What if NXT is involved in the WWE Superstar Shake-Up this week?

The 35th edition of WrestleMania is in the history books and also the RAW and SmackDown episodes after WrestleMania 35 are in the books now. As always, WWE got a raucous crowd for the show but the creative team disappointed the audience by delivering an underwhelming show.

Surprisingly, there were no NXT call-ups on the fallout episodes of WrestleMania 35. Perhaps, WWE did this on purpose to stun us by announcing that the NXT brand will also be involved in the upcoming superstar shakeup. Otherwise, there was no reason why WWE moved superstars to other brand just a week before the WWE Superstar Shakeup.

Also, the popularity of WWE NXT has rose immensely in the past few years, so the McMahon family might want to establish the yellow brand as their third main wrestling brand.

In this article, we will have a look at the things that can transpire if the WWE Universe's favorite wrestling brand is involved in the Superstar Shakeup -

#4 Adam Cole could be Seth Rollins' next challenger for the Universal Championship

Adam Cole Bay Bay!

Adam Cole lost his two out three falls NXT Championship match against Johnny Gargano in the main event of WWE NXT TakeOver: New York. However, Cole received heaps of praises for his performance in the 38-minute match.

The leader of the Undisputed Era had made his main roster debut in the Royal Rumble match of 2018, where he was eliminated by Rey Mysterio. The chances that Adam shows up on the flagship show are very high as the RAW roster lacks a quality in-ring technician like him.

The best way WWE can let the former NXT North American champion announce himself on RAW is by having him answer the Universal Champion Seth Rollins' open challenge (only if the Bar do not attack to set up a tag team match).

#3 Paige brings the Sky Pirates to SmackDown Live

Paige made her return to WWE TV on the last episode of SmackDown Live!

On the SmackDown Live episode after WrestleMania 35, former Divas Champion and former SmackDown general manager, Paige made a surprise appearance backstage to reveal that she will bring a new duo along with her, to dethrone the current WWE Women's Tag Team hampions, the IIconics.

The WWE Universe is in speculation that the two superstars are none other than NXT's Io Shirai and Kairi Sane. So, Paige could bring these two female talents on the SmackDown Live show and who knows, WWE can let the Sky Pirates challenge the IIconics this Tuesday night itself.

While WWE should not book a title change for the show, they can just set up a pay-per-view match between the IIconics and the Sky Pirates (w/ Paige) and have a title change there.

#2 Asuka returns to the yellow brand

Remember, Asuka is still undefeated on the yellow brand

Back in mid-2018, the women's division of WWE's developmental territory was dominated by the Empress of Tomorrow, Asuka. Not only did the Japanese superstar defeat every female superstar on the roster, but she also had a tremendous run with the NXT Women's Championship.

Now, as mentioned ahead, if Kairi Sane and Io Sharai move to SmackDown Live, the NXT women's division will lack star power and there will be no credible challengers for the NXT Women's Champion, Shayna Baszler. So, WWE can have Asuka return to NXT and resume her undefeated streak once again.

Looking at how WWE booked Lacey Evans last week, a title feud between Becky Lynch and the Lady of WWE is set for the upcoming weeks. So, it would only be better if WWE utilizes Asuka to her maximum potential on NXT.

#1 Bobby Fish and Kyle O' Reilly win the RAW Tag Team Championships

Certainly, Vince McMahon will not allow the tag team title reign of Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins to extend over 8 days

Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins won the RAW Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania 35, thus ending Curt Hawkins' losing streak in the process. While that was a feel-good WrestleMania moment for the WWE Universe, it does not seem like the Creative team will allow these two undercard superstars to spearhead their flagship show's tag team division.

The RAW tag team division has been in shambles ever since the team of Braun Strowman and Nicholas won the titles at WrestleMania 34. Not even a single tag team has been able to carry the division on their shoulders and this might force the writers to call the team of Bobby Fish and Kyle O' Reilly on the main roster.

Bobby Fish and O' Reilly are one of the best tag teams on the planet right now and they can have a feud with the top guys, the Revival or even the team of Ricochet and Aleister Black, once they win the RAW Tag Team Titles.
