I love the Shake-Up/Draft specials, but one thing I will never understand is why they don't just do it the night after WrestleMania?
All of the entire WWE roster is already there, and it could be used as a reboot every year. Not to mention that it is ridiculous that they plan matches for a month ahead of time knowing there are going to be roster moves, then everything just becomes confusing.

I know a lot of people aren't a fan of having this every year, but I think giving each brand a few new faces from NXT and giving guys that aren't up to much a new start on a different brand is a great way to freshen things up a bit and make it a bit more exciting heading into what is essentially the "start of a new season" in WWE like you say.
I guess having it a week after would give them a chance to wrap up any Mania feuds before switching brands. I think having NXT call ups, surprise returns and other new guys from opposing brand would be a bit much anyway. Plus, it gives us a reason to tune in next week. I'm already excited to see who's given the fresh start and we still have more NXT call ups to come tonight!

I'm fine with it being the second Raw coming off of WrestleMania. The Raw after Mania has become its own deal since 2012 and really shouldn't be bogged down by a gimmick like the shakeup or the draft imo. If you think about it from a ratings perspective, you get two big shows back-to-back instead of combining a big ratings draw in the draft into an episode of Raw that everyone already watches by default in the Raw after Mania.
I'm ready for a shakeup. Smackdown needs it and Raw has way too much talent. Big Cass, Jason Jordan, Drew McIntyre and Dean Ambrose are all still out, too. I'm guessing we'll see Almas, the Iconic duo and potentially Sanity all come up tonight, as well. So the talent pool is massive. Brock holding the title is probably going to feel like a bigger handcuff now more than ever for that reason alone. So it's hard for me to say who should be switched because nobody going to Raw is going to improve their situation imo, especially after interjecting Lashley into the mix.
I'd like to see Samoa Joe go to Smackdown and win the WWE Title. Other than that move I don't really have anything specifically I'd like to see, beyond stuff like Roode turning heel, which can happen on either show. I think Rollins and Jinder definitely switch shows. The women are wide open. I can't say there is anything in particular I need to see with them. I think we're getting really close to the point where they could justify women's tag titles. Mickie and Alexa, Liv and Logan, Rose and Deville, the Iconic Duo, any combination of the 4 Horsewomen, Ronda and Shayna, and then there is always the Bellas. So if they really wanted to go that route, they could divide the rosters around it.

I would like to see Joe go to SDL but I think it is a forgone conclusion that Miz is going to back to SDL. They have to have him there just for the Bryan feud, plus he is out of matchups on RAW.
Raw really needs heels. I can see them moving Corbin over with Roode (who they should turn heel on RAW) in exchange for The Miz and a top face which SD needs. Raw is definitely getting the Usos and another tag team as well. This shakeup should be good.

I think some major changes that need to happen are... - Finn Bálor to SmackDown because he has been lacking on Raw and it also gives us chances to see Finn in the world title scene and against opponents like Nakamura & Styles again. - any tag team to SmackDown because the SmackDown tag team divison feels small and kind of repetetive now. I think the Bar, Good Brothers or The Revival would be a good choice to go to SmackDown.

RAW: Baron Corbin Big E Chad Gable Dolph Ziggler Kevin Owens Kofi Kingston Natalya Randy Orton Sami Zayn Xavier Woods
Smackdown: Bayley Braun Strowman Dash Wilder Finn Balor Jeff Hardy Karl Anderson Luke Gallows Sasha Banks Scott Dawson
Something like this and have Smackdown also get Sanity,Andrea Almas,Ciampa or McIntrye and returning star like Rey Mysterio.
RAW would still be loaded with talent but Smackdown would have some big names with Styles,Bryan,Hardy,Balor...ect to carry the brand and a lot of fresh blood with the call ups.

Yeah I think both tag divsions lack to be honest, WWE need more than like 4 teams to make a believable division so maybe as those teams go to SmackDown, Raw could have TM61, Sanity and maybe a reformed Lucha Dragons or Blake & Murphy (I wish they were still a team ☹️). SmackDown does need new women though, I agree. I think NXT’s Iconic Duo could be a nice addition to the division, and maybe someone like Sasha Banks or Bayley from Raw.

I don't get why you all want half of each roster to swap at once.
Too many changes and it will feel like no change at all.
