The Superstar Shake-Up happens annually, and fans eagerly wait for it. Vince McMahon's billion dollar company makes several changes every year after WrestleMania, and it should not be different this year. Superstar Shake-Up is exciting as the superstars swap brands and some NXT stars get drafted to the main roster.
WWE already announced in January that the Superstar Shake-Up would take place after WrestleMania this year. The episodes of RAW and SmackDown Live were action-packed this week, and the company hyped the Superstar Shake-Up.
Monday Night Raw opened this week when the newly crowned WWE Champion Kofi Kingston made a surprise appearance. It was a surprising sight for the fans as Kofi won the most coveted prize in the industry. The Bar also showed up on RAW when they interrupted the main-event, and they eventually fought the two Champions in a tag team match.
SmackDown Live also had surprising appearances as Braun Strowman had a brawl with the US Champion Samoa Joe while Drew McIntyre main evented the show this week. Here we discuss three superstars from SmackDown Live who could be heading to RAW next week after Superstar Shake-Up:
#3 The Usos
The Usos are front runners to swap brands after losing the Smackdown Tag Team Titles on SmackDown Live this week. Jimmy and Jey put the twin belts on the line at the Showcase of Immortals against three other teams, and they defended the belts successfully.
However, WWE announced that the twin brothers would put the belts on the line against The Hardy Boyz this week. There is no denying that bout was spectacular on SmackDown Live, but Hardy Boyz overcame The Usos to win their maiden SmackDown Tag Team Titles.
The Usos have been an integral part of the blue brand for a long time. The twin brothers definitely dominated the Tag Team division of SmackDown Live, and their incredible stats prove it. They won the SmackDown Tag Team Titles four times which is most by any team. Since the reintroduction of the brand split, they have been part of the blue brand, and they could be heading to RAW next week.
#2 Samoa Joe
Samoa Joe has a gigantic possibility to swap brands next week. Joe made a massive statement at the Showcase of Immortals where he squashed the former WWE Champion Rey Mysterio. The current United States Champion was celebrating his victory on SmackDown Live this week, but Braun Strowman cut short his celebration.
Following the appearance of Braun Strowman on the blue brand, it is clear if the company could be planning a feud between the two superstars. Considering Strowman is the top guy of the flagship show, he is not likely to switch brands despite teasing the fans this week. However, Joe could be traded to RAW where he might face Strowman.
The current US Champion indeed obtained a notable momentum after a dominating victory at the Grandest Stage of Them All. Joe could offer a mind-boggling bout with Strowman if the two men lock horns at Money in the Bank. Joe might enter the Universal Championship picture on RAW after the US Title reign.
#1 AJ Styles
AJ Styles is not a surprising entrant here, and he has a big possibility to change brands next week. The Phenomenal One had a colossal battle at the Showcase of Immortals where he faced Randy Orton. The two men met each other to prove their supremacy on SmackDown Live and Styles showed that SmackDown is the house that AJ Styles built, after winning the bout in New Jersey.
The Phenomenal One attained plenty of success on the blue brand. As a matter of fact, Styles has been part of the blue brand since the reintroduction of the brand split in 2016. He won the United States Championship twice and the WWE World Title twice. Moreover, his last WWE Title reign lasted 371 days which was the eighth longest World Title reign in recent history.
Judging by the track record of the Phenomenal One on SmackDown Live, he has nothing more to prove. Considering Styles locked horns with most of the superstars of the blue brand, we could see fresh feuds if he moves to the flagship show. Following successful stints as the WWE World Champion, he could get an opportunity to chase the Universal Championship on RAW.
