WWE 2016 Brand Split.
The WWE universe was shocked when we found out that Smackdown would be going live and we would be getting a 2016 brand split. Most fans were excited about the change happening and are looking forward to the future possibilities. With news of the 2016 brand split, this means we will be getting a draft to split talent evenly between both RAW and Smackdown. Who will headline each brand??

According to Dave Meltzer on the recent edition of the Wrestling Observer Radio (subscription required but recommended), the WWE already has in mind who they want as the headliners for each specific brand. According to Dave, Roman Reigns will likely be on RAW and John Cena will be on Smackdown. This is just an initial report and it is important to remember that Vince changes his mind a lot when it comes to things like this.
I actually think it makes sense though. Keep them on separate brands and let them do their thing. The only thing I would have a problem with is if they made both brands Reigns and Cena oriented shows. The WWE has so much talent that I think it would really piss people off if they went this direction. Make sure to give all talent a shot to shine with Cena/Reigns and against others in the main event!
I am looking forward to the WWE Draft and what comes next.
