With SmackDown's move to Fox in the fall, it might turn what has been considered the 'B Show' (although it has been better than Raw a lot since the brand split) into the 'A Show'.

Fox is one of the major networks on television and getting a deal with one of the top networks was huge for the WWE.

Often only considered a secondary sporting event, the WWE has grown by leaps and bounds over the last decade.

If mainstream people don't believe it, all of the crossover stars that have shown up recently (Rousey, Rob Gronkowski, Matt Riddle) only prove that pro wrestling is a viable form of entertainment and sport.

Since SmackDown might become the flagship due to it being on a bigger network than USA and Raw, don't be surprised if this year's Superstar Shake Up sees the most big names switch brands.

Seth Rollins will hopefully win the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 35 and is the face of the company.

WWE will want to put some of the bigger stars on the show as well as stars who's characters are more about top-notch wrestling rather than soap operatic storylines.

Ronda Rousey will likely join SmackDown since she already practically conquered Raw in her first year. And not to mention that Fox wants the show to be more athletically focused on the sport.

So it's not conceivable that stars like Rollins, Rousey, Sasha Banks, Finn Balor and Bobby Lashley all are among the Raw stars to be switched over to the blue brand.
