I just hope they don't bring back the butterfly belt.

But I'm shockingly okay with 2 tag titles with the Club, Enzo and Cass, possibly Strowman and Rowan, Dudleys, and New Day on Raw, and AA, Usos, Breezango, and possibly Vaudevillains on SD. It makes sense.

They had a good tag scene filled with mostly teams I enjoy and now they've cut it in half and i'm mad.

it wasn't as good during 2006-2009 but between the taker/edge/batista year long feud and the punk/hardy feud it was still generally the better written show with it's main problem being "it's on friday nights and I'm gonna go out and do something instead." If the main writer of Smackdown stays Ryan Ward, the guy who wrote NXT during it's really tight booking period in 2014 and the first half of 2015 I can see this being a similar situation
SD from when Mauro started until around the draft talk began was really solid until they had to tread water till the draft

About half as good as it would be if they kept it together.

Like it makes sense in Kayfabe because the shows are competing and don't want to leave any one division solely to their competitor. But making the draft a kayfabe thing was a bad idea in the first place.

I think Dean, AJ, Cena, Orton and Bray is an incredible core to build a show around, and Smackdown is gonna be just fine if they can figure out this apparently giant imbalance in division titles.
