5 reasons why WWE didn't have a second Superstar Shake-up in 2017

#5 Key storylines hadn’t finished

Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar were still feuding

In April 2017, it made sense to freshen up the rosters. Undertaker, Triple H, Brock Lesnar, Goldberg and John Cena all disappeared from TV following WrestleMania 33, therefore new stories needed to be told.

However, main-event storylines were still going on when the second shake-up of the year was reportedly due to take place.

Shinsuke Nakamura was due to have a rematch against Jinder Mahal; Braun Strowman had unfinished business with Lesnar; Dean Ambrose/Seth Rollins and The Bar were only just getting started, and John Cena and Roman Reigns were building to their first-ever meeting at No Mercy.

Who knows, perhaps we could still see some roster movement in 2017, but the rumoured timing of the shake-up-that-never-was just wasn’t right.
