The International Superstar Shake-Up starts tonight on RAW and will continue tomorrow night on WWE SmackDown Live. The Shake-Up could see big shifts on the landscapes of RAW and SmackDown with big names moving to either side. Then there is also the question of where the NXT stars called up will go.

In this article, let's focus on some established main-roster Superstars and take a look at who should move to RAW and who should move the other way.

5 Twists for WWE RAW: Dean Ambrose shocks WWE, Sasha Banks gets a character change

#3 Move to RAW: The Usos

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

RAW's tag-team division is not even an afterthought right now, it's just a downright weak division. You could argue, and probably successfully so, that NXT's tag-team division is stronger than RAW's right now.

What can WWE do to rectify this? The obvious first step would be to bring The Usos, who are in my opinion the best tag-team in the world right now, to RAW. The 8-time tag champions have more pedigree than most of the RAW tag division put together and could be the team RAW builds the tag division around.

#3 Move to SmackDown: The Revival

We all know about The Revival's qualms with WWE by now. For one, the duo hasn't been given a chance to shine on the main roster, partly because of untimely injuries after their main roster debut. However, we also know that The Revival is not happy with how WWE treats tag-team wrestling and how less time tag wrestling gets on television.

We all know by know that tag-team wrestling is better represented on SmackDown Live than on WWE's flagship show. After all, it was the SmackDown tag titles that made it to the main card of WrestleMania. If The Usos do move to RAW as I previously mentioned, The Revival is the ideal choice to replace them on the blue brand.

#2 Move to RAW: Asuka

Asuka hasn't been used very well by WWE in the last year. One of the most dominant champions in NXT history has been relegated to just another Superstar on the blue brand and the way she lost the title before WrestleMania confirmed it. Asuka wasn't on the main card of WrestleMania and was unceremoniously dumped out of the WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal by Sarah Logan.

Asuka needs a new beginning and the best option for it is a fresh start on RAW.


#2 Move to SmackDown: Sasha Banks

I don't how true all the reports of Sasha Banks causing a scene backstage at WrestleMania are. However, Banks needs to go back to being a singles star and with all the speculation surrounding her, it seems like the perfect time to turn Banks heel and bring back The Boss.

The first step in this should be to separate Banks from Bayley and draft her to the blue brand.

#1 Move to RAW: AJ Styles

AJ Styles has been one of the stalwarts of the blue brand since the brand split and although some fans may be trepidatious of him moving to WWE RAW, it's the right time to do it. Styles has faced almost every top guy on the SmackDown brand and he now needs to move to RAW where a whole host of new feuds await him.


#1 Move to SmackDown: Roman Reigns

A new start for Roman Reigns?

If Seth Rollins wasn't the WWE Universal Champion, there would have been far greater chances of 'The Architect' to move to the blue brand. However, with Rollins as the top guy on RAW, it's Roman Reigns who should now be moved to SmackDown.

Not only will it create a bunch of fresh match-ups for Reigns, but WWE also needs some top names on the blue brand before the show moves to FOX later this year.
