Yeah, NBC doesnt want to pay the money for both due to the cost and wwe knows they can get a lot more by seperating the two. I dont know much about just how good it would be for smackdown to go to Amazon or Facebook. I would think that overall it would lower the eye count in the long run to damage the blue brand and its roster. Smaller or lesser house shows equals a lot less pay. Now if you ended the brand split and went back to a bigger roster who knows. If it ends up on fox where they could feasibly gather a larger audience smackdown could go up to 3 hours and become a lot bigger deal and we may see a small brand reshuffle as fox would want bigger stars. Could definitely see fox pay for part of Lesnars paycheck to get him more dates much like spike did for sting.
