WWE is doing another Superstar Shakeup – Predictions for who might move
So, it was announced tonight on SmackDown that there will be some sort of Superstar Shake-up heading into the debut of Raw on Netflix. While this was predictable—since we all know Netflix probably requested certain stars to appear on Raw—I’m still curious about where certain wrestlers will end up.
I don’t really care about who switches from Raw to SmackDown or vice versa, but I’m intrigued to see who might get called up to NXT or if any main roster wrestlers will be sent down to NXT.
Here are my predictions for who might move to the main roster during this Superstar Shake-up:
Roxanne Perez
This one feels obvious since it’s more than time for her to get called up. I wouldn’t be surprised if she drops the title to either Giulia or Stephanie and then gets drafted to SmackDown.
The Meta Girls
They’ve already had a few matches on SmackDown, and I think this was done to test if they’re ready for the main roster. I believe they are. Last week, Lady proved she could hang with main roster-level wrestlers, and the team did very well in tag action against Bianca and Jade.
Oba Femi
This guy has “superstar” written all over him. He’s shown how impressive he can be, especially for a big man, in such a short time. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up on Raw.
Gallus
Why not? Both shows need more tag teams, and Gallus has pretty much done everything they can on NXT.
Jacy Jayne and Gigi Dolin
The only reason I’m grouping them together is that I feel they might be called up as a team to try to recreate Toxic Attraction. At this point, it’s a make-or-break moment for them. They’ve been in the system for a long time, so they’ll either get called up or be released soon.
Wrestlers I think should be sent to NXT:
Apollo Crews
At this point, Apollo is either going to be released or sent to NXT to help elevate other talent. He really doesn’t have a place on the main roster right now.
Alpha Academy
Since they aren’t doing much on Raw aside from wrestling random matches on Main Event, sending them to NXT could add some star power to the tag division.
These are my thoughts on who might get called up from NXT or sent down to NXT. I didn’t include my picks for who will switch between Raw and SmackDown because, quite frankly, it doesn’t make that much of a difference.
