-- John Cena is expected back on WWE TV for only a couple of shows, perhaps one or two Raw and Smackdown shows, before he is back filming for another movie beginning January 20. The film shooting also means that Cena will miss the 2019 Royal Rumble, which will once again mean he has no direct path to WrestleMania 35.
-- On the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, a discussion took place on the possibility of WWE unifying the major titles and having all the champions free to appear on both Raw and Smackdown. This would not only make the titles mean more, but it would also allow the company to continue forward with the brand split.
-- Dave Meltzer indicated that it is unlikely WWE will unify the titles because it would mess up the house show tours, specifically which tour the champs would be competing on. So while the current titles are expected to be specific to whatever brand they are on, the upcoming situation with the women's tag team titles is unclear as the company has not indicated their plans for the championship apart from them being launched in 2019.
