5 Superstars who are sure to benefit from the Superstar Shakeup
WWE's latest edition of the Superstar Shakeup has brought a much-needed change to both Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live rosters, as some Superstars were traded between the brands, in addition to a handful of NXT call-ups.
Superstars like Dolph Ziggler, Samoa Joe, Jeff Hardy, among others switched brands and started new rivalries in their respective shows. NXT performers like Drew McIntyre, Andrade "Cien" Almas, and Ember Moon, among others were called up to the main roster.
Here we take a look at five wrestlers who will surely profit by the Superstar Shakeup. Some of them had become too stale in their current gimmick, and a revamp can have a give a huge boost to their careers.
#5 Big Cass
Big Cass first solo run against Enzo Amore was not a hit at all. WWE tried various angles to put Cass on an upper mid-card and even main-event level a few times, but all in vain. His push was short-lived, as a torn ACL sidelined him for around 7-8 months.
After making a fantastic comeback on SmackDown this Tuesday, Cass went straight for Daniel Bryan, and it looks that WWE might have some big plans in store for the 7-foot giant. His return was met with a huge pop from the crowd, and with a villainous persona, Cass can well become the next big thing in WWE. At just 30 years of age, Big Cass surely has a bright future in WWE and has the potential to be the next top heel in the company.
The best booking angle to achieve this can be him pairing up with The Miz and getting over as a bonafide heel with the WWE Universe.
