What’s the story?
Following Wrestlemania 33, Vince McMahon appeared on Raw and announced a Superstar shake-up, without divulging any further details. According to the Rumour Round-Up section of Cageside Seats, McMahon himself does not have a concrete idea about the Shake-up next week and has been changing his mind every day.
In case you didn’t know...
Strong online rumours have been circulating for a long time about AJ Styles moving to Raw and Roman Reigns to Smackdown. Fueling those speculations, Vince McMahon announced that it was time to shake things up with a Superstar Shake-up on the Raw after WrestleMania 33.
While we have seen a graphic depicting a draft-like scenario, further details are still unclear. Recently, we heard rumours that the Shake-up would happen on both brands- Raw and SmackDown.
The heart of the matter
The heart of the matter still is that WWE is as much in the dark as we are about the Shake-up. Vince McMahon has constantly been going back and forth backstage with regard to the nature of the draft and the actual names that will be transferred between brands.
All that is happening for certain, according to Cageside Seats, is that a top star from either brand will be transferred to the other one.
What’s next?
If Wrestlemania was on everyone’s minds last week, the Superstar Shake-up is on our minds this week for sure. Millions will tune into Monday Night Raw to see where their favourite Superstars end up finally and also if any past stars will return for the draft.
Author’s take
As we already saw AJ Styles proclaim that he did not want to leave SmackDown Live, one can assume that he will do so in next week’s episode. The rest is just about anyone’s guess for now.
