2 WWE Superstars might get a push after the Superstar Shake-Up and 2 Superstars who might not
We witnessed some unforeseen surprises in the Superstar Shake-Up this week. Since it is an annual event every year, fans eagerly wait for the Shake-Up after WrestleMania. Vince McMahon's billion dollar company succeeded in meeting the expectations of the WWE Universe as some leading superstars swapped brands.
The arrival of AJ Styles on RAW was the biggest shock of RAW this week, but the blue brand toppled it when Roman Reigns arrived on SmackDown Live.RAW got some notable names like Andrade, Usos, Aleister Black, Naomi, and Eric Young. The former Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander came from 205 Live, and The Viking Experience joined from NXT.
Besides Reigns, SmackDown Live also brought some distinguished superstars from the red brand. The current Intercontinental Champion Finn Balor, Elias, Lars Sullivan, Bayley, Ember Moon, Liv Morgan, many more joined from the flagship show. Meanwhile, SmackDown Live also got the former Cruiserweight Champion, Buddy Murphy. Kairi Sane was the new entrant from NXT.
With the Superstar Shake-Up, we will be able to see many fresh feuds. Here we discuss two superstars who could get a push after the Superstar Shake-Up and two superstars who might not.
#2 Might not get a push: Elias
Elias was a notable name to switch brands this week, but the brand swap might not change his fortunes. Without a shadow of a doubt, the Drifter is one of the most charismatic superstars of Vince McMahon's billion dollar company, but he has been struck in the mid-card after his main roster debut. Elias did not have a match at the Showcase of Immortals this year, but he had an exciting segment with John Cena.
Elias had a decent run in NXT, and the musician character garnered the attention of the fans. The Drifter had been part of the red brand for two years before moving to the blue brand this week. Despite having sublime mic skill and proficiency in the ring, he did not really do much.
Conventionally, Elias was interrupted by Roman Reigns on SmackDown Live this week. The Big Dog took him down after arriving on the blue brand, and Vince McMahon does not seem to have any big plan for Elias after the brand swap.
