5 realistic contenders to move to WWE SmackDown Live in the 2019 Superstar Shake-Up

#4 The Riott Squad

It is rare that WWE swaps a Superstar/team between Raw and SmackDown Live twice within the space of 12 months (The Miz and Kevin Owens are two recent examples). If they do so again in 2019, then The Riott Squad would probably benefit most from a return to SmackDown Live.

The villainous trio were an exciting addition to Raw in 2018. However, with no Women’s Tag Team titles around at the time, Liv Morgan & Sarah Logan’s multiple matches against Sasha Banks & Bayley became far too repetitive and they desperately needed fresh opponents to face throughout the year.

As for Ruby Riott, her credibility as a serious title challenger was severely damaged at Elimination Chamber when she was defeated in 100 seconds by Ronda Rousey. Like her fellow faction members, she needs a lot more Superstars to face if she is going to build momentum again.

In a nutshell, The Riott Squad’s time on Raw began well but they ended up losing far too often, especially in high-profile feuds. A switch to SmackDown Live would give them a platform to have another fresh start.
