5 surprises that could happen at WWE Superstar Shake-Up 2019

#4 Kofi Kingston stays on SmackDown, Big E and Xavier Woods move to Raw

Kofi Kingston after winning the WWE Title at WrestleMania 35

The New Day's member, Kofi Kingston, defeated WWE Champion, Daniel Bryan, at WrestleMania 35. The win was quite monumental as Kingston had been struggling for months to get a WWE Title shot, but each time he was swindled by Vince McMahon.

Now that Kingston is the top champion of SmackDown, he needs to work as a singles competitor going forward. WWE can implode The New Day, but the company will likely push Big E to the WWE Title picture and Xavier Woods will fade away as just another superstar.

The best thing WWE can do is shift Big E and Woods to Raw as the New Day and keep Kingston on SmackDown. This way, The New Day could continue working as a tag team on Raw while Kingston works as a singles star on SmackDown.

#3 Mid-card champions switch brands

Samoa Joe and Finn Bálor could switch brands

Finn Bálor won the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 35 by defeating Bobby Lashley, whereas, Samoa Joe retained his United States Championship by defeating Rey Mysterio at the show of shows.

In the past during Superstar Shake-Up 2017, both mid-card champions switched brands as Intercontinental Champion, Dean Ambrose, moved to Raw and United States Champion, Kevin Owens, moved to SmackDown.

Last year during Superstar Shake-Up 2018, both titles remained on the host brands, this year WWE can once again switch both titles to different brands. As then it would give fans some exciting rivalries and matches on both shows.
