Back in early July, the 2016 WWE Draft took place. It split the WWE roster into two, with superstars either assigned to Raw or SmackDown Live. Fans around the world hoped that the Brand Split would mark the dawn of a new era in WWE…..how wrong that would turn out to be.
It’s been around six months of the same old, same old from WWE. The same stars at the top, the same mistakes made in booking and angles, the same failure to use the talent at WWE’s disposal to the best of its abilities. All that, and more, has lead to some of the most predictable, and dare I say it, boring WWE tv in the last few years.
That’s not saying that there hasn’t been some good stuff happened since the Draft, it just seems that there has been a whole lot more bad than good. With a few small changes, WWE could have some of the most compelling wrestling television in the world. Right now that seems a long way off happening, though.
