#3. The mid-card champions change brands
AJ Styles just seems like a smaller player on RAW, does he not? He's certainly in a prominent position as the leader of The OC, taking Anderson and Gallows on a rampage whenever there's an opportunity, but he just seemed like a far bigger deal back on SmackDown Live.
Plus, him being on SmackDown Live would also give him a chance to bring back the 'house that AJ Styles built' tagline. While this may seem like a small deal to you, every time he says the line, a few hundred t-shirts probably sell out, fully justifying why the move to Smackdown on FOX may make a lot of sense.

His adversary from Japan, Shinsuke Nakamura, on the other hand, will fare far better on RAW for sure because there's the extra hour to ensure that he remains on TV. Sometimes, we go for weeks without seeing him on television and this is a problem that can be rectified by moving the man to the red brand.
This is not really a surprise because the Champions usually change brands during the Superstar Shake-Up, but something like this will always shake WWE up quite significantly.
