5 WWE questions you never thought to ask

#1 Do Superstars know if they’re going to change brands?

AJ Styles has been on SmackDown Live since 2016

You would think that WWE Superstars would receive some warning if their schedule is going to drastically change for the next 12 months – but they don’t.

AJ Styles was heavily rumoured to be moving to Raw in the 2017 Superstar Shake-Up. However, after remaining on SmackDown Live, he revealed to Inside The Ropes that he had no idea if he was switching brands until the day that the roster changes were made.

Speaking on a WWE Draft episode of his ‘Something To Wrestle With’ podcast, former WWE producer Bruce Prichard revealed that Vince McMahon doesn’t tell Superstars in advance about brand moves because he wants a real reaction from them and he doesn’t want information to be leaked.
