Before the Superstar Shake-up, WWE teased Braun Strowman moving to SmackDown Live, as he appeared on an episode of SmackDown to attack Samoa Joe.

Instead, WWE moved Samoa Joe to the red brand, but nothing has followed up since that attack for almost two weeks.

Similarly, Lars Sullivan had been drafted to Raw last week, but it seems like WWE immediately realized the mistake they were about to make. Lars was moved to SmackDown the next night, as the blue brand was deprived of big men after Samoa Joe’s move.

If Lars and Strowman had been put on the same roster, it would have created more booking issues for WWE as they have already tried hard to keep Strowman and McIntyre apart for as long as possible.

Raw now has Strowman, McIntyre, and Joe on its roster who can demolish superstars, and thankfully Lars has been moved to SmackDown to carry on his demolition work there.
