Superstar shakeup

[Deezy]

What will it be? A draft? Backstage skits with Stephanie and Shane doing back room deals?

People I don't want to be traded are AJ and Miz....AJ is the franchise and Miz is the main reason for talking smack being must see.

Other than that, put Seth on SmackDown, give SmackDown some tag teams that are not cartoonish gimmicks.

In all honesty I don't see anything Raw needs, it's SmackDown that has a top heavy roster and desperately needs a midcard infusion.

What y'all think?

Tbh I think it'll be the same thing as the draft last year but not as many picks. Each GM gets to take a certain number of superstars off the other roster.

 

[Cwalker]

I think it'll be like the old draft where a Raw guy faces a SD guy and the winner gets a pick.

Biggest rumors l'm hearing is AJ heading to Raw and New Day heading to SD. AJ moving would be disappointing as the matchup with Nakamura is right there.

I'd love to see Seth and Sami move and in return, maybe Alpha and Luke Harper can over. Both brands need to freshen their midcard.

 

[Sabretooth]

I feel like they'd want to move one top guy from Raw to SD and one top guy from SD to Raw so I think AJ on Raw and Roman to SD sounds like a safe bet. I think Sasha Banks is gonna go to SD and Alexa going to Raw.

 

[Roadster]

If AJ goes, SDL needs Joe.

If not, it will be severely disappointing.

I feel the same way about AJ moving too, let him be the face of SmackDown like Batista, Taker & Edge were in years gone by. Rollins switching with him would be a natural swap though.

Tag division definitely needs a shakeup. I said that New Day and Enzo & Cass needed to be on seperate rosters since they were easily the 2 most popular teams although that's changed since Mania. I'd probably send Cesaro & Sheamus over to SmackDown aswell. Really like the character work they've done between the two as partners over these few months and would like to see them continue it. Plus, when they eventually split they'd be two guys who could easily transition into the midcard or main event roles.

Read that Charlotte would be switching places with Alexa too which would be amazing. Not a fan of Charlotte by any means but she's a million times better worker than Alexa and could have some nice feuds with Becky/Mickie/Naomi.

Plus that gives us a potential Nikki/Charlotte match if Nikki comes back, and that's the only match i care about.

According to two different dirt sheets we have a different view of what we may see in the shakeup.

They both seem to agree that Alexa Bliss is moving to Raw.

Please just don't get lost in the shuffle.

My predictions based somewhat on rumors and personal choice:

To SDL -

Roman Reigns or Seth Rollins
The New Day
Sheamus & Cesaro
Charlotte Flair
Nia Jax
Cien Almas from NXT

To RAW -

AJ Styles
Dolph Ziggler
Kalisto
Alexa Bliss
Carmella w/ James Ellsworth
Elias Samson from NXT

Don't see them moving Sasha at all, especially when she's primed to turn heel on Bayley before much longer and be the lead heel on Raw.

Agreed. I think the first report by Meltzer seems more likely. I feel it's a safer bet that Charlotte is moving after finishing up with Bayley and having all her allies turn on her. SDLive is the fresh choice for her.

 

[Drew]

Charlotte on SD with Bliss is nice. But we've seen a ton of her and Bliss vs Becky. Hope it's Naomi getting all the matches.

Both Meltzer and PWI believe Bliss is going to Raw. I'll happily accept her, Sasha and Bayley matches.

 

[Drew]

Agree. But I love Bliss on SD.

 

[Sabretooth]

Smackdown has been amazing to Alexa bliss. It's gonna be hard for me to see her move to Raw but it could work.

 

[Crippler]

can't wait for steph to tower over her and defeminize her, should make for great tv
