  1. I'm sure it will be, as Raw has always been the show more focused on promos and entertainment aside from a few months in 2004 post WM (when Smackdown was doing stuff like having Jackie and Chavo Classic as cruiserweight champ and Raw had Benoit as champ, was putting on great main events, and having the likes of Shelton and Tajiri in main events... the complete opposite of what both brands were doing in 2002-2003 when Smackdown had the Smackdown Six and the Angle/Lesnar feud and Raw had Katie Vick, HHH's title reign, Test/Steiner, etc.). This will give more guys opportunities, though a world title for each show should definitely happen as one title for both brands would mean that one show wouldn't have a title feud (and one champ would mean that moments like Benoit and Eddie celebrating at WM 20 and Cena and Batista both winning their first world title at WM 21 wouldn't happen, and each brand having their own title gave veterans like Christian, Mark Henry, and JBL the chance to be world champions), and having single brand PPVs would result in people like Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel getting PPV matches, as this happened on a regular basis on the 2003-2007 single brand PPVs (which featured matches like Bobby Lashley vs. Simon Dean and Shelton Benjamin vs. Viscera). The in-ring product shouldn't be too effected, as there aren't nearly as many bad workers today as there were during the previous brand split (AJ, Cena, Orton, Rollins, Ambrose, Cesaro, Owens, Zayn, Harper, Ziggler, Rusev, ADR, Sheamus, etc. will all be heavily involved with their brands... the last one had the likes of Benoit, Eddie, Rey, Angle, Lesnar, HBK, Jericho, Regal, etc., though the likes of Heidenreich, Snitsky, Tomko, Kenzo, Masters, Rosey, Luther Reigns, Jindrak, Nathan Jones, Maven, Sylvain Grenier, Rodney Mack, Orlando Jordan, the Heart Throbs, Boogeyman, etc. were all pushed at some point, due to their look or gimmick. The Wellness Policy has stopped a lot of that), though like I said, Raw will likely be more focused on promos.
  2. What was worse is that Hogan got the belt back on the Nitro after Spring Stampede (Savage's first of two one day title reigns and losses to Hogan), while Sting was part of the NWO Wolfpac. Hogan should have been taken off TV for a while after the clean loss to Sting before returning as Hulk Hogan again, similar to Slaughter losing at Summerslam 1991 and a few months later "wanting his country back".
