5 things that could happen if WWE does another Superstar Shakeup

#4 Survivor Series' theme will stay intact

Survivor Series has lost a lot of its luster over the course of the past decade or so, but it's still one of the biggest WWE PPVs of the year. The first event was held in 1987, and became a yearly staple, mimicking the tradition of WrestleMania. Over the past few years, Survivor Series has become the battleground for Raw and SmackDown to take on each other. Last year's Survivor Series saw Raw defeat SmackDown in all 6 inter-promotional matches.

If a proper draft takes place that holds the Superstars on their respective brands and erases the confusion that stems from the Wild Card rule, then the yearly theme of Survivor Series will stay intact and we will witness several Raw vs SmackDown Live battles at the PPV, without having a headache over which Superstar belongs to which brand.

#3 Less clutter and more opportunities

One of the biggest advantages of another Superstar Shakeup would be that the main roster shows will be less cluttered. Although the Wild Card rule was brought in to spike ratings, the 2019 Shakeup was deemed useless because of that. Superstars randomly appearing on the other brand stopped being exciting.

If a draft happens and WWE sticks to keeping wrestlers on their respective brands, we won't have stars from SmackDown Live going to Raw and taking title opportunities from the red brand's Superstars, and vice versa.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
