The fallout of the 2018 Superstar Shakeup

Samoe Joe Superstar Shakeup
SmackDown is widely thought to have done better than Raw, but how do each show's divisions stack up?

Raw Mid-Card Division

Like its tag team counterpart, Raw's Mid-Card division is in a confusing place, but one which isn't as bad. The Intercontinental Championship picture is wide open with the departure of The Miz and it remains to be seen who steps up to challenge Seth Rollins after the Greatest Royal Rumble/Backlash arc.

The acquisition of the likes of Jinder Mahal, Baron Corbin, and a babyface Bobby Roode, among others, don't immediately scream "excitement," and don't begin to compensate for the loss of Jeff Hardy and The Miz.

Thankfully, Raw's mid-card still has Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, and Elias, and when he returns from injury, Dean Ambrose. Raw's pick-ups weren't too inspiring, but there's ample room for them to develop by interacting with the stalwarts and giving us something new.
