An interesting stat here. When comparing Team RAW and Team SmackDown! from last year’s Bragging Rights PPV based on the 13 names confirmed so far, the number of those who were on their team last year is zero. The only way that number changes to one is if Mark Henry ends up on Team Raw as previously scheduled.
Of the 14 members on the teams last year, seven switched brands, four are again in the match this year on different teams, two have left the company (Chris Jericho, Shawn Michaels), one has unofficially retired (Finlay), one is injured (Triple H), one has been released (Matt Hardy) and one remains on the same brand (Kane), but isn’t in the match.
Teams last year for RAW was DX (Triple H and Shawn Michaels), Big Show, Cody Rhodes, Jack Swagger, Kofi Kingston and Mark Henry vs. SmackDown!’s Chris Jericho, Kane, R-Truth, Matt Hardy, Finlay, and The Hart Dynasty.
