WWE Brand Split Ending, First Raw vs. SmackDown Match Announced

It’s no big secret that WWE has had to make some major adjustments due to the coronavirus pandemic, and it’s also no big secret that ratings have been on the decline.

Now it looks like WWE will be allowing some crossover between Raw and SmackDown, as the brand split came to an end on Raw this week.

Current WWE Champion Drew McIntyre announced on Raw this week that he was challenged to face SmackDown Superstar Baron Corbin, and he revealed that he will be facing Corbin on next week’s show.

SmackDown Superstars Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross also hosted a special edition of A Moment of Bliss on Raw this week.

Prior to Raw Post Wrestling reported that an announcement allowing for some crossover between the brands was set to be made. The report noted that the idea is to keep crossovers minimal throughout the year.
