5 Superstars that need to move in WWE Shake-Up

With The Superstar Shake-Up this week, the WWE is about to look a whole lot different; let’s examine five Superstars who should take advantage of this new beginning

The Superstar Shake-Up, once known as the WWE Draft, has been one of the most exciting events of the WWE calendar since 2002. Aside from the five-year period between 2011 and 2016, when WWE temporarily terminated the brand split, the Shake-Up has consistently served as an instrument of reinvigoration, stimulating Raw and SmackDown simultaneously by shuffling the deck. It allows the WWE a chance to examine their talent roster and move around the players to create new storylines, generate previously unforeseen matchups, reunite old rivalries and occasionally see if an underutilized Superstar can maximize their potential elsewhere.  It’s like a fresh reset for the creative team, functioning as a Deus ex machina for monotony, and the fans who get to see their favorites in a new setting.

Like the WWE in general, during the Shake-Up, anything can happen, and this year’s Superstar Shake-Up has the possibility of being the most compelling to date, as all five of WWE’s programs could be participating. Announced as the “First Ever International Superstar Shake-Up” fans are lead to believe that performers from Raw, SmackDown, NXT, NXT UK, and 205 Live will all be involved. With WWE’s pool of talent deeper than ever, it has the potential of getting interesting quick.

Let’s take a look at five Superstars, one for each of the WWE’s brands, who could be best served by making a move on Monday and Tuesday:
