5 Things That Could Happen In The 2019 Superstar Shake-up

What Will Happen This Year When The Roster Is Shaken Up?
What Will Happen This Year When The Roster Is Shaken Up?

Vince McMahon doesn't like calling it a draft, so ladies and gentlemen get ready for another Superstar Shake-up.

The shake-up is kind of stupid in the way it happens. Superstars just come out and we are told by the commentators that they are on the show now. Things like that could be improved this year by having the McMahons announce the changes or something like that.

But on this list we are going to focus more on which superstars should switch brands or what call-ups should happen on the show as opposed to the Raw or SmackDown after 'Mania. WWE is certainly not perfect and a lot of changes could definitely be made to both rosters to make each show better than it currently is.

So these 5 things should definitely happen in this year's Superstar Shake-up (again, not the WWE Draft) -


5# Daniel Bryan To Raw

If Daniel Bryan loses the WWE title to Kofi Kingston - which he should - then he should be the first person to join Raw in the shake-up.

He can continue his heel run and be joined by his mate Rowan. You could even give him the original Bray Wyatt gimmick of making a cult but actually do it properly. He could be joined by Rowan, a returning Harper and maybe even Braun Strowman. Braun has changed a lot since the Wyatts disbanded, but he could return to his old gimmick and be the muscle of the new stable.

If Bray Wyatt returns after WrestleMania, we could get a Bray vs Bryan feud with Wyatt angry that Bryan stole his family. Those two have had great matches in the past, so why not have another great feud between the two.

This years shake-up is said to be an international one. This is the perfect excuse to call up two of the best acts in NXT - more specifically, NXT UK.

It doesn't matter what brand; these three men are more than ready to be called up. Even though Tyler Bate is only 22 years old. How is he so good?

NXT UK call-ups happen very rarely and are less frequent than normal NXT call ups. These three men are the best in NXT UK and even appear on the normal NXT brand from time to time. Let's hope the right call is made.


3# Swapping The US and IC titles

Last year the Unites States and Intercontinental titles switched brands at the superstar shake-up. The same should happen this year.

Since Finn Balor is most likely going to be the IC champion after 'Mania, it could finally be the time to do a Balor vs Styles feud in WWE between the two former Bullet Club leaders.

Yes, I know they had a match at TLC in 2017 but I mean a full on feud, a series of matches that take place potentially for a title. It could be a great feud and could make some fans that are only thinking about AEW at the moment happy.

2# Becky On Both Brands

Whoever wins both titles at 'Mania, they probably won't unify the belts. They will most likely defend them separately.

The winner should be Becky Lynch and it must be announced at the shake-up that she will defend both belts on both shows.

This can lead to her eventually dropping one of the belts further down the line and after that just being on one show and focusing on one title.


1# Roman Reigns Joins Smackdown

With SmackDown moving to Fox this October, they need their biggest stars on the blue brand - and right now, there is no star bigger than Roman Reigns.

Even people who don't like Roman have to admit that he is the only real draw left on the full-time roster. He's no Steve Austin, but his return has helped Raw's ratings in the lead-up to Wrestlemania.

Roman hasn't been the WWE Champion since 2016, and even though the Universal title is important, the WWE title has been around since the 60's, so it is much more prestigious. Roman can lead the company as a babyface for years to come and putting the WWE title on him can be a start to that. So why not have the Big Dog return to SmackDown?
