Superstar Shakeup 2018: Analysing The Good and The Bad of it

Good: More star power to SmackDown Live

The Destroyer just upped the ante on the blue brand

Even since its inception, SmackDown has always been known as the B show. WWE themselves have treated it so, with Raw being promoted to the premier show of the two.

For instance, before the latest brand split, SmackDown didn't even have its own roster and was taped previously and aired on Tuesdays, not aired live.

Before the shakeup, SmackDown boasted of little star power as compared to Raw, with AJ Styles, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and Shinsuke Nakamura being the centre of most feuds.

However now, we have the likes of Jeff Hardy, Joe, The Miz, in addition to Styles, Nakamura, Bryan and the rest staying back.

SmackDown gained some much-needed star power and hopefully will once again reach the heights it once enjoyed during the glory days of the Ruthless Aggression Era.
