Bengaluru, August 1: Vince McMahon launched a strange Wild Card Rule for WWE once Wrestlemania 35 was over. WWE officials were in full panic mode with the fall in TV ratings of Monday Night Raw and could not think of a better idea than to allow some superstars to cross brands regularly. But as we moved forward, this rule turned out to be stupid.
First of all, the Wild Card Rule was implemented, just one week after the Superstar Shakeup which made Raw and Smackdown acquire superstars to establish their separate rosters. This made a complete joke out of the situation as the distinction was demolished within just seven days. Plus, the rule stated only 4 superstars can make cross-brand appearances. But in reality, there were no such limitations as we witnessed a two-way flow of superstars from Raw to Smackdown and vice-versa on a random basis.
