The International Superstar Shake-up starts this Monday night and continues the next night on SmackDown Live. Who could leave SmackDown to join the red brand and what twists could WWE have in store for us on RAW?

Without wasting any more time, let's get right into it.


#5 AJ Styles leaves the House that he built

SmackDown Live is known amongst fans as the 'House that AJ Styles built', and rightfully so. Since the start of this current brand split, Styles has been the top guy on SmackDown and during his multiple title reigns, has been one the Superstars who have carried the brand on his back.

However, it now looks like Styles has beaten and faced all the top names on SmackDown. Styles moving to RAW would definitely come as a massive shock to the WWE Universe but it would be the right decision. Styles has a ton of fresh matches waiting for him on Monday nights.


#4 Samoa Joe moves to RAW

Another surprising move that could happen at this year's Shake-Up is the WWE United States Championship heading to RAW while the Intercontinental Championship would go to the blue brand.

This would obviously start with Samoa Joe moving to WWE's flagship show this Monday. Joe has done a great job on the blue brand and the Sampan Submission Machine beat Rey Mysterio in under a couple of minutes at WrestleMania. Joe looks to be in the shape of his life and is one of the top genuine heels on the roster. We've seen Joe take on most of the big names on SmackDown and it now feels like a great time for a surprise move to RAW.

#3 New tag-team champions

The International Superstar Shake-Up starts on RAW and there is a good chance that The Undisputed Era will get called up. If that does happen, WWE could give them a push from the get-go with Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly getting a shot at the RAW Tag-Team Champions - Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder - for their titles.

Hawkins and Ryder may have just won the titles at WrestleMania last Sunday but it WWE could still choose to crown new champions on Monday Night RAW.


#2 Dean Ambrose isn't done just yet

We thought that Dean Ambrose is done with WWE after WrestleMania with his last match taking place last week on RAW where he got destroyed by Bobby Lashley. However, we now know that Ambrose's contract is actually up on April 30th and he could definitely be on RAW despite the farewell last week.

#1 Sasha Banks turns heel

It's been a tumultuous week for Sasha Banks if rumors are to be believed. Reports surfaced after WrestleMania that Sasha Banks was not happy at WWE's decision to take the belts off her and Bayley after everything they'd done to bring in the belts. According to reports, Banks was so upset backstage that other WWE Superstars tried to calm her down one picked up a blow to the face in the process.

We don't really know how valid any of the reports are at this point but there was even talk that Banks was ready to ask for her release from WWE which seems unlikely.

This week's episode of RAW could be the perfect chance for WWE use the rumors to their benefit and have Sasha Banks turn heel. This could be the return of The Boss character we know and love.
