Alexa Bliss switched to Raw in April 2017

Sorry, WWE, but it was. The production of the Shake-up left a lot to be desired.

While the previous year’s brand split had live reactions from Superstars and its own show on the WWE Network, the post-WrestleMania shake-up had people showing up unannounced on a new brand with little-to-no interaction with the general managers.

Dean Ambrose and The Miz turned up on Raw to continue a feud that started on SmackDown, so it felt a little pointless, and Charlotte Flair’s move to the blue brand was blatantly obvious after Alexa Bliss moved to the red side the night before.

Alexa has since revealed in media interviews that the Superstars knew as much as the fans about the shake-up until, on the day of Raw, they were finally told if they were switching brands or not.
