Fans eagerly await the annual Superstar Shake-Up after the Showcase of Immortals. The Shake-Up took place this week, and it took Raw and SmackDown Live by storm as we saw some shocking things. Two unforeseen surprises happened as AJ Styles got traded to RAW and Roman Reigns joined SmackDown Live. The blue brand is the house that AJ Styles built, and it is unusual to see him on the red brand. Following a victory at the Show of Shows against Randy Orton, the Phenomenal One already proved his supremacy on SmackDown Live.

Styles got drafted to SmackDown Live when Vince McMahon's billion dollar company reintroduced the brand split in 2016. The veteran superstar stayed in the blue brand three years until the Superstar Shake-Up this week. Styles had several memorable bouts on SmackDown Live where he won the WWE Title twice and the US Title twice. As a matter of fact, Styles' last WWE Championship reign lasted 371 days which was the eighth longest World Title reign in history.

Styles is expected to shine on the flagship show. Here we discuss three best possible opponents for the Phenomenal One on RAW.


#3 Bobby Lashley

Bobby Lashley could be a great opponent for Styles on RAW. Lashley had a lengthy feud with Finn Balor which started after Royal Rumble this year. The rivalry ended at the Show of Shows where Finn Balor defeated Bobby Lashley to win the Intercontinental Championship.

Bobby Lashley returned to the company last year after WrestleMania 34. Since he earned his name in MMA and other promotions, he was expected to get a significant push. However, it did not happen as he had a substandard run until January this year when he grabbed the Intercontinental Title.

With a noteworthy rivalry against Finn Balor, the All Mighty Bobby Lashley has obtained a significant momentum. The two-time Intercontinental Champion is currently one of the best heels on the red brand, and he could have an astounding feud with Styles who is a face. Moreover, the involvement of Lio Rush could make the feud exciting.

#2 Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre is not a surprising name here and he could be an ideal candidate to face the two-time WWE Champion. The Scottish Psychopath met Roman Reigns at the Grandest Stage of Them All, but the former failed to beat the latter. The Big Dog left the red brand this week, and McIntyre is searching for a new opponent.

McIntyre teased a brand switch last week when he made a shocking appearance on SmackDown Live. As a matter of fact, McIntyre main-evented the blue brand last week, and many people anticipated a brand switch for the Scottish Psychopath. Nevertheless, it did not happen this week.

Although McIntyre suffered a defeat at the Showcase of Immortals, his confidence is high after taking down two-thirds of The Shield. The Scottish Psychopath defeated Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose before WrestleMania, and he is undeniably the biggest heel of the red brand.

A feud with AJ Styles could lift the stature of McIntyre. The Scottish Psychopath is sublime on the mic, and the former WWE Champion could go toe-to-toe with him. Considering the dexterity of the two men in the squared circle, they could produce a mind-boggling bout.

#1 Seth Rollins

There is no denying that a feud between Seth Rollins and AJ Styles will be a dream rivalry. Since Styles moved to the red brand, many fans will anticipate having a match between the two awe-inspiring performers in the squared circle. The newly crowned Universal Champion had a colossal battle at the Show of Shows where he won the most coveted prize of RAW.

Following the departure of Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins is the ultimate face of the flagship show. Prior to WrestleMania 35, Rollins won the men's Royal Rumble match, and he decided to challenge Brock Lesnar, who was the Universal Champion. The Beastslayer promised to burn down Suplex City, and he managed to keep his promise in New Jersey this month.

With Money in the Bank around the corner, Rollins needs a new opponent. Considering Brock Lesnar might not come back for a rematch, Styles could be a stupendous choice to face the Beastslayer. The two men never locked horns in a one-on-one bout, and it could be a fresh rivalry for the fans. It is no secret that Styles and Rollins are two best performers of Vince McMahon's billion dollar company and they could tear the house down if they tussle for the Universal Title.
