Superstar Shakeup! Who should flip?
Which superstars would you like to see go through the ultimate thrill ride and have their fantasy warfare get real?
This is what I propose: Raw to SDL Rollins Samoa Joe SDL to Raw Mojo Ziggler I wouldn't have more than two trades, lets have the rosters settle a bit before going crazy. Quote:

Styles is definitely going to Raw. Bryan is eager to move him after what he did to Shane.
Guessing Rollins to SmackDown in trade. Could see Bryan trading Cena and Nikki to Raw too so as to avoid accusations of nepotism, even though both of them are going to be going away for a bit. Sets up Roman and Cena on the same show because you know that's a match WWE will want do eventually. SmackDown will get at least one tag team, New Day probably make sense at this point. |

How would Kurt explain coming in and doing those two terrible trades?? It would make him look like an idiot trading out two top guys for lower midcard duds. Ziggler is finished as a major player and I can't see a high ceiling for Mojo's limited skill set (ie being hyped)
If you wanted to move those two, maybe AJ and Ambrose? But i think Joe will be staying for that team with Owens. I would do Strowman, Zayn and Cesaro for AJ, Corbin and Harper Something like that to let those guys into singles and fresh starts. |

Right that trade would be awful but it's what I want to see. I want to cut "Raw" out of my life.

Don't want to see it but I feel like Styles will go to Raw. Maybe for Reigns, no way they do Reigns/Lesnar this early and putting Reigns on Smackdown would get them away from one another.
Sami Zayn to Smackdown for Mojo Could see some tag teams switch as well but don't really know who. The Shinning Stars would be better on Smackdown I think. Really want to see Samoa Joe vs John Cena so I hope they end up on the same show. |

I would do an out of the box one: Apollo Crews to Raw for Big E.
New Day cat upset at first like "You are trading all of us for just one guy?" Angle replies "No. Just Big E. Apollo is a good kid. He has a lot of integrity. And he has the intensity and intelligence to be the next big star on Monday Night Raw." In essence, the next few weeks write themselves as the remaining New Day act as though Crews was traded to them. They try to get him to loosen up and show some personality. Big E, on the other hand, starts off feuding with Creepy McWolfshirt as they start the slow build towards him becoming the next #2 or #3 guy (behind Reigns and likely Cass.) and maybe even the top guy on Smackdown once Cena a nd Orton retire. |

Love the fact that WWE gave The Universe a week to think of all the different possibilities. This is one of the huge benefits of the brand split is you get fresh matchups every year. Pretty excited to see what happens.
Some things I see happening: Charlotte to SDL. She's clearly the best woman on the roster, but Sasha vs Charlotte ran it's course, and this leaves the door open for Sasha to turn heel. Kevin Owens to SDL. I don't think he'll be in the universal title picture, and I could see them swapping the IC champ for US champ. Baron Corbin to RAW. I heard BC was winning the IC title tonight, so I could see them swapping BC for KO, with both as champs. New Day broken up. One to SDL. One to turn on the other. Nakamura drafted by SDL. Ambrose to RAW. Reigns to SDL. Styles to RAW. |

Roman on SDL just gets under my skin. I feel like they would instantly sacrifice people who are faaar more likeable(Nakamura) Just to try to push him even more.
I'd like to see Harper traded possibly for Cesaro (who I keep thinking would be awesome on SDL) and it would get Harper away from Wyatt if they really want the family to stay broken up. Jinder and his granite rock body for Dolph Ziggler who I've sadly given up on. |

AJs gone to Raw, easy. I assume Charlotte and New Day to Smackdown and they're good moved. Kind of hope Sami moves too.

Becky to RAW. Let's keep the Fatal 4-Horsewomsn RAW Women's Championship match dream alive! I mean, yeah we're 1 1/2-2 years removed from the start of the "Women's Revolution" movement, but it's GOT to happen at some point, otherwise they're sitting on tons of money and letting it all disappear out from under them. I say give all 4 a chance to fight each other 1-on-1-on-1-on-1...maybe at SummerSlam.

If Reigns goes to SDL then hopefully Styles is traded then I can ditch SDL and watch Raw I guess.

I must be the only person that doesn't see Styles going to Raw. If I am wrong (which I probably will be) and Styles does go to Raw, I can only see it doing him harm. He'll appear on Raw the week after being traded, have a bit of a singles run and before we know it, the Raw team will run out of ideas for him and decide to go for the quick-fix solution and throw him back together with Gallows & Anderson and then we'll be back to where we were a year ago.
If Styles does go to Raw, then perhaps Gallows and Anderson go to SmackDown to avoid what I've said actually happening. Considering what happened on SmackDown with Styles, him going to Raw (if it happens) could be the beginning of a face run for him. |

Anyway, to answer the question of who I would like to see traded:
Cass for Mojo - Break up the team of Enzo & Cass and give Cass the chance to shine on SmackDown. Mojo going to Raw could give him the chance to change a little bit but it also rules out any chance of The Hype Bros. coming back together and also opens up the possibility of Hawkins & Ryder being a team once again or even going against each other once Ryder has healed. Mahal for Kalisto - Much like Cass, Mahal going to SmackDown would give him a chance to shine. Kalisto going to Raw would actually give him the chance to do something and be involved in the Cruiserweight Division. Dana for Carmella - Again, like Cass and Mahal, Dana going to SmackDown would be great for her and give her the chance to improve whilst working with Natalya, Mickie and even Becky. Carmella going to Raw could be what turns Enzo heel. She did it with Ellsworth and she can do it with Enzo. I've said for a while that Enzo would be much better as a heel who is all talk, as his mic work is really the only good thing about him. I think having Enzo & Carmella as a heel couple would be great. Hell, maybe he could also join the Cruiserweight Division with Carmella by his side. At this moment in time, the more names the division gets, the better. I'd also like to see Curtis Axel, The Shining Stars and Alicia Fox go to SmackDown, only because I like them and I feel that they're being completely wasted on Raw. |

As for who I think will swap:
Raw gets: Alexa Bliss Luke Harper The Miz (with Maryse) (It's a tiny tiny feeling I have but also only because I'm struggling to think of anyone else from SmackDown that will be swapped) SmackDown gets: Emma A Tag Team (Either Cesaro & Sheamus or Gallows & Anderson) Seth Rollins |

Actually the more I think about it the more I realize I like the idea of sending SmackDown's few remaining teams to Raw for the Cruiserweight division.
Yeah it's kinda dumb to kill off the SmackDown tag belts so early in their existence but SmackDown was only really focusing on 2 teams anyway. Gives each show a unique division and avoids the cruiserweights needing to travel to both shows. Also guys like Aries, Neville, etc. can be mixed in with the regular roster when they aren't on 205 Live. |

According to the Observer, safest bets right now are Styles to RAW and New Day to Smackdown. Also strong chance a Bliss for Charlotte trade happens on the women's side.

What's asinine about it? The Smackdown tag teams don't do anything as it is. Have the Hardys unify them and move the cruiserweights to Smackdown. Seems like a logical solution to some of the problems created by the brand split to me.

Listen, I'd love SmackDown to have a proper tag division. But they don't. They only have enough screen time for one feud at a time and even at that it doesn't always get featured.
They do these multi-man tag team turmoil matches on their PPVs to look like they have a deep division, but it's beyond obvious most of their teams are enhancement level to make way for the two "good" teams they decide are important that month. Send 'em to Raw and give their weekly SmackDown segment to the cruisers. |

That said, New Day to SmackDown was something I thought was possible when they first announced the shake up and they've been directionless for quite some time. I'd be interested in seeing them on the blue brand.
Just as long as they don't send Alpha right to Raw or something, that'll get them right back to square one. |

New Day to Smackdown with DYI called up in a month or two would add a huge shot in the arm to the division. Hype Brothers should be back together soon as well.
I dont mind AJ to raw as long as he doesn't get lost. From what I have seen and read I don't think Brock is gonna be around so much for a month or so so Reigns will be rumbling with Strowman and AJ can have a mini fued with Sami to help make him a bit more legit until Brock comes back. |

Agree, and would love to see a serious Axel again. Shinning Stars do seem like more of a fit for Smackdown as well. Alicia is under rated in my opinion and is better than being 205 Live arm candy.

According to PWI, WWE currently considering the idea of Styles staying in Smackdown and The Club being traded to Smackdown to reunite as a group.
Main plan is for the group to reunite but currently undecided on which brand for the group. |

I'd love Gallows and Anderson on Raw actually. The Club never should've been disbanded in the first place.

I like the idea of Gallows and Anderson joining Smackdown with Styles. With the history Nakamura has with Bullet Club it'd be a good continuation of their time in NJPW and probably Smackdowns top feud for the summer. Don't really see them pairing Gallows and Anderson with Balor or turning Balor heel so I like the idea of The Club reuniting. They are all established now and should be used for something else other than making Roman look strong.

Corbin to Raw make sense. Natti could go as well, don't want to see Bliss go anywhere though. These are the move I'd like to see.
Rollins to SD for The Miz and Maryese Charlotte to SD for Corbin New Day to SD for Kalisto, Aiden English and Mojo Rawly Gallows and Anderson to SD for The Ascension Natayla to Raw for Alicia Fox Carmella to Raw for Emma Rhyno to Raw for Curtis Axel |

I'm sure Corbin isn't going anywhere.
He's still go stuff to settle with Ambrose. Ambrose won at WrestleMania but Corbin won on the post-Mania SmackDown so they're one a piece now. I can see them facing each other again next month at Backlash for the Intercontinental Championship, which I think Corbin will win. |

Seems like Styles might be the one the WWE waits till the last minute to make a real decision. According to the Observer, WWE is now leaning on him to RAW and The Club staying so the reunion can happen. Reigns is still rumored to be staying so someone else or a team gets swapped for Styles instead.
In terms of the women's division, Sasha is rumored to be the one from RAW moving to Smackdown. |

I think Raw needs to be the "sports entertainment" brand and Smackdown needs to be the "wrestling" brand. Just go all out in that direction and don't look back. It would be interesting to see how the ratings go over time if they were able to definitely separate the two brands that way.
