Thoughts on the state of AEW now that we're into the Collision era? (kbin.social)

Just curious on what everyone's high-level thoughts are on how they're feeling on AEW's current path/decisions/roster/etc. now that we've had a taste on how they're going to go forward in this new situation of two 'primary' shows.

It's seeming like there won't be too much of a 'brand split' in the traditional sense, what with Acclaimed and Punk both being implied to be at Dynamite this Wednesday, so I'm curious as to how they handle things in that regard going forward, whether there will be relatively stable rosters for each that just tend to be on each show and some crossovers, or if it will be entirely freeball with the shows just filling up more haphazardly.

All things considered, personally I'm a fan of the structure that comes with a more hardline brand split, and how it forces shows to make more space for the lowercard just by necessity, so I was a bit sad to see it doesn't appear to be going that way, but I'm hopeful they can go an interesting direction with things under the current arrangement.

For now, I hope they tweak Collision's presentation a bit to make it feel different. Everyone takes it for granted now, but the fact that Raw is red and Smackdown is blue is a big deal. Kevin Kelly and Nigel McGuinness are a strong commentary booth, so that's at least one very distinguishing feature, but I'd appreciate a little more on the visual side.
