Earlier today a report broke by the Twitter handle @WrestleVotes, which has broken numerous stories in the past.
The tweet states that due to so-so ticket sales & repetitive matches on PPV, WWE will be merging their brands for PPV events moving forward after Backlash.
He went on to clarify that this will be the only change. The brands will still be separate.
Heres the original tweet:
Starting with the Backlash PPV May 6th, all PPVs going forward will be dual branded. No more RAW or Smackdown exclusive shows. Source states repetitive matchups to fill the card along with so-so ticket sales lead to the decision.
The weekly TV shows will not be effected.
