Dolfan in NYC Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Supposedly this is the updated 2016 PPV Schedule: Clash is back~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Just for the record - that is from reddit and not a single person has been able to confirm the list yet. Ticketmaster still lists the show labelled as Clash of Champions as Night of Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Also note Survivor Series is supposedly being bumped up to 4 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEN! Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 They should just rebrand SmackDown as WCW anyway. WWE and WCW are stronger brand names for touring than Raw and SmackDown. Besides everyone knows it's only a matter of time before SmackDown ends up as the redheaded stepchild anyway. Might as well just use the actual stepchild's name.

Niners Fan in CT Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 the one positive will be if one brand is trash you can watch the other and skip the rest of the programming. I remember people skipping RAW and watching SD! most weeks. I still watched RAW because Evolution was awesome but that's me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vgmastr Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 The Roadblock name makes no sense in December unless the Road to Wrestlemania is now going to start at Survivor Series. If only the Big 4 are going to be dual brand, which brand gets Money in the Bank? That almost has to be a dual brand show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Maybe move MitB back to Mania? Or SS if they don't want to occupy the biggest show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Lord Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I doubt that line is real. But if it is, I'm not one for ominous signs for the future but Smackdown's first PPV being on 9/11....eeesh. Also if the new 20 PPV/Special event idea a year holds true that means there will only be two weeks in between some shows. Do they wellness test writers? Those writers might also want to call up the WGA cause thats gonna be hell on earth with some of those back to back to back shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 They should rebrand both shows but they won't. "Smackdown" is a dated reference, named after the catchphrase of a guy who barely works for them. Shouldn't they be looking forward, not backward? And there's nothing "Raw" anymore about their canned, overproduced, overscripted Monday show. The show started as a food truck, now it's an Applebee's. Neither name fits anymore and they're so far past due to freshen things up it's ridiculous. They need change it up and get away from how homogeneous everything is. They've been using the same sets for eight years. Fuck. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyld Samurai Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I watched RAW 1000 last night again and agree with your thoughts on changing it up.... also, I miss CM Punk. But you cant change the name of RAW. Smackdown could use a new name... i want to say that brand has been tarnished to the point that nobody will care. And for the love of God... have different sets!

JonnyLaw Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 They won't change the name RAW because then it won't be the longest episodic programming whatever anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
