10 Moves that can happen during the Superstar Shake-Up

Superstar Shake-Up is next week

Next week's Superstar Shake-Up could see a number of moves from RAW to SmackDown and vice-versa. Could a current Champion move? Which top star will move?

Let's break down the possibilities.


#10: Asuka to SmackDown

Asuka should move to SmackDown

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

Asuka lost to Charlotte at WrestleMania, ending her unbeaten streak. Now, it looks like another big change may be on the horizon for her with a move to SmackDown Live.

Asuka has been advertised for SmackDown Live Events after the shake-up and unless that is a mistake, it looks like Asuka could have her rematch with Charlotte on the blue brand.

#9: Bobby Roode to RAW

E
This would be 'glorious'

Despite winning the United States title, Bobby Roode's main-roster run hasn't gone the way some fans had hoped. Roode's heel character in NXT was so much more than the current bland babyface he's portraying on SmackDown.

Roode is a fantastic wrestler and needs some fresh feuds and change of scene. A move to RAW and possibly a heel turn could do wonders.

#8: The Revival to SmackDown

The Revival

The Revival proved why they are one of the best tag-teams in the world during their time in NXT. Their time on the main roster hasn't gone the way they'd hoped, mainly due to injury.

Since their recent return, The Revival have eaten more pins than doing anything of note and are in desperate need of a change. A move to SmackDown and their less packed Tag-Team division could give them some room to breathe and chance to show why they are one of the nastiest Tag-Teams around.

#7: Becky Lynch to RAW

Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch was the only one of the 'Four Horsewomen' on SmackDown after last year's Shake-Up. It's time for her to return to RAW.

With Asuka and another top female RAW star possible going to SmackDown (more on that later), it could be the right time for the 'Lass Kicker' to move to RAW. A move to RAW would also give Becky a whole range of fresh feuds.

#6: Gallows and Anderson to SmackDown

A move to SmackDown might benefit them

Another RAW Tag-Team who could move to the blue brand are the 'Good Brothers' - Gallows and Anderson. Since their move to the WWE, Gallows, and Anderson haven't really made their mark, despite winning the RAW Tag-Team Championships.

They're another team who could benefit from a move to SmackDown's less packed tag division.

#5: Dolph Ziggler to RAW

<p>
Ziggler desperate for new opponents

Dolph Ziggler feels a little stale right now. He's still one of the best wrestlers WWE has but he just needs a change.

Ziggler needs new opponents, seeing that he's faced most of the blue brands mid-card, and a move to RAW would provide that.

#4: Seth Rollins to SmackDown

A Champion to change brands?

One of the biggest moves that could happen at the Shake-Up is new WWE Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins moving to RAW.

Yes, Rollins will face Miz at Backlash, which could either be an opportunity for Rollins to move the IC title to SmackDown, If not, The Miz could win it back to have it back on RAW.

#3: Jinder Mahal to RAW

US title and IC title to change brands?

If Seth Rollins moves to SmackDown, we could see US Champion Jinder Mahal move in the opposite direction to RAW. If the IC title ends up on SmackDown after Backlash, it would only make sense to have Mahal, the US Champion, on RAW.

Jinder has come a long way as a performer since his return to WWE and feuds against the likes of Finn Balor, Elias, and Samoa Joe would be really interesting.

#2: Sasha Banks to SmackDown

Enter captio
Sasha Banks already said that she wants to move to SmackDown

Another RAW Superstar who could move to SmackDown's women's division is Sasha Banks. Sasha openly said she wanted to join SmackDown last year but, Charlotte moved to the blue brand instead.

Could it be Banks' turn this year? One of the reasons that it may not happen is the fact that Sasha is feuding with Bayley right now and they need to remain on the same brand to continue it...unless Bayley moves too.

#1: Daniel Bryan to RAW

This could be an amazing move!

I'd prefer Daniel Bryan to stay on SmackDown personally but, Bryan moving to RAW could realistically happen. Although Bryan brings much-needed star power to the blue brand, Bryan is still associated with being the SmackDown GM. A move to RAW could be a clean slate as a performer.

Apart from that, WWE prefers having some of their bigger stars and RAW and there are some incredible feuds Bryan could have on the red brand.
