The Superstar Shakeup has been taking place in the aftermath of WrestleMania for the past few years. Top superstars like Samoa Joe, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, The Miz, Dolph Ziggler, Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, Asuka, Natalya, the New Day, and the Bar have switched brands in the past. Other top superstars like Elias, Drew McIntyre, Andrade, and SAnitY have been called up from NXT in the past as a part of the Superstar Shakeup in the past as well.
Next week the Superstar Shakeup will take place once again. This is as usual a big part of WWE as it shapes up how the rest of the WWE year will take place and directly leads us to the next WrestleMania. This year, tag teams will likely be broken up, NXT superstars will be called up, and the champions can possibly switch brands.
Mandy Rose (from SmackDown Live to Raw)
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
Mandy Rose has been a breakout star on SmackDown Live. She and Sonya Deville are a top tag team in the division. However, Mandy Rose has been given much more opportunities than Sonya Deville. Both women deserve opportunities, therefore the best move is to separate them.
Trending
If one superstar were to go to Raw, it would preferably be Mandy Rose. Given the fact that SmackDown Live will likely become a more wrestling based show, it makes sense that the woman who relies more on character should move to Raw. She can have feuds with likes of Bayley, Sasha Banks, and Natalya, and can potentially challenge for the Raw Women's Championship (once the championships are presumably separated once again).
Naomi (from SmackDown Live to Raw)
Naomi has been a part of SmackDown Live since the 2016 draft and there really is not much left for her to do on SmackDown Live. Her time on SmackDown Live has been mixed as she has recently spent a lot of time on the sidelines.
With Monday Night Raw having an extra hour, she will have more of an opportunity to shine against the likes of Bayley, Sasha Banks, Ruby Riott, and Nia Jax. If Mandy Rose does indeed go to Raw, it would also be the perfect opportunity for Naomi to continue her feud with Mandy Rose, which was never really resolved.
Lacey Evans (from Unassigned Brand to Monday Night Raw)
Lacey Evans has recently been randomly appearing on Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live only to immediately leave. Now that she has started a feud with Becky Lynch, she can go to either Raw or SmackDown Live. She should arguably go to Raw given the fact that that is the more character-based show. She can shine against superstars like Bayley, Natalya, and Sasha Banks after eventually losing to Becky Lynch.
SAnitY (from SmackDown Live/Unassigned Brand to Monday Night Raw)
SAnitY should be united in all of its entirety on Monday Night Raw. Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe, Killian Dain, and Nikki Cross should all appear together on Monday Night Raw. Monday Night Raw's tag team division has arguably been floundering, and this stable should be added to help bolster it. SAnitY can have great matches against the likes of Bobby Roode & Chad Gable and AOP. Meanwhile, Nikki Cross can shine against women like Ruby Riott, Sasha Banks, and Bayley.
Carmella and R-Truth (from SmackDown Live to Monday Night Raw)
Carmella has been a part of SmackDown Live since she was called up from NXT back in the 2016 draft. She has accomplished everything that she could have accomplished as she won the WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal, won the inaugural Women's Money in the Bank match, is a former SmackDown Women's Champion, and won the Mixed Match Challenge alongside R-Truth.
R-Truth is also unlikely to accomplish any more on SmackDown Live so the two should go over to Raw. R-Truth can have good matches with superstars like Seth Rollins while Carmella can face off with women like Bayley (Baymella reunion?), Sasha Banks, and Nikki Cross.
The Usos (from SmackDown Live to Monday Night Raw)
The Usos have been the top team of SmackDown Live for the past few years. Now that they have lost the SmackDown Tag Team Titles to the Hardy Boys, it is time that they shake things up and move to Monday Night where they can help a tag team division that badly needs it.
If Naomi will be moving to Monday Night Raw, it is only fair that the Usos go there as well given the fact that Jimmy Uso and Naomi are married. The Usos can have great tag team matches with Bobby Roode & Chad Gable, AOP, and Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder.
Pete Dunne (from NXT UK to Raw)
After more than a 600-day title reign, Pete Dunne is no longer UK Champion. Now that he has lost the championship, it makes no sense for him to spend any more time in NXT UK. The UK brand has grown to the point that they do not need him anymore so Pete Dunne should definitely be headed to the main roster. He should go to Monday Night Raw where he can face off with the likes of Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns.
EC3 (from an Unassigned Brand to Monday Night Raw)
EC3 has arguably floundered since making his main roster debut. However, he has the chance to be a star in WWE and will likely be given more of a chance after the Superstar Shakeup. He should arguably go to Raw where there will be more time for him to deliver promos. This allows him to face superstars like Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns.
Ricochet (from Unassigned Brand to Monday Night Raw)
Ricochet has recently joined the main roster from NXT and has formed a tag team with Aleister Black. While this tag team has a lot of potential, they should arguably break up so that they can shine as singles stars. Ricochet would shine as a singles star on Raw as he can become the underdog of Raw with dream matches against the likes of Braun Strowman, Seth Rollins, Dolph Ziggler (if he comes back), and Roman Reigns.
Shelton Benjamin (from SmackDown Live to Monday Night Raw)
Shelton Benjamin has been severely underutilized since resigning with WWE. He has been sitting on the sidelines for months even though he is immensely talented. Therefore, he should go to Raw where he can be given more opportunities against superstars like Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns.
Sheamus (from SmackDown Live to Monday Night Raw)
The Bar has done everything that they could do as a tag team. Therefore, this tag team should be separated so that both men can shine as singles superstars. Sheamus should arguably go to Monday Night Raw so that Cesaro can become one of SmackDown Live's workhorses. Sheamus would work great as a veteran that puts superstars over.
Daniel Bryan & Rowan (from SmackDown Live to Monday Night Raw)
Now that Daniel Bryan has lost the WWE Championship, he does not have much to do on SmackDown Live. Therefore, he should move to Monday Night Raw alongside his manager, insurance policy, and tag team partner Rowan. Rowan has been reinvigorated alongside Daniel Bryan and both superstars could shine on Raw against superstars like Braun Strowman, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns.
Randy Orton (from SmackDown Live to Monday Night Raw)
Randy Orton has been a part of SmackDown Live since the 2016 Draft. However, he has become stale on that brand and should arguably move to Raw for a fresh start. He has accomplished everything that he could accomplish on SmackDown Live and should move on to Monday Night Raw. He can be a star and face off with superstars like Finn Balor and Seth Rollins.
Shinsuke Nakamura (from SmackDown Live to Monday Night Raw)
This duo of Shinsuke Nakamura and Rusev is already treading water and needs to be separated as soon as possible. The Superstar Shakeup is the best possible way to do so. Shinsuke Nakamura should make his Monday Night Raw debut by himself where he can have great matches against superstars like Braun Strowman, Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, and Roman Reigns.
Samoa Joe (from SmackDown Live to Monday Night Raw)
Samoa Joe is one of the most dominant champions in all of WWE and after his complete squash of Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania, looks like a star. WWE recently teased a feud between Samoa Joe & Braun Strowman that would require Braun Strowman to move to SmackDown Live. However, Samoa Joe can also move to Raw as the two champions switch brands. He can defend his championship against several top superstars like Braun Strowman & Roman Reigns.
AJ Styles (from SmackDown Live to Monday Night Raw)
SmackDown Live has truly been the house that AJ Styles built. However, it is time for a change in scenery for AJ Styles as he has done everything that he can do on SmackDown Live and should move to Raw. He can have rematches with superstars like Finn Balor and Roman Reigns. He can also have a great match with Braun Strowman and most importantly, we can finally see a dream match between AJ Styles and Seth Rollins.
