As recently as this weekend, there have been some RAW stars appearing on the SmackDown Live house shows and vice-versa, however starting this Monday night there will be a little more separation and individuality between WWE’s two brands.

For the first time since the latest WWE brand extension, SmackDown Live will be presenting a non-televised live event directly opposite RAW on Monday night, as the blue brand will be running a house show in Texarkana, Arkansas at the Four States Entertainment Center while RAW is live at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.

As reported recently, John Cena won’t be working a full-time live event schedule. He is, however, scheduled to appear at many of the upcoming non-televised blue brand shows opposite RAW on Monday nights, including this coming Monday’s show.

Also scheduled to appear at the SmackDown Live show this Monday night are Dean Ambrose, Randy Orton, AJ Styles and Bray Wyatt. With all of the top talent booked for the SmackDown Live house show, RAW will no longer feature post-show inter-brand dark matches for the live crowd after the television broadcast, which had been a trend in recent weeks.

The new regular schedules for SmackDown Live house shows features the blue brand running Saturday, Sunday, Monday and their live TV on Tuesday nights. For the red brand, WWE has RAW shows on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and the live TV broadcast on Monday nights. Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns will appear in a dark match after this Tuesday’s SmackDown Live show, but after that, will only be working the RAW shows.

WWE had originally hoped that Randy Orton would be cleared to return to the ring in time for Backlash. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that if he would have been cleared, they likely never would have announced the news of his concussion.

While Orton has been in the mix on TV and downplaying his injury, he hasn’t done much physically since SummerSlam. Orton didn’t take much offense during his tag match at a house show on Monday where his partner, John cena, carried most of the match. Some sources say that Orton even taking the bump of an RKO could be hurtful to his brain while suffering from a concussion.

Kane ended up replacing Orton and defeating Bray Wyatt at Backlash. Kane was reportedly always the back-up plan if Orton didn’t get cleared.

During his appearance on Jim Ross’ “Ross Report” podcast this week, TNA Champion Bobby Lashley spoke about the possibility of competing against Brock Lesnar in either an MMA fight or a pro wrestling match in WWE.

Lashley pointed out that the decision isn’t his to make because he is in TNA and Bellator MMA, while Lesnar is with WWE and fights for the UFC when he does compete in MMA matches, but made it clear that such a match would interest him.

“You know, I hear that all the time, and J.R., you know as well as I do, it’s not in my hands. If you ask me, I would say absolutely, but it’s the powers that be. I think that there’s enough fans who would love to see it. They’ve been saying it from day one. And you know what the funny thing about it is? I’ve never met Brock in person. Never crossed paths with Brock anywhere. So we don’t even know each other at all, whatsoever.”

Additionally, Lashley spoke about the potential raucous crowd reaction that the WWE Universe would have if they saw the two accomplished amateur wrestlers and MMA fighters / pro wrestlers finally standing face-to-face for the first time-ever. He also pointed out the “tremendous amount of money” that the two could generate if they were to do a big match at a future WrestleMania pay-per-view.

“I’ve always been compared to Brock, and they say ‘Are you and Brock gonna fight? Are you and Brock gonna wrestle? I don’t know if the fighting is still an opportunity with me being in Bellator and him kind of being with the UFC; or I don’t know what the situation is right now. So I don’t know if the fight thing is possible, but to see me as Brock’s destroying everyone and save the day, or vice versa, whatever the case is, have us stand face to face? I think the crowd would go insane. And there’s a tremendous amount of money in it. If it were to happen, then I’m open for it.”
