I mean if you honestly look at it, the Superstar Shake-Up was quite a dud compared to other years. The fact is that way too many WWE superstars had been called up right before WrestleMania 35.
The only real NXT call-up that we saw during SmackDown Live was Kairi Sane. Even trades like Elias, Finn Balor and Bayley did not really get the WWE Universe excited.
And this is why I reckon Vince McMahon wanted the show to end on a very positive note. To erase the fact that we did not get to see The Undisputed ERA or The Velveteen Dream as part of the call-ups this time around on SmackDown. To forget the fact that Elias was his big announcement for SmackDown.
To be honest, I am intrigued with regards to what's next in this particular storyline. Consider me sold.
