Superstar Shakeup 2018: Analysing The Good and The Bad of it
We are now done with the latest edition of the Superstar Shakeup, and it is safe to say that both Raw and SmackDown Live have gone through complete makeovers, with each brand gaining 15+ new stars each, from the other brand as well as from NXT.
The landscape of both brands has changed considerably, but everything about the superstar shakeup was not quite well thought out, perhaps. Some decisions were questionable at best, and some downright surprising.
With that in mind, let's list out the good and bad of the Superstar Shakeup 2018.
Good: Exciting possibilities
The best thing about the Superstar Shakeup is the exciting new feuds and potential dream matches now becoming possible with the stars changing brands.
WWE has already teased one, by revealing that Daniel Bryan specifically requested that The Miz be swapped over to SmackDown so that he can pick his bones with the A-Lister.
Some other potential feuds include the likes of Samoa Joe taking on Shinsuke Nakamura, with both Superstars wrestling a hard-hitting style; Roman Reigns going up against Kevin Owens, who can lay claim to the Universal Title for which he never got a rematch after losing to Goldberg and many more.
One more storyline WWE additionally teased this past week was between Big Cass and Bryan. If carried out well, this can be another classic David vs Goliath storyline which can elevate Cass to the main event scene as a proper heel.
