New WWE Marketing Material and Action Figure Line Furthers Speculation Regarding the Return of the Brand Split

March 23, 2016

There has been ongoing speculation regarding a possible WWE brand split following WrestleMania 32, and the Wrestling Observer is reporting the WWE marketing department recently produced new USA Network graphics for RAW and Smackdown.

While the material might simply be promoting the shows and not necessarily a brand split, the Raw graphic features John Cena, Kevin Owens, Bray Wyatt, Alberto Del Rio, Charlotte and Nikki Bella as the top stars. The Smackdown promo features Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, The New Day, Dolph Ziggler and Paige as the top stars.

In further brand split speculation, The Hall of Very Good Twitter account recently pointed out the following observation, which is a photo of an upcoming new line of WWE action figures:
