So in 2002 after the WWE bought out World Championship Wrestling (WcW) They realized something that crippled them greatly. Without WcW the WWE had no competition. Competition helps any business to strive, and do better than it would without any competition at all.
Obviously with monopolys on such things, like Wrestling, or any TV program. After a while, what you're putting out will get boring, and people will have no where else to go, except just quit watching wrestling alltogether. I remember my dad used to get bored of WcW, switch the channel to WWF, we'd watch that for a few weeks, then he'd get bored of WWF, and switch to WcW. He could bounce back between products once he got bored of one, or the other. Competition created the WWE cash.
Wal-mart has a monopoly on supermarkets. Obviously this ends up hurting them, because people can get cheaper items in certain stores else where. So what does Wal-mart do? They created Sam's club. To create competition between each store. Sam's club is more or less a VIP only type place. You have to show your Sam's club membership card once you go in, and its basically Wal-Mart, lower prices. But you make up for whatever lower prices are at Sam's club with your membership card. People fall for it, it creates competition.
What if, SmackDown just let it be known on Monday night that there was a war coming between the two. The two shows start to have competition between the two, ratings, merch sales, Pay-per view buys, etc were let known to the public. The flagship show is ended, the WWE mixes all their best wrestlers together, mid card, etc. They work 2 completely diffrent shows, SmackDown takes on a diffrent stage that way it doesn't make us feel like were watching the same show, diffrent wrestlers. The WWE employs two seperate creative writers, has two diffrent men running each show. SmackDown is litterally, warring with RAW, in a competitive stance. Instead of the A, B, C, D show we're seeing right now. I'm no expert, who knows if it'd actually work or not. But it certainly makes sense.
