Conundrum Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Good. Never thought it made sense for only one brand to get it in the first place. Wouldve preferred they put it back at WrestleMania, but this will do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Counting Lights Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 I'm curious though, are we just getting the one briefcase with a crossbranded match, or two separate ladder matches again? Actually, since there will likely be another Womens MitB, I guess there's a pretty solid chance it'll be two crossbranded MitB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Looking at the PPV schedule there, looks like there won't be as many 2 PPVs a month as this past year or so. Which is also good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creepia Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 I liked it being SDL exclusive because *Censored* RAW, but this makes the most sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, since there will likely be another Womens MitB, I guess there's a pretty solid chance it'll be two crossbranded MitB's. I hope there's just one ladder match for the men and one for the women. 4 briefcases is overkill, imo. Looking at the PPV schedule there, looks like there won't be as many 2 PPVs a month as this past year or so. Which is also good news. Yeah, not surprising to me. I doubt a few less PPVs will affect the WWE Network numbers and it's a way to cut costs. I'm a bit surprised that both the PPVs before and after Summerslam are listed as Raw shows, though.

.Renegade. Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Why don't they just rotate like what they're doing with all the PPV's? Not a fan of have 1 more cross branded event outside of the big 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey D. Jiggy Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Because having a concept like MITB for one brand only is really dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil' Kazu Posted November 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Because having a concept like MITB for one brand only is really dumb. Eh, I disagree. I would've had no problem with MITB switching between brands every year. Just like they're doing with Elimination Chamber, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted... Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 I'd like to see Clash Of Champions as a somewhat cross-branded PPV. See all the belts defended that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God of Lightning Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Would've preferred MitB going back to Mania, but this is good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowley Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Because having a concept like MITB for one brand only is really dumb. I know it was still predictable, but I actually liked the excitement of the old MITBs that gave you option to cash in on either of the world champions. I know everyone always talks about "long term booking" and stuff, but I've always felt that WWE does better when they don't write themselves into a corner. I think they spread themselves too thin with all of these titles, trophies, and themed pay-per-views that they feel obligated to do. In my opinion, a lot of their best stuff comes when they're playing it by ear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certain types of matches being exclusive, okay, but holding the briefcase should not be imo. Takes away from the unpredictability and the general characteristics of the briefcase if you're limited to only one champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil' Kazu Posted November 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 That's the thing, with only one briefcase they could play up to the fact that the holder could cash in on either champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Carlton Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Id love it if they went with 1 mens and 1 womens match, crossbranded. But adding the rule that if you win the other brands title you move to that brand. Could be a way to shift a big name to another brand, while giving them a world title.
