At this point, it would not surprise me if they had a different show on every day of the week.

Honestly with NXT, NXT in UK, 205 and aren’t they trying to break into Japan, their plan seems to be have so many shows you’re too sick of wrestling to watch our competition.

I'll say because of WWE having way too many shows, including their reality shows, that it is actually driving people away from WWE and towards their "competition" like IMPACT, RoH, NJPW, etc.

I read several articles saying he is moving to RAW, so either they are wrong, or I am just dumb.

No, you're right, Samoa Joe did get moved over to Raw. Like, every news source is saying it. He didn't make an appearance because of the flu but he was supposed to confront Braun Strowman.

But in storyline, he's still on Smackdown. Reality just hasn't caught up yet, I guess.

EDIT: I didn't realize we move on, sorry XD

Well I didn't say it was a GOOD plan

I am not taking any side in the discussion but it is worth pointing out that if everyone looks on the rosters on WWE.com, Samoa Joe is the only wrestler in the entire Superstar Shakeup that has been reported as switching brands, but is still listed as being on Smackdown. Every other wrestler who switched is now showing on the roster they were switched to.

The trades were decent. Fair in my opinion.

As for MitB i would like to see them extend this Kevin Ownes and New Day angle some more. Idk how long BiG E is out for but I think Kevin Owens should get really close with New Day (maybe even a short tag title run with Woods). Then at Money in the Bank, KO wins and instantly cashes in on Kofi that night or on the next Smackdown and wins.

Yeah, I still say the shakeup didn't do anything.

I think they can drag the story out even longer. Make it even more heartbreaking when Owens does turn. Or wait for Big E to come back and he can turn

Okay...so my honest thoughts are:
~ Keeping Seth Rollins, AJ Styles & Aleister Black away from the Plank of Wood
is going to work out great for them...in fact...that's my Wrestlemania 36 main event...
Rollins vs. Styles vs. Black for the Universal title...
~ Keeping The Miz away from the IC title is lame...
~ I honestly fear SDL will become the Plank of Wood show because you know
he will be getting TV time every week...possibly 20 minutes or more...
~ The fact Vince even drafted his favorite to SDL still confuses me...unless
he's finally decided to move on & focus on Rollins, Styles & (in the future) Black...
~ Isn't Becky technically on both rosters or is she full time RAW now? If so...then
I'm glad the company has put some distance between her & Charlotte...
~ Nice to see Naomi & the Usos have been kept together...
~ I'm glad Lars Sullivan FINALLY made his debut...and I'm guessing Vince is
already "pitching a tent" over a Sullivan/Strowman Royal Rumble or Survivor
Series encounter...
~ Hopefully Bayley, Ember & Kairi get a fair shake on SDL. Have Charlotte
put Ember & Kairi over CLEANLY WWE...they need it & Charlotte has the reached
the point where she doesn't need to win matches anymore...
~ For some reason...I think Buddy Murphy will be the "Sleeper Hit" of the
draft. I'd give him a shot at Balor ASAP.
~ I really, REALLY do not like Paige managing Asuka & Kairi. Just release her
WWE...I'm sure she'll be fine now she's away from Del Rio.

There...that's my thoughts looking at these two lists.

I'm still not going to watch the main roster...but that's what I think of the current
situation.
