The annual WWE Superstar Shake-up for this year has gone into the record books. Several Superstars from all three brands ended up switching shows, leading to new beginnings and tag team breakups.

The red brand has scored one of the most popular Superstars in recent times, in the form of AJ Styles, while SmackDown Live is now home to The Big Dog, Roman Reigns. Teams like The Boss 'n' Hug Connection, SAnitY, and The Sky Pirates have all been broken up courtesy of the Superstar Shakeup. But, what we did get is a hope to witness some long-anticipated classic matches that the fans have been clamouring for a while.

Let's take a look at 5 possible feuds that we could see, now that the Superstar Shake-up is done and dusted with.

#5. Roman Reigns vs. Daniel Bryan

These two had a short rivalry post Reigns' win in the Royal Rumble match in 2015. Fans had been wanting Bryan in the main event of WrestleMania for the second year in a row and wasn't pleased one bit with The Big Dog winning the free-for-all. Reigns defeated Bryan to advance to 'Mania for a match against Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Title.

Four long years later, we have finally got these two premier athletes on one show. A lot has changed since WrestleMania 31, as Daniel Bryan has come out of his retirement and become quite possibly the biggest heel in WWE. Roman Reigns recently made his triumphant return after battling leukemia and went on to defeat Drew McIntyre at The Show of Shows.

A program featuring these two, with a big match at the biggest party of the summer, would be something that has promising written all over it. It would be interesting to see a full-fledged heel Byran take on the polarizing Superstar in Reigns at a future PPV.

#4. The New Day implodes

It's only a matter of time...

This is bound to happen at some point in time. Kofi Kingston won the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 35. His New Day brethren celebrated with him in one of the greatest post-match celebrations in 'Mania history. There will come a time though, when the aura of KofiMania will fade away, and that's when WWE will pull the trigger on a heel turn that would break up the group.

The New Day remained unscathed in the Superstar Shakeup, and Big E is currently out with an injury. Come Summerslam season, a storyline could kick off where Big E gets tired of riding in Kofi's shadow, turning heel in the process and attacking his brother.

The angle could see Xavier Woods acting as a mediator between the two Superstars, with Mr. McMahon forcing him to become the special referee for a grudge match at the PPV, pitting Kofi Kingston and Big E. This could end with Big E losing and realizing his mistake, with the three Superstars embracing in the middle of the ring to reform the fan-favorite faction.

Recently, Bobby Lashley stirred up things by stating that he is eyeing a possible MMA career in the near future. The former ECW Champion also talked about having a match with Brock Lesnar.

Ever since Lashley came back to WWE, fans have hoped to see him face off against The Beast, Brock Lesnar. The two Superstars have MMA backgrounds and boast of incredible physiques. Although Lashley is a heel at the moment, fresh off his loss to The Demon at WrestleMania 35, there's enough time for him to turn into a babyface and begin a program with Lesnar for an eventual match at Summerslam or even Survivor Series.

WWE didn't give us Brock Lesnar vs. Batista and the latter recently announced that he has retired. Before Lashley leaves, the WWE Universe deserves to see these two behemoths go at it at least once.

#2. Kofi Kingston vs. Kevin Owens

This past week on SmackDown Live, Kevin Owens joined The New Day, much to Vince McMahon's disgust. The freshly returned babyface is now an honorary member of The New Day. Throughout the episode, Kofi and Woods tried to make Owens comfortable in his new role, by forcing him to eat pancakes and involving him in many more such shticks.

This doesn't look like it's going to end well for the New Day though. Owens is a better heel than a babyface, and he has proven this fact over the course of the past several years. The WWE Universe should expect Owens to turn heel on The New Day sometime in the near future, with KO challenging Kingston for his WWE Title.

Owens was a strong contender to go to Raw, but remained on SmackDown Live. Could this be an indication that he is in for a future title shot against Kofi? Only time will tell.

Now that AJ Styles is on the red brand, the WWE Universe is bound to get the dream match in the near future. Seth Rollins is quite possibly the most over Superstar on Monday Night Raw, and fans can't seem to get enough of The Phenomenal One.

There's no way WWE isn't going to capitalize on a dream rivalry of this caliber. The two Superstars are bound to come face to face somewhere down the line. This rivalry could be kick-started as soon as possible, with a main-event match taking place at Summerslam!

There are tons of fans out there who believe that AJ and Rollins are two of the best workers in WWE at the moment. The eventual match could turn into one of the greatest bouts in recent memory.
