1. More Star-Studded Shows

The WWE has been built on star power for years, there’s no denying that.  Stars are a big reason of what drives fans to watch the product and give the WWE their hard-earned money.

And while the WWE can still use this method with brand-exclusive pay-per-views, it can be used to a more extreme extent when the pay-per-views feature both Raw and SmackDown superstars.  This will be the norm moving forward after WrestleMania 34 and should help out the pay-per-views.

Let’s be honest, it’s hard to sell a pay-per-view where the main event is Jinder Mahal vs. Randy Orton.  The WWE had that problem in months past, but now that problem is seemingly gone with the change of the pay-per-view format.  These superstars will still need to be used properly on the shows, but at least they will all be there.

The brand splits will still be intact, but the pay-per-views will see the best of both worlds now.  It should make every pay-per-view feel bigger and being able to see all of the biggest stars in one place is good, especially for pay-per-views which are big driving forces for fans to subscribe to the WWE Network.

Everybody wants to see stars, and from now on, the stars will be out in full force at pay-per-views following WrestleMania 34.
