F4WOnline.com reports that WWE will view the restrictions set by the brand extension as “soft” as the build to WWE WrestleMania 27 begins.
By no means does that mean every RAW and SmackDown! will be an inter-brand show, but it does mean creative has been told it can use wrestlers in cross promotional feuds. That means that SmackDown! wrestlers will be available for tonight’s live RAW telecast, while some of RAW’s talent will make the trip for Tuesday’s live episode of WWE SmackDown!
Although reports indicate WWE has a general booking platform that takes its key talent through February, most WrestleMania plans have not been finalized, largely due to the Undertaker’s uncertain status and the ongoing process of securing a top celebrity/crossover performer.
