4 decisions WWE got absolutely right in the Superstar Shake-up on RAW
WWE presented the first day of the Superstar Shake-up 2019 when RAW came live on April 15. We expected the world of WWE to turn upside-down - it did to an extent.
The company has had an injury crisis recently, with injuries to many big superstars. Moreover, megastars have threatened to leave the company. However, WWE has an awesome talent pool. Especially due to NXT and 205 Live, WWE is never short of backup options.
While the episode of RAW was nothing we'd refer to as explosive, it had its moments. The top picks for RAW may have been predictable, but WWE made some smart choices. Some correct moves happened, while the company refrained from drafts that'd not have been as smart.
Though there could be more drafts on WWE's website, we can be certain now which of the top SmackDown stars will not move to RAW.
In this article, we present 4 decisions that WWE got absolutely right in the Superstar Shake-up on WWE RAW.
#4 Jimmy and Jey Uso (The Usos) move to RAW
After defending their tag team titles in a Fatal-4-Way match at WrestleMania 35, The Usos lost their SmackDown Tag Team Championship to The Hardy Boyz on the last episode of SmackDown.
It was a surprising decision to have the tag team lose their titles 2 nights after their solid defense on the Show of Shows.
However, the decision seemed to have been made keeping the Superstar Shake-up in mind. And we expected The Usos may move to RAW to help rejuvenate the red brand's tag division. They certainly did. It was the right move to draft Jimmy and Jey Uso to RAW.
The brothers have done everything that's possible to do for a tag team on the blue brand. Along with New Day, they have stolen many shows and kept the flag soaring high for tag team wrestling.
It's about time they crossed over to help in increasing the depth of the red brand. Now, they have a job on their hands, possibly trying to revive tag team wrestling on RAW along with the likes of The Revival.
