That is the WWE's plan. They are going to only have the "Big 4" be combined events with both Raw and Smackdown. The rest of the shows will be Raw or SD specific. If you'll notice, even the announcers and wrestlers are referring to each show as separate PROMOTIONS, not just separate shows.
I agree, it sucks, and thats one of the reasons why I don't watch Raw at all anymore and I only watch SD occasionally. WM was the last PPV I ordered.
On the bright side I still have Ring of Honor
I'm going to the 9/20 show in Philly, which is looking to be awesome with the addition of CM Punk versus the debuting TERRY FUNK. Yes, the Funker is in ROH!!!
