We are just days away from the Superstar Shakeup. Undoubtedly, it is one of the most important events of the WWE as the landscape of the company is decided.

The future of each superstar is revealed to a great extent as the show in which they would perform is resolved.

Sami Zayn and Jason Jordan were just a few of the names whose WWE career had been enhanced after changing brands. If these Superstars switch their brand, their status might skyrocket to the top.

#5 Bayley

After Wrestlemania, 2017 wasn't a great year for Bayley. She would lose the title quickly to Alexa Bliss and fail to compete at SummerSlam even after becoming the #1 Contender.

Last minute plans of WWE meant 'The Huggable One' was relieved of her singles Wrestlemania match against Sasha Banks.

She needs a resurgence in her character and change of brands will help her a lot. WWE has already hinted at her heel turn. If that is the case, then it is better she does it at the blue brand.

At Raw, she would be lost in the shuffle amongst Asuka, Nia Jax, Sasha Banks, Alexa Bliss, Ronda Rousey and Ember Moon. At SmackDown, she would be given enough time to showcase her in-ring talent and mic skills.

#4 Elias

Elias' main roster transition from NXT was nothing short of a success. No one imagined that his segments would be so enjoyable at Raw. However, it won't be long before we see him getting manhandled by stars in the upper card.

A change in brand is the need of the hour. The mid-card scene in the SmackDown is not that great at this moment. There is no one better than 'The Drifter' who could exploit the situation.

It will be fascinating to see how he feuds with Rusev, as both of them get huge pops despite being heels.

Moreover, a possible feud with Aiden English regarding their musical talents can add fuel to the fire. Can WWE capitalize on Elias' popularity? This Monday, everything will be answered.

#3 Finn Balor

Finn Balor staying on Raw is helping nobody

Finn Balor looked lost in 2017. Just when we thought he was going to have a push, he would be buried soon enough. WWE could have rectified their mistakes in Wrestlemania but they went for Rollins.

Nonetheless, they have another chance. Trade him to SmackDown and open the doors for dream matches.

Shinsuke Nakamura, AJ Styles, and Randy Orton are just a few of the names with whom the 'Demon King' can have 5-star matches.

He doesn't need to be in the mid-card to prove his worth. He can automatically be ascended to the 'WWE Championship' picture.

#2 Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson

Will they leave behind the leader of the Balor Club?

Is there a way Balor Club would be broken due to the Superstar Shakeup? No way! They haven't reached their full potential and it will be too early to dismantle them.

Their elimination from the first round makes it clear that the WWE creative are no longer interested in their Raw run.

Rather than descending them to jobber ranks, it would be better if they can swap their brand. With Gallows and Anderson completing the switch, it would house all four members of the Bullet Club under one roof.

If that is the case, AJ Styles and Finn Balor are bound to face one another. Which side would they turn up? Only time will tell.

#1 Daniel Bryan

It is only a matter of time when Daniel Bryan will switch to Raw

The last four slides concentrated on how Raw Superstars would benefit by making the switch. However, if anyone would benefit from a shift to the red brand, it would be Daniel Bryan.

Let's face it. Daniel Bryan's caliber and stature are above the entire SmackDown roster. Okay, maybe AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura take exceptions to it, but still it doesn't help the case.

A switch to the red brand will open a plethora of options. He could have 5-star matches with Samoa Joe, Seth Rollins, and the Miz before finally doing what Roman Reigns couldn't.

Yes, you guessed it right. Dethrone Brock Lesnar and regain the Universal Championship. This time, it's not a prediction but a spoiler!
