Is Daniel Bryan right?
Smackdown general manager Daniel Bryan appeared on the Bear Hug It Out wrestling podcast and discussed about why WWE stars don’t like the brand split.
“Some of [the WWE stars] don’t like [the brand split] because everyday that you’re on the road and not working, you don’t get paid. So you’re spending money and not getting paid. So it just becomes like, ‘okay, so now I’m making less money, but spending the same amount of being on the road and that sort of thing’. But pretty soon, we’re going to start doing Smackdown live events on Monday nights, the same night as Raw, so then that’s going to even out a bit. And I think that extra day on the road at home makes a huge difference. I mean, there’s a huge difference between leaving on Friday and coming home on Wednesday and leaving on Saturday and coming home on Wednesday or leaving on Friday and coming home on Tuesday. So I think it’s going to be better for the health of everybody.”
WWE should make Superstars and Main Event brand exclusive so the lower level stars can get paid for doing some work even if it’s a squash match.
