Superstar Shake-up: 3 superstars WWE need to book correctly going forward
After last night's SmackDown Live event, the WWE Superstar Shake-up 2019 comes to an end. Although they were very lukewarm shows right after WrestleMania (in my opinion) - both Raw and SmackDown, there's a lot of interesting things to look forward to as we move on.
First of all, let's look at the biggest acquisitions of both Raw and SmackDown Live.
For Raw, we got:
Aj Styles, Andrade, The Miz, Rey Mysterio, and Lacy Evans.
For SmackDown Live we got:
Roman Reigns, Finn Balor, Elias, Lars Sullivan, Bayley, Ember Moon.
All of the above are good acquisitions of both the red as well as the blue brands. What's even better is that all of them except The Miz and Rey Mysterio are superstars of the new era and something WWE needs to really book correctly.
Here are 3 talented superstars I personally think WWE needs to book/push correctly in order to build a better future for the company.
#1 Elias
Alright, let's face it. No matter how much people boo him, they can't fail to admit that everybody feels Elias' presence. That is saying a lot because there have been superstars in the past who even though had a great physique and had a knack for playing strong WWE characters, they couldn't impact the audience.
The biggest example for this would be Jindar Mahal, who completely transformed his personality, won the WWE Championship and gave his best, but the fans could never connect with him - even though he played a really good heel.
Something like that doesn't happen with Elias. Elias knows how to make his presence felt. He knows how to silence people, to make them listen to him. He also is really good inside the ring and can pull off some really cool maneuvers of his own.
In other words, he has the caliber of a main event superstar. Know what I mean? Since now he's on the blue brand, the land of opportunities, WWE needs to book him properly, and giving him a title reign by the end of the year would be exactly what SmackDown is looking for right now.
Thankfully, if tonight's SmackDown Live is any indication, then WWE is thinking along the same lines.
