Dual Branded PPV’s Return as WWE Makes Massive Announcement
WWE announced earlier today that every PPV following this year’s Wrestlemania 34 will be dual branded. Every event starting from Backlash will feature superstars from both Raw and Smackdown Live. They also released the remainder of the updated schedule for the rest of the year.

2018 WWE Pay-per-view schedule:
WrestleMania 34 – April 8, 2018
WWE Backlash – May 6, 2018
WWE Money in the Bank – June 17, 2018
WWE Extreme Rules – July 15, 2018
SummerSlam – Aug. 19, 2018
WWE Hell in a Cell – Sept. 16, 2018
WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs – Oct. 21, 2018
Survivor Series – Nov. 18, 2018
WWE Clash of Champions – Dec. 16, 2018
This also means WWE are returning to their 1 PPV a month schedule. While this is most probably a budget cutting move, this should help a lot in talent development as lesser exposure should increase the credibility of every main event talent.
