🔴 Raw Thread 4-16-2018: Superstar Shakeup night 1

Isn't asuka on smackdown now anyways?

I predict the main superstars Raw gets are Orton, Usos, Charlotte, Mahal, and Owens with maybe like scraps such as Mojo & Primo announced on WWE.com

Bayley or Sasha, are going to SDL. If both of them stay on RAW, then Alexa is headed back to SDL.

Either Braun or Elias, are headed to SDL. Both guys will be fine, and their stock will continue to rise.

The Good Brothers or Finn, will head to SDL. With Finn's new "acceptance" character, there's no need for this version of "The Club" any longer. Plus, GB could get a refreshed start on the blue brand.

Mandy or Sonya, will head to SDL. It's a win/win whoever goes (if it's Mandy, she can frienemy with Paige, adding to their already existent history. If it's Sonya, SDL will have it's own MMA'esque woman).

Bo or Axel, will head to SDL. Their partnership has to end at some point, and this could be their split.

And Curt Hawkins needs a new roster to put over lol, so he'll join SDL to KEEP THE STREAK ALIVE!!!!!

Becky Lynch is joining RAW. Based on the IIconics attack on Charlotte with no save by Becky or mention of her on commentary, the subtle distance could be an indication of this. Plus it feels like the right time for Becky to make the move.

Randy Orton or Bobby Roode, will join the RAW show. Not much else Randy can do on SDL, as he's already held all 3 titles. On the other hand, Roode can show up on RAW as a full fledged heel, where he's best suited.

Naomi or Nattie, will join RAW. I can see 'GLOW is RAW' as a thing. Thou Natalya on Monday nights, does sound good too.

Gable or Benjamin, will join RAW. All Shelton has done is put over talent, I'd like to see him get a final GOOD run, alone. Plus, imagine Gable & Angle confronting, or Benjamin & Angle backstage stuff.

Ruby Riot will head to RAW. She's too good not to; this splits the Riot Squad. Sarah can shine, while Liv will probably job out for now, since she recently got herself into some hot water with that script leak.

Rusev, Mojo, or Zack - one of them will head to RAW. The RuRu situation is up in the air, but the Aiden split's been teased. Zack would shine for a while, but his light would unfortunately die out. Mojo would benefit the most from this, if he moved to RAW.

The Usos will move to RAW. It's time for that change. Especially if Naomi goes, Jay will follow - and if Jay follows, so will Jim. And the WWE (despite their lack of booking sense), is not dumb enough to split one of their hottest commodities.

SANITY may end up on RAW, with those rumors from this past weekend.

ACA w/ Vega may end up on SDL.

If Kassius Ohno isn't brought up, I don't see him ever coming up to either main roster. More than likely would be for SDL.

going to raw tonight. first time going. been to house shows, a smackdown taping, and iyh:dx but never a raw, so i said screw it and bought tickets. hope its a good one

Here's what I would do,


RAW:
Baron Corbin
Becky Lynch
Chad Gable
Charlotte Flair
Dolph Ziggler
Kevin Owens
Natalya
The New Day
Randy Orton

Smackdown:
Braun Strowman
Dana Brooke
Finn Balor
Gallows & Anderson
Jeff Hardy
Mandy Rose
The Revival
Sami Zayn(as El Generico)
Sonya Deville


So you end up kind of with all of the big named women's talent on RAW and a the younger green talent on Smackdown lead by Carmella(Who should have a long reign as champion) & Naomi.As far as the main event talent RAW is still stacked with The Shield,Orton,Lashley,Owens,Miz,Joe,Ziggler..ect while Smackdown has Bryan,Styles,Hardy,Strowman,Nakamura,Roode..ect I would also call up Sanity and one of McIntrye,Almas,Ciampa or Gargano to go to smackdown as well.

As far as the tag team division after the split RAW would have Hardy/Wyatt,The Bar,The New Day,American Alpha & Authors of Pain as the main acts and Smackdown would have The Usos,The Revival,Harper & Rowan,Sanity & Gallows & Anderson.

Whatever happens, I'm sure Raw will come out on top.

maybe lashley goes to smackdown to dominate, same as for Strowman leaving raw to feud with Mahal instantly

Sonya Deville I feel is the only absolute lock. Just because I know they dont want an "mma girl" any where near the same show as Ronda.

They have really screwed up the idea of moving current champions (other than US and intercontinental), because of the blue and red color coating.
