I know this board doesn't really do a lot of wrestling talk anymore, but the upcoming brand split had me intrigued by how they would actually divide the current roster. After looking at WWE.com's current roster listing, I removed all announcers/commentators/authority figures (and Tyson Kidd) then split them up in a way that I thought could make both shows kind of unique while still balanced. I figured your World/Women's/Tag champs can jump shows, with World always having some presence on both and the Women's and Tag alternating which show the focused on (I.E. if Women's title is feuding on Raw for that month have the Tag titles focused on Smackdown). Here is the split I came up with


WORLD CHAMP: ROMAN REIGNS
WOMENS CHAMP: CHARLOTTE
TAG CHAMPS: BIG E, KOFI KINGSTON, XAIVER WOODS

What do you guys think? Anything you like or dislike? What might you do different. I'm curious to hear your opinions.

I could see Orton whining about "being on the b-show."

They need to attempt to make both shows important
