With Johnny Ace making a play to also become the GM of Smackdown, does anyone else think this may finally be the official end to the Brand Extension?
Here's a few follow ups.
1. If it is the end of the Brand Extension, who would you rather see in charge of both brands? Johnny Ace or Teddy Long?
2. Which titles will get unified? or eliminated?
My personal opinions are that Teddy Long would be great as the top authority figure on both shows. And I think that all but the WWE & World titles will either get unified or dropped.

The 2012 draft is scheduled for the Detroit RAW show on April 23, although obviously that could change.

And I think that all but the WWE & World titles will either get unified or dropped. So that would mean the US & IC belts since the tag belts were unified a long time ago. I could definitely see that. They don't do much with those belts anyways so I wouldn't be opposed to that.

Sadly, no. IMO, it would be a great idea to have "one" company again, but like so much of what the WWE has done lately they will take the best idea and go with the opposite. Note to self (Too early to be this negative).

I'd like to see the top to belts unified into a 'world' champion, then have the US and IC belts turned into the 'Raw Champion' and the 'Smackdown' champion... those could be like the old TV titles, defended on every show. The title names have been silly for quite a while now.
I think that can work whether they end the brands or not.... maybe do it at Summer Slam... Punk -Bryan (still as champs) for the Unified title... winner has an easy program with Jericho (the 1st unified champ) before he goes back to whatever it is he does.

if they're going to continue on with mixing the shows, to me they should just drop two of the belts. It's also amazing to me that Teddy Long is still on tv. talk about a snoozfest. playa Lauranitis is too real for me. I really can imagine him as unbearable idiot boss. Or a school principal.

I dont see a reason to end the brand extension. The reason for the brand extension is to run 2 house show loops. And on the house shows having 2 title matches is a good thing as far as the stature of the product.
