WWE Superstar Shakeup 2017: Live tracker for moves, trades
SmackDown Live Superstar Shakeup Moves
Looking at the way things played out on RAW, there are only two explanations for what could happen on SmackDown Live in the WWE Superstar Shakeup. On one hand, they could match all of the big names like Ambrose and Wyatt with other big names that will be turning blue. Then there’s the case where WWE could well be gutting SmackDown.
Obviously the hope is for the former, but it’s hard to say. Even with all of the rumors leading up to the show, there were still a plethora of surprises on Monday night. No one saw the Wyatt move coming, though the segment with Finn Balor was quite great. What’s more, the opening segment sent three big names with Ambrose, The Miz and Maryse to the red brand. Again, that wasn’t a move anyone was talking about.
It’s pretty clear that the plans have been changing heavily throughout the process of getting to Monday and Tuesday night. However, that raises the level of excitement in a big way and should ultimately give the fans something to look forward to on Tuesday night.
With that in mind, don’t miss out on any of the moves on SmackDown Live. We’ll be tracking them all below once the show begins on Tuesday night at 8:00 p.m. ET.

This is a brilliant ploy by WWE to try and keep things interesting following the post-WrestleMania shows, which is often a dull period. Things will get spiced up and everyone should benefit. Let’s just hope that WWE makes the right moves as they shake things up.
