#1 Update about the Superstar Shake Up

Cena moved to Monday Night Raw this week

The Rumour: The long-rumoured Superstar Shake Up might not be happening after all. The call-up of Bobby Roode, John Cena moving to Monday Night Raw and the return of Shelton Benjamin might be the ‘shake-up’ that was rumoured, as per Cageside Seats.

The Potential: As WWE has already made three major changes to their roster, the Superstar Shake Up might not happen despite all the rumors. On the flip side, if that is the case, then we might see more NXT call-ups happening in the coming weeks as mentioned in the earlier slide.

The Fallout: A second superstar shake up would’ve changed the landscape of the WWE roster. But if it is not happening, the value of the next shake up goes up and it would end up being a bigger event.
