Honestly the idea of a Superstar Shake-up in 2018 does appeal to me. However on the slight chance that it does happen, what do you want to see happen? For all we know WWE could decide to keep the brands as they are and decide not to do it. Which RAW superstars/divas do you see going to Smackdown Live? Which Smackdown Live superstars do you see going to RAW?

I would say put Randy Orton on Raw. I'd love to see him fight Samoa Joe.

I would rather AJ Styles go to RAW and why I say that? AJ Styles has been on Smackdown Live ever since the split and with him on the A show on Team Red on the red brand he could have newer, fresher feuds but also AJ Styles can have a much better singles run on RAW by putting on 5 star matches
And in his place on Smackdown Live to fill that void I would have Finn Balor on Smackdown Live...Balor either as himself or as The Demon King he can fill in that void of the #1 babyface on that brand quite easily
Plus Balor his character would fit right in on Smackdown Live and he would have better opportunities championship wise

AJ Styles should be a stalwart on Smackdown.

Nothing crazy as I hate swapping rosters every year, but SDL desperately needs help.
Raw gets Jinder, Owens and Gable
SDL gets Rollins, Joe and Neville (if he comes back)

If you say AJ Styles should be a stalwart on Smackdown Live then I agree with that up to a point...I only agree that he should stay on Smackdown Live because that would be a personal preference but then again he has been on Smackdown Live ever since the brand split happened back in 2016 so for fresher matches I could see him on RAW
Plus with Seth Rollins him on the blue brand makes total sense given that he has been an institution on RAW ever since his debut in 2012 so him being on Smackdown Live can actually help restart his career as far as fresher match ups
As for Broken Matt Hardy if Hardy does get the gimmick and the rights that come with it then Broken Matt Hardy should be on Smackdown Live and why? With him on RAW knowing creative on RAW they would mess up his character and on Smackdown Live he would have better opportunities

For 2018, there are a few changes Iâd like to make on the day after WrestleMania.
First things first, make 205 Live the 2nd hour of NXT. Itâs on the WWE Network anyway. They may as well give Wednesday to the future. NXT live at 8:00 PM and 205 Live live at 9:00 PM. The future is now!!
Next, make Smackdown 3 hours. Since my plan is to move 205 Live, they may as well treat Smackdown exactly like Raw. Plus the argument used to not take away the 3rd hour of Raw can be used to give a 3rd hour to Smackdown, ad revenue. More air time equals more money.
With all that being said, hereâs my 2018 draft.
Raw gets from Smackdown all former World Champions: AJ Styles Bobby Roode Chris Jericho Dolph Ziggler Jinder Mahal John Cena Kevin Owens Randy Orton Shinsuke Nakamura
Raw gets from NXT all former World Champions: Adam Cole Drew McIntyre Eric Young Kyle O'Reilly Roderick Strong
Smackdown gets from Raw all those who havenât won the Big One or any Big One for that matter: Apollo Crews Big Cass Bo Dallas Braun Strowman Cesaro Curt Hawkins Curtis Axel Dash Wilder Elias Goldust Heath Slater Jason Jordan Karl Anderson Luke Gallows Scott Dawson Titus O'Neil
Smackdown gets from NXT all those who have won a Championship in NXT or the major independents, but havenât won the Big One or any Big One for that matter: Akam Alexander Wolfe Bobby Fish Buddy Murphy Hideo Itami Johnny Gargano Kassius Ohno Killian Dain Pete Dunne Rezar Tommaso Ciampa Tyler Bate Wesley Blake
This will give Raw all the proven commodities. The regular roster will be smaller, but this creates space for guest appearances from Hall Of Famers and Legends and even celebrities.
This will give Smackdown a deep roster to work with and develop the Stars who arenât exactly ârookiesâ, but arenât exactly âseason veteransâ. Itâs the perfect place for those that are âaboveâ NXT, but âbelowâ Raw.
This will give NXT / 205 Live room to bring in more future talents. This would be a great place for Total Non-stop Action Impact Global Force Ring Of Honor New Japan Pro Wrestling Stars who want get into the Federation.
As for the female SuperStars, hereâs how I would draft them.
Raw gets from Smackdown all former Raw / Smackdown Womenâs Champions: Becky Lynch Charlotte Flair Naomi Natalya Nikki Bella
Smackdown gets from Raw all those who havenât won todayâs Big Ones (Raw / Smackdown Womenâs Championship Title) and those who have won the older, now retired Big Ones (WWE Womenâs / Divas Championship Title): Asuka Dana Brooke Mickie James Paige Nia Jax
This again will give Raw all of todayâs the proven commodities.
This again will give Smackdown the Stars who arenât exactly ârookiesâ, but arenât exactly âseason veteransâ together with WWE Legends who can show them a thing or three. Itâs the perfect place for those that are âaboveâ NXT, but âbelowâ Raw, to learn from those who have been to the mountain top.
Well, if things donât go the way I want them to go, Iâll just use this format for my WWE 2K18 Universe. HAHA!!

Trade Balor/Neville for Owens/Zayn as I think that's a very even trade. Balor needs a change of scenery. Neville gets aw chance to prove himself outside of the CW division. Owens & Zayn get away from Shane.
Trade The Club for Gable/Shelton. Then they can do a story where JJ is pleading with Gable to take him back. He's reluctant because he's found success with Shelton. After some going back and forth, Gable realigns with Jordan to reform a heel American Alpha. This also gets Balor/AJ/The Club on the same show. Turn Balor heel (align with the Club) and let him feud with AJ & Nakamura.
Trade Nia for Becky. Both need a fresh start. Becky can feud with Paige, Sasha, & Asuka. While Nia can dominate SD and feud with Charlotte.
That's only 5 for 5. And I think if handled correctly, could reinvigorate both shows.

I would do something like this,
RAW: Randy Orton Kevin Owens Jinder Mahal Baron Corbin Sami Zayn Shelton Benjamin Chad Gable Carmella Naomi
Smackdown: Finn Balor Samoa Joe Neville Luke Gallows Karl Anderson Scott Dawson Dash Wilder Sasha Banks Bayley
Then the call ups from NXT would be McIntrye,AOP,Moon & Lars Sullivan.With McIntrye and Moon going to RAW and AOP & Sullivan going to Smackdown.

Rollins on SDL and feuding with AJ over the WWE Title would be great.
âThe Architectâ looks to renovate âthe house that AJ built.â You can tease heel turns for both of em until Rollins finally turns on AJ (AJ works better as a face while Rollins works better as a heel IMO).
