5 WWE Superstar Shakeup moves that didn't make sense

#1 Samoa Joe to SmackDown Live

Samoa Joe made his return from injury after WrestleMania

Overall, I really like the move of Samoa Joe to SmackDown Live. He can reignite an Impact Wrestling feud with AJ Styles, reignite a Ring o0f Honor feud with Daniel Bryan, and create some new feuds as well, potentially with The New Day or Big E specifically.

The problem I have with Joe moving to SmackDown Live right now is the fact that he's just starting what could be a very entertaining feud with Roman Reigns on Monday Night Raw. If Reigns defeats Brock Lesnar for the WWE Universal Championship at the Greatest Royal Rumble, then the build-up for this title match at Backlash includes someone from each brand.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

Now that pay per views are going to be co-branded going forward, this could easily be fixed by allowing Joe to appear on Raw and vice versa with Reigns on SmackDown.
