The good news is that WWE are dropping the number of PPVs for 2018 down to 14 events. So instead of having a Raw and Smackdown PPV just 2 weeks part most months, they are scaling it back to 5 Raw, 4 Smackdown and 5 co-branded events. The new co-branded show? Money in the Bank.
Also, good news... the Great Balls PPV name is not listed for next year 🙂

Royal Rumble - January 28, 2018 - Philadelphia, PA
Eliminate Chamber - February 25, 2018 - Las Vegas, NV (Raw)
Fast Lane - March 11, 2018 - Columbus, OH (Smackdown)

Shane saying that Smackdown isn't the B Show. Ends up with less PPVs a year than Raw and co-branded. Looks like Smackdown is clearly the B Show to me, Shane.

It's a good move though. There was way too many PPVs this year, and some really rushed ones. Take the time to book a PPV and make fans care about what is happening on it, and we'll likely end up with a better product.

Money In The Bank makes me wonder whether they'll go back to having just two contracts. A Womens and a Mans one. It seems like they've struggled with what to do with 4 this year. 2 would be much more manageable. Also better than 4 MITB matches at the PPV. That would just be way too much.

Personally, I liked the PPV every 2 weeks thing. RAW had one, SD had one, and it continued. Since it was alternated, each brand had a PPV per month and I liked that. Not that I have a problem with this way either. MITB being co-branded is how it should always be.

And yeah, there's no way I see them doing more than just one MITB briefcase each. Although WWE never had 4 briefcases this year, Ninjak, not sure what you're talking about there lol.

I'm tired lol. So very tired. Don't know where I got that from either. Just don't do 4 briefcases for the joint PPV is all.

I think what Ninjak was implying was doing a cobranded MitB would require a raw man a smack man and a raw woman and smack woman.

Im behind more cobranded PPVs and I would really love to see the return of a King of The Ring that is cobranded.

Once a man would spend a week patiently waiting if he missed a stage coach, but now he rages if he misses the first section of a revolving door.

Next years MITB is in Chicago, may have to go to that event 2 years in a row.
