Stephanie and Shane McMahon were both named commissioners of the RAW and Smackdown brands respectively this past week. Vince McMahon wants his children to COMPETE with one another to find out who the dominant brand is. Ric Flair on the second episode of his new podcast: The Ric Flair Show hosted by the MLW Radio Network spoke about a wide variety of topics. Two of these included what he thinks of Shane & Stephanie as commissioners and if the WWE is setting up Shane vs HHH for a match. Here were the highlights.
Ric was asked what he thinks about Shane McMahon and Stephanie McMahon running Smackdown and RAW. Ric is excited about the brand split but hopes the roster stays healthy:
“I think the draft is good. I can’t think of two better more qualified people to be running the shows. It’s just when you do the draft it is all about the depth chart and everyone being healthy. In terms of entertainment value, I think that’s great. I just hope that everybody stays healthy because if you start separating all the main players, it is important that the rosters stay healthy” (The Ric Flair Show).
Ric was asked if the WWE was setting up Shane vs HHH for Summerslam:
“You know what, I have heard that, I have never asked and I probably should and I probably will next time I see Hunter. To me it would be the natural, that would be the great thing” (The Ric Flair Show).

I think a Triple H vs Shane match would be great. I am not sure if they will do it at Summerslam or save it for WrestleMania once the brand split gains some steam.
