if the WWE Heavyweight Champion had to work feuds on both RAW and Smackdown. I think it makes it easier to have two titles and two different title holders.
The WWE Women’s division isn’t too deep so I guess it makes sense to have them on the same show. I don’t think it would make sense for the WWE to create two Women’s championships for each show so we will have to wait and see.
Let us know what you think about this information. We want to hear your opinion on the WWE Brand Split 2016 and where you want it to go!
I like the 2 titles idea.
