Alright we've had a couple ppvs from both Smackdown and Raw. So what are some of the things you like and dislike about it?

I like that more people are being given time on TV to shine. But I don't like how small the roster still feels.

I like the return of feuds for the mid card titles mean something again. the Ziggler feuds with Mix really put the spotlight on the IC title. Roman and Rusev for the US title has gotten good attention too.

Overall, the brand split is meh. It'll get better once both rosters are more established. For me the person who has benefiting the most from it is the Miz. His character is a lot better now than before.

I like that SmackDown is a better show than RAW again. Entertaining stories, everyone gets an opportunity and the show feels like it was written with a bunch of people working together unlike RAW which just feels like 15 seperate segments with little to no connection.

I dislike how much RAW is shoving down our throats how progressive they are (LOOK AT HOW MUCH STUFF OUR WOMEN DO).

Good
Love the two current main champions. Both deserve it, but you'd find it hard to believe that they'd have gotten this chance if there was just the one title. Maybe one of them might, but not both. So it gives the opportunities to guys to get what they deserve on what was a packed roster before.

Bad
Although it was a packed roster, it wasn't exactly huge and I still don't think it was enough for a brand split, as they should have built more people up to main event level before hand. Both sides feel weak in the main event scene, but at least that's something they can address if they get the booking right.

Good
The women seem to be getting booked better than before. Don't mind it when they're good wrestlers and Charlotte has really been outstanding.

Bad
It's really highlighted how weak the womens division is. You have a few who are very good, but there's more that aren't good or ready yet, and it's really noticeable as the two divisions are so small now. So whilst they're getting showcased as they should be, it's also hurting them by showing the weaknesses of the women divisions as a whole. They need to get signing some more women wrestlers if they don't want things to get boring.
