With WrestleMania and the Superstar Shakeup concluding, WWE will now switch its focus to new feuds, storylines, as well as introducing new Superstars to RAW and SmackDown.
We've seen quite a big shakeup with several big names switching brands, while Superstars that were called up from NXT being assigned a brand as well.
And there are other Superstars who could be transitioning to smaller roles on both RAW and SmackDown much like The Undertaker, John Cena, or Brock Lesnar.
Let's take a look at 5 current WWE Superstars who could become part-timers:
(I have omitted the likes of Big Show, Dolph Ziggler, and Goldust from this list as they haven't featured much on WWE television lately)
#5 & #4 Matt and Jeff Hardy
Matt and Jeff Hardy won the SmackDown Tag Team titles from The Usos, a week before the Superstar Shakeup. This is their first-ever SmackDown tag team title run for the Hardy Boyz, who defeated The Usos in the first-ever match between the two sets of legendary tag team brothers.
Many will feel that the only reason the Hardy's won the titles from The Usos was so that The Usos could move over to RAW during the Superstar Shakeup.
It has been rumoured for a long time that Matt Hardy may retire from wrestling owing to the numerous injuries he has suffered over the years in the ring. Matt is 44 years old now and is well past his prime, while Jeff at 41 is reaching the point in a pro wrestler's career where they think of transitioning to another role in the wrestling business.
While the two brothers can still put on a decent match, they are nowhere near the peak of their powers. We could see them be part-timers, having short programs ahead of big PPVs and against up-and-coming tag teams, to put them over.
#3 Bobby Lashley
For a pro wrestler who is 42 years of age, Bobby Lashley is in incredible shape! The former Intercontinental champion, who lost the title to Finn Balor at WrestleMania 35, hasn't had a memorable feud on WWE television since returning last year, but is a strong mid-card heel.

He's a part of a heel threesome alongside Baron Corbin and Drew McIntyre on RAW, who have wreaked havoc on the rest of the Superstars.
But, much like the Hardy Boyz, Lashley has just a few years remaining in his pro wrestling career, and we could see him become a part-timer, too.
Lashley also expressed his desire to return to MMA and Bellator, revealing that he's still in contract with them. We could maybe see Lashley take a break away from WWE and fight in MMA, while making appearances in big-name PPVs.
#2 The Miz
Like him or hate him, The Miz has achieved a lot in the WWE, least being Triple Crown champion and Grand Slam champion, while, more importantly, being one of WWE's most trusted and important men over the last decade or so.
He may not have the wrestling ability of Shawn Michaels, but he makes up for it with his great personality and hard work.
The Miz has been a part of The Marine franchise movies, as well as a few other movies, while he and wife Maryse now also have their own TV series, Miz & Mrs. Much like John Cena, there is a possibility that The Miz could switch over to acting in movies and TV shows as he has achieved almost everything there is to achieve.
And with a young family, he may want to get away from the gruelling WWE schedule and transition to acting.
#1 Ronda Rousey
We aren't quite sure what Ronda Rousey's status with WWE is currently. There were a lot of rumours doing the rounds a few weeks ago that the former UFC champ would quit WWE after WrestleMania 35, and those rumours weren't put to rest after she injured her hand in the WrestleMania 35 main event against Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair.

Rousey is rumoured to be planning to have a family and hence would want to step away from the WWE. If that is not true, we could maybe see her have a few brief appearances as she has seemed frustrated about life in WWE.
She could perhaps be the Brock Lesnar of the women's division, but hopefully not hold on to a belt for too long.
There were even some reports that WWE could move her over to SmackDown before the Fox deal.
