WWE Top five rumors of the week and Analysis: April 10th, 2017

Lesnar to take time off

#2 Super Star shake-up rumours

Rollins to SmackDown?

The rumour: The internet was buzzing about Superstar shake-up throughout this past week. Sources such as Pro Wrestling Sheet, Wrestling Observer, and Cage Side Seats hosted some interesting rumours as well. Most of them suggested that Seth Rollins, AJ Styles, Alexa Bliss and Charlotte could be moved away from their current brands.

The potential: All four names involved in the rumour are capable of making headlines during the Superstar shake-up.

Seth Rollins wrapped up his feud with Triple H at WrestleMania and with Brock Lesnar away for some time; Rollins does not have much to do on Raw. Furthermore, his star power would greatly benifit SmackDown.

AJ Styles is in a similar situation as well. Shinsuke Nakamura is the only big opponent for AJ at SmackDown, whereas he has several options on Raw. AJ could reunite with Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows and make Monday Nights entertaining again. The history between AJ Styles and Kurt Angle is something that WWE could explore as well.

It is not certain how many of these moves might materialise but that’s the beauty of such segments.

The Fallout: The Superstar shake-up is bound to be a fresh start for the WWE Universe. The current brand split is still in its infancy and the way the Superstar shakeup plays out will help it to evolve into the next stage.
