Native American cultures see the springtime as a period of renewal for Mother Earth. And for those of a secular milieu, there's always the tradition of spring cleaning.
But there's one spring tradition that has become a topic of hot debate among pro wrestling fans and critics, and that's the annual WWE superstar shake-up. During the shake-up, talent is exchanged between the WWE's various brands: RAW, SmackDown Live, NXT, and this year, NXT UK.
The Superstar Shake-up presents fans and talent with new opportunities for matches never before seen. It also can help those wrestlers who struggle on one particular brand, as often a change of scenery can do wonders.
There are many reasons the Superstar Shake-up is even more interesting this year. For one thing, WWE has announced it will be an international talent exchange, meaning NXT UK will be included in the mix.
For another, the new All Elite Wrestling promotion has created an environment where talent will likely NOT be released, which is a less celebrated post Wrestlemania tradition.
Here are ten talent exchanges we'd like to see in the upcoming International Superstar Shake-up.
#1 Seth Rollins
Where he is now: Monday Night RAW
Where he should go: Smackdown Live
The Kingslayer had a less than stellar 2018 overall; At Wrestlemania 34, he captured the Intercontinental championship, but this was viewed by many as a step down for him. A man who has been in the main event picture is expected to chase the brand's top championship, not a mid-card belt, celebrated as it is.
Things have turned around for Rollins recently, with his Royal Rumble victory ensuring the main event spot at Wrestlemania.
However, it might be best for the Architect if he were to be transferred to Smackdown Live. Rollins could face off against a new crop of opponents and give the WWE's number two brand some much-needed star power in the process.
