Another Potential *Spoiler* on WWE Announcement Regarding Raw & Smackdown


-- John Pollock of postwrestling.com is reporting that WWE is set to make a significant announcement on tonight's Raw that will impact both of their flagship shows. The report notes that the company is going to take a softer stance on their brand split allowing for some crossover between the two shows. The "ruling" is expected to be introduced tonight and is similar to the wild card rule that WWE used last year but in this iteration, they are looking to keep the movement to a minimum. A possible reason for this is that it was at the request of both FOX and NBCU, who are struggling with downward trending ratings for both Raw and Smackdown.
