Now that WrestleMania 35 has come and gone, attention turns to the Superstar Shake-Up, which will take place during the April 15-16 episodes of Raw and SmackDown Live.

In 2018, a severe lack of major Superstars swapped between the red and blue brands. Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and Drew McIntyre were among the big names to switch over to Raw, while The Miz and Asuka both joined SmackDown, but established stars like Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Braun Strowman, AJ Styles and Randy Orton stayed where they were.

Rollins would be a good addition to SmackDown Live, which is seen as more of a ‘wrestling’ show than Raw, and his presence on the blue brand would be even more welcomed if rumours about FOX Sports wanting the SmackDown product to be more sports-centric are to be believed.

Given that there is one women’s champion (Becky Lynch) and one set of women’s tag champions (The IIconics) working on both brands, perhaps it is not beyond the realms of possibility that all champions would be able to work on Raw and SmackDown Live moving forward (with the obvious exception of the Raw and SmackDown tag titles).

We have seen over a dozen Superstars compete on both shows in the last few months, so the brand split feels largely pointless right now.
