WWE Brand To Brand Invitation Tracker

As of May 2020, WWE has instituted the "Brand-to-Brand invitation" rule, which allows wrestlers to appear on another brand "four times a year," implying it will go on longer than a year. However, details are few and far between as to what constitutes a Brand to Brand invitation.

On September 11, 2020's Smackdown, the rule was referenced as "once a quarter, a Raw or Smackdown wrestler or team can appear on the other brand." It can be assumed -- as if such a thing can really happen on WWE programming -- that only wrestling a match actually counts, and the act can appear on both shows during the build up.
