On Monday, WrestleVotes reported there had been talk within WWE that RAW was considered a big show as Roman Reigns would appear and it could impact the brand split rules.
Reigns, who is the biggest full-time star that they have, was believed to give RAW a higher rating than usual.
Some chatter I heard over the weekend included how important tonight’s RAW number is. Draft plans aside, w/ their biggest full time star in Roman Reigns being advertised to work tonight’s RAW, a bigger # than normal would open the box to showcasing main superstars on both brands.

Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that top stars appearing on both brands is not a long-term strategy or a short-term strategy.
It was said “this wasn’t something they were planning on regularly doing.”
