Just as the name of the first-ever WWE Bragging Rights pay-per-view suggests, the Superstars of SmackDown and Raw will meet in a massive tag team confrontation to determine brand supremacy. In the midst of this 14-Superstar melee, only one pinfall will be needed to decide the winning team.

The two WWE brands can each claim that they have plenty to brag about after each holding five stirring qualifying matches.

Joining co-captains Triple H & Shawn Michaels of DX are several of the Monday night brand’s most electrifying Superstars, including Unified Tag Team Champion Big Show, Mark Henry, Cody Rhodes, Jack Swagger and Kofi Kingston.

Team SmackDown co-captain, Unified Tag Team Champion Chris Jericho, must also be feeling confident, however – Kane declared himself co-captain with Jericho, and their original teammates lost in a five-on-four tag match to new members Matt Hardy, Finlay, R-Truth and The Hart Dynasty’s David Hart Smith & Tyson Kidd.

Unlike more traditional matches which are generally decided by each individual combatant’s strength and courage, the outcome of this unprecedented event will rely profoundly on which side can produce a more cohesive combination of team chemistry and tactics.

Many of the match’s participants will be forced to team with frequent foes, while others will be required to scuffle with existing allies. It’s extraordinarily rare, for instance, for co-holders of the Unified Tag Team Championship to be on opposing sides, while bitter rivals like DX and Rhodes to be united together.

Can each of the Superstars focus on the pride they have for their respective brands, or will they ultimately address their own personal vendettas? And will a match including this many combatants become unmanageable to officiate?

Offering the opportunity of a lifetime for The WWE Universe to watch their favorite members of Monday and Friday night’s rosters cross paths, this innovative multi-Superstar encounter is certain to make history in Pittsburgh's Mellon Arena. Now all that needs to be answered is which team that history will favor.

Be sure to catch this inaugural event on Oct. 25 at 8/5 PT, live and only on pay-per-view.

The thing that makes this great is it allows a lot of superstars who don't usually make PPV appearences to get one.

Or superstars you maybe thought made one before but will drop now their out of that storyline like Dolph Ziggler to have another PPV match.

When I saw Eric Escobar and Drew McIntyre would be in the PPV I was impressed.

As of right now the Smackdown side looks weak, but that's to be expected. It should all change once Smackdown win the match, I don't see it going any other way. It's a great way to elevate McIntyre, escobar, Cryme Tyme & Ziggler.

I'm looking forward to the match, but I think 7 wrestlers on each team is excessive and it's too close to Survivor Series for them to be putting on a match like this.

Smackdown needs to win this match. I'm not sure if they will though.

KenTheKiller · 10-17-2009, 11:35 AM

I'm so looking forward to this. The ideal finish would obviously be with Show screwing team RAW, or something I'd prefer but unlikely is he tries doing it leading to JeriShow and DX battling outside, Kofi/Dolph in the ring, Swagger coming in and screwing Kofi over. Leading to him saying he doesn't have RAW pride because RAW never had pride in him, what WWE title shots did he get, etc. Leading to an upper mid card elevating feud with Swagger and Kofi, the DX/JeriShow feud, and Dolph can say he got the win for Smackdown blah blah blah.

Oh fantasy booking..

The only fault I have with the SmackDown team or maybe it's two but one would be giving Eric Escobar a shot on the PPY this soon when his first match was against Matt Hardy and if you really wanted to have a Heel group on SmackDown would have been to have the Hart Dynasty go over Cryme Tyme. I still see Raw going over sadly quite easily with HHH and Michaels easily getting to Jericho or taking out a guy like McIntyre.

I haven't watched any WWE this week bar Raw cos I caught it while I wasn't busy, but if SmackDown wins I will be surprised. Even with Show on team Raw, and the opportunity to screw them out of the win being so obvious to everyone, I see WWE not taking advantage of it and having Jericho pinned by HHH for the Raw's victory. If I'm wrong I'll dance a happy jig mind. SD is infinitely better than Raw.

Anybody else mistake JTG for Hornswoggle in the picture though? I did.

smackdown team looks alot weeker than raws expecting them to win though but not cleanly

KenTheKiller · 10-19-2009, 03:51 PM

Yes it does suck that Smackdown seemingly has no chance, but I like young talent being pushed and shown that they matter.

Sir Nicky Talent · 10-19-2009, 03:54 PM

I would actually like for Matt Hardy and The Hart Dynasty to have won their matches. I'm really not impressed by Escobar. He's getting reactions because he has Vickie. And I don't know why they keep trying to establish Cryme Tyme
