These switches NEED to happen

With WrestleMania weekend coming to an end, we can look back to it with happy memories as WrestleMania 35 was one of the best in recent memory, while the follow up Raw and SmackDown Live weren't that great, but expect things to heat up as we approach the annual Superstar Shake-up.

This is one of the most exciting weeks in the WWE calendar and if the Superstar Shake-up is done right, we will be able to see some very exciting new feuds and storylines which could be built until WrestleMania 36.

We have some teasers about superstars joining different brands as Braun Strowman and Drew McIntyre recently appeared on Smackdown Live while the freak athlete, Lars Sullivan made appearances on both SmackDown Live and Raw.

Surprisingly, there were very few NXT call-ups on both Raw and SmackDown Live but there are a few names expected to come up in the Superstar Shake-up. So, in this slideshow, we take a look at the 4 Superstar Shake-ups that need to happen:


#5 Lars Sullivan must move to SmackDown Live

The freak
The freak

Lars Sullivan finally made his anticipated debut on the main roster on the Raw after WrestleMania 35. He was originally planned to debut in January, but he, unfortunately, suffered an anxiety attack which derailed plans.

Nevertheless, Sullivan has made a brilliant debut which has clearly made an immediate impact on the WWE Universe. He decimated Kurt Angle on Raw on Monday night and then he beat the hell out of the new SmackDown Tag Team Champions, The Hardy Boyz.

Sullivan has been doing this in his NXT days and he has an enormous talent to live up to. So, the land of opportunity, that is the SmackDown Live, is the best place for him to show his monstrous ability in the ring.

Also, Sullivan would get more screen space in SmackDown rather than in Raw as the latter has a stacked up roster, filled with huge superstars. The freak athlete has made an absolutely brilliant debut and nobody in the WWE Universe wants to see his momentum slow down.

#4 and #3 Jimmy and Jey Uso must move to Raw

The Usos have been a mainstay on the blue brand

This is more of an expected move and Vince McMahon clearly hinted about this on Smackdown Live. The Usos were defeated by The Hardy Boyz on Tuesday and the latter have now become the new SmackDown Tag Team Champions and because this has happened just a week before the superstar Shake-up, expect to see The Usos being drafted to the red brand.

The Usos have been brilliant in the blue brand where they have been in the Tag Team titles picture since the start and they have held them a couple of times. Raw currently needs some freshness in the Tag Team roster and Jimmy and Jey will be perfect for the red brand.

So, don't get surprised if The Usos get drafted to the red brand and straightaway challenge Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins for the Raw Tag Team Titles.

#2 Braun Strowman must move to SmackDown Live

Monster Among Men
Monster Among Men

This is another move which was teased by Vince McMahon on Tuesday when Braun Strowman showed up to disrupt the United States Champion, Samoa Joe.

Braun's move to SmackDown Live could prove to be a blessing for the Monster Among Men as his fall from the grace on the red brand has been nothing short of a disappointment.

Strowman has found it difficult in the red brand for the last couple of months and there hasn't been a particular feud he has been involved in on his road to WrestleMania 35.

Strowman has a little bit momentum behind him after he won the Andre The Giant Battle Memorial at 'Mania and WWE should bank on this momentum to push him up the ladder in the blue brand.

Also, his teased feud with Samoa Joe is a dream for many WWE fans we would be able to see two giants face to face.

#1 AJ Styles must move to Raw

The Phenomenal One
The Phenomenal One

AJ Styles has been with SmackDown Live for a very long period and he has been the man who has made SmackDown a credible competitor with the star power of the red brand, but its time for The Phenomenal One to leave the house that he built.

Styles has recently fallen down the pecking order on the blue brand after losing his WWE Championship to Daniel Bryan and his recent feud with Randy Orton was nothing short of a disappointment.

It would be beneficial to both Styles and WWE if he moves to Raw as we have seen him compete with almost everyone on the blue brand.

Also, this would see The Phenomenal One having fresh feuds and storylines, and I for one can't wait to see him in a feud against Finn Balor, Seth Rollins or Roman Reigns. Styles is an experienced professional and he would make Monday Nights the place to be in the WWE.
