The @WrestleVotes Twitter account, which has broken some stories in the past, reported that all WWE pay-per-views will now be dual-branded starting with Backlash. It was added that the weekly television shows will not be affected.

Starting with the Backlash PPV May 6th, all PPVs going forward will be dual branded. No more RAW or Smackdown exclusive shows. Source states repetitive matchups to fill the card along with so-so ticket sales lead to the decision.

The weekly TV shows will not be effected.
