#1 His move sells that anyone is fair game in moving during the Superstar Shake Up

WWE wants the fans to believe that anything can happen in the annual shake up, and this year, two huge names in AJ Styles and Roman Reigns switched shows

While the Shake up is always anticipated due to the new faces showing up in new places, we hardcore fans have learned (hopefully) to take a lot of these types of situations with a grain of salt.

Sure, wrestlers move from show to show, but if it isn't anyone huge or of much consequence, than what's the point in caring?

A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.

If someone like Curt Hawkins and Jinder Mahal simply switched shows like they did a couple years ago, that wouldn't be worth tuning in for.

When Naomi showed up on Raw last night, yeah, it's good that she's getting a fresh start on Raw, but it's not as big as if Flair, Asuka or even Lynch moved from one show to the next.

Even simply swapping mid-card champions wouldn't have been enough this year even if both Samoa Joe and Finn Balor are true main-event stars.

When the former two-time WWE Champion Styles showed up on Raw, it truly cemented that something big on SmackDown would be following his move to Raw.

Now that Reigns has officially been moved from being the face of Raw to being the face of SmackDown, even if the fans might still cheer for others (Kingston), it truly sits as something worth watching.

Hey, if the biggest star in the company can move from one show to the other, than anyone is fair game.
