3 reasons why various WWE Superstars have appeared on both RAW and SmackDown LIVE recently
For the past few weeks, we have been seeing a huge chunk of WWE Superstars from RAW, SmackDown LIVE, and NXT appearing and doing something significant on both RAW and SmackDown LIVE.
We have been seeing NXT talents like Alesteir Black and Ricochet performing in WWE's three major brands during the same period. The duo has even competed for the tag team titles on each brand during the last week.
They faced the then RAW tag team champions, The Revival, on the WrestleMania go home episode of RAW. They faced the current NXT tag team champions, the War Raiders, in a fantastic match at NXT TakeOver: New York, and at WrestleMania the unlikely duo faced The Usos, the Bar, and the team of Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura for the SD LIVE tag team championship.
Similarly, many superstars are jumping ship to other brands - Braun Strowman and Drew McIntyre made an appearance on the latest episode of SmackDown LIVE. In this list, we will take a look at a few reasons why these superstars have appeared on both RAW and SmackDown LIVE.
#3 To hype up Superstar Shake-up
In case you are not aware of it, WWE will be hosting Superstar Shake-up on the next episodes of both RAW and SmackDown LIVE, where superstars from one brand may move to another.
Last year, SmackDown LIVE got superstars like Jeff Hardy, Samoa Joe, and the Miz, whereas RAW got the likes of Jinder Mahal, Kevin Owens, and Sami Zayn.
Similarly, this time also, we could see some huge names jumping ship to rival brands. These moves are really crucial since this is probably the last Superstar Shake-up before SmackDown LIVE's move to FOX network.
