4 WWE Superstars who will be negatively affected by the results of the Superstar Shakeup

Not everyone was treated equally during The Superstar shakeup.

While WWE seems to have some pretty interesting plans for some of the Superstars involved in the Shakeup last week on both Raw and SmackDown, there were other decisions made that made no sense and seems to only be to hurt particular Superstars. Of course there were multiple examples of this on the two day event, but which were the most damaging?

With that being said and another edition of The Superstar Shakeup finally in the books, here are four WWE superstars that will be negatively affected by the results of The Shakeup. Please keep in mind that while some of the picks on this list will be those who were actually drafted, others will be the people they left behind in the process.

#4 Natalya to Monday Night Raw

Natayla, — How did The Queen Of Hearts Fair in The Superstar Shakeup?

WWE made two big mistakes with Natalya during The Superstar Shakeup. The first was moving her to Monday Night Raw in the first place, especially since The SmackDown Live Women's Division still desperately needed someone like her to elevate the division. The second mistake was turning her face in the process of it all.

While some might believe that Rousey helping Natalya fend off Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville gave the future Hall of Famer the jolt in the arm she needed to have a good run on Raw, it took away her brilliant heel personal in the process. Not only that, it also made her a babyface, which severely limits her championship opportunities as well.

In the end, its not all bad for Natalya, especially since she will get a chance to work with Alexa Bliss, Nia Jax, Mickie James and Ember Moon, but it comes at a huge cost to Natalya and The SmackDown Live Women's division and will definitely show in the coming weeks for both parties.

#4 Anderson And Gallows.

Gallows and Anderson have been criminally underutilized in The WWE after losing The Tag team titles at last year's WrestleMania in Orlando and it looks like that trend is going to continue now that they have been moved to Smackdown Live. While some might see the move as a good thing since its a chance to reform The Club, that most likely won't happen.

Of course, the reason for that is due to the fact that Aj Styles is the most over babyface in the company right now and doesn't need a mid-card tag team to make him any bigger then he already is. Not only that, The Usos, The Bludgeon Brother and The New Day all still on Smackdown Live almost guarantees they will be passed over for title opportunities once again.

In the end, Gallows and Anderson don't have much staying power and not even forming The Balor Club on Monday Night Raw could solve that problem. With that being said, what makes anyone think that anything will be different now that the former Tag team champions call the blue brand home?

#3 Chad Gable to Monday Night Raw

One has to wonder what exactly WWE was thinking when they decided to bring Chad Gable back to Monday Night Raw and while it could be a hint of the company wanting to bring him and Jason Jordan back together, that honestly seems almost impossible in the completely stacked tag team division on Monday Night Raw.

With Woken Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt, The Authors of Pain, The Revival, and Titus Worldwide already on Raw it's going to be very hard to find a place for Gable and Jordan in that division. Not only that, if WWE is considering a singles run for Gable, that could be even worse given the fact that he is horribly bland and has trouble connecting with fans.

#1 Jinder Mahal to Monday Night Raw

It should probably be obvious that Jinder Mahal's reign as United States Champion wouldn't last long, but WWE made a powerful statement by having Mahal drafted to Raw only to lose the belt to Jeff Hardy moments later. Not only did the decision mark the second time in a year Mahal had a title reign cut short, he also seems to just a replacement for The Miz on Raw.

Of course, WWE could always decide to do something with him like they did on Smackdown Live but it's not very likely that WWE is willing to recreate that experiment again. Furthermore, with babyfaces like Balor, Rollins, Strowman and Reigns on Raw, they are going to need a villain character like Mahal to play off of.

Unfortunately for Mahal, he will likely come up on the losing end of many of those encounters, which is only going to drive him further and further down the card as time goes on. In the end, he is decent on the mic and capable of drawing some pretty strong heat from the crowd, but there are others who can do it better and are easier to build a storyline around.
