Backstage News On WWE Possibly Ending The Brand Split

Raw and SmackDown Live both currently air on the USA Network, but big changes will be coming for the blue brand in 2019.

SmackDown Live is set to move to FOX in October of next year, and the big money deal that WWE signed with the network will see the show air on Friday nights.

There’s been speculation that WWE may end the brand split so that all the top stars would be able to appear on one brand, but according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that’s not happening.

It’s being said that FOX doesn’t want to cross promote the same talent as NBC Universal, and the expectation is that WWE will be using split crews. However, anything can happen between now and October.

The separate production teams for Raw and SmackDown Live will also be doing more house shows for the WWE Network.
