I had a conversation about this the other day, I couldn't believe the amount of people that liked the term sports entertainment. How stupid. It's wrestling always has been always will be
And a tournament, a tag team eliminator. Who the fuck would associate these dumbass terms as what they suppose to mean? Vince, you inept fuck of a businessman! Still love you tho.
sports entertainment devalues the art form and makes it seem like weekly TV which is what it is in the united states unfortunately. Pro Wrestling carries with it the connotation of in ring storytelling whereas sports entertainment implies shitty comedy and melodramatic segments. Its not a bloody soap opera
Nak goes to RAW. He has some good feuds as a heel. He wins MITB with the help of Paul Heyman. Slowly turns face by Survivor Series. AJ meanwhile has awesome feuds against Rollins etc. AJ loses WWE Title to Bobby Roode at Royal Rumble. Daniel Bryan wins the Rumble and goes to challenge for the Universal title. Shinsuke cashes in on Bobby Roode and turns back heel. AJ Keeps winning matches and EC and we get AJ vs Nak 2 for the title at WM35.
Akshya Dulal Seth Rollins has been better than Nakamura and Styles in 2018. Rollins was better than Nakamura in 2017 I don’t know what you talking about
ctgstudios421 Champions stay in place as is evident having a Universal Championship being red. That being said, just move completion. Orton and Bobby go to Raw for Seth's title while Jinder gets Jeff, Braun and Elias.
Leather Hitman You some kind of idiot? I didn’t say anything about the main titles, i know they’re not changing. I’m talking about the midcard titles that literally just switched brands the last shakeup
crashpal it fits Raw better tbh. I feel the US title is a hard title to put on someone cuz it feels too much like a gimmick. The IC title is built as the title that prepares you for the world title
Superstar Shakeup Predictions Main Roster: To Raw: Jinder Mahal Charlotte Naomi The New Day Sin Cara Dolph Ziggler Zack Ryder Ruby Riott Sarah Logan Tye Dillinger To Smackdown: Seth Rollins Bayley Alicia Fox The Club Goldust The Miz The Miztourage Mandy Rose Sonya Deville Finn Balor From NXT: Due to Raw getting so many from NXT I only see them getting 1 person Raw:Drew McIntyre Smackdown: SAnity(Nikki Cross,Eric Young,Alexander Wolfe & Killian Dain) Andrade “Cien” Almas with Zelina Vega
Kyle Beesley Forgot Ryder and Hawkins coming back together. Whichever brand it doesn't matter as long as Mojo's there to play the jealous ex tag-team partner
I also have a problem with Andrade “Cien” Almas going to raw especially with so many Raw Call Ups On Raw also Luke putting Dana Brooke on Smackdown with Sonya Deville and no big women coming to Smackdown
I met the Colons at my gym once when a house show came through. They were coming in as I was leaving the weight room and I said "hey aren't you WWE guys?" Yah we are. "Right on, I recognized one of you". Totally burnt Epico by accident.
Nope. Titus and him go to Smackdown and get the tag-team gold while in the process the United States Championship. After Jeff becomes Grandslam champ, Elias takes it off of him and looses to Apollo later.
Apollo should have a heel turn and just be a cocky heel that thinks he just too good at what he does, with the smirk and the athletic ability he could be a great heel
People complained about Apollo's perma-smile, but that's all you need. Babyface: smiles through anything while getting fired up. Heel: smiles a deranged smile all while beating his opponent senseless. Simple but effective. What do y'all think?
FUN FACT: The Undertaker, in character, has the first name 'Kane' but Vince once said "Nobody could get over with that name." so they only used it a few times in the early part of his career.
Ethan Fisher Yes. But when Rollins was the champ in 2015, WWE had terrible Tv ratings. Rollins might be more loved by the hardcore and smarky fans like us, but the casuals who watch WWE at home prefers Reigns over him.
Clark Miller Roman's being forced, Dean's a mid-carder at best and Seth seems the better choice. Let alone makes sense to send Braun over to Smackdown with Bray pairing with Matt. Jeff's bound to move.
NXT had Bobby Roode, Samoa Joe and Shinsuke Nakamura, but you think it's a great idea to put EC3 on the main roster? WHAT. Greatest idea ever. Almost like when Mike Kanellis appeared on the main roster and skipped NXT.
Leather Hitman Agree AoP belong on Raw their tag team division is lacking compared to Smackdown. Imagine at Survivor Series Raw vs Smackdown tag team champ match Bludgeon Brothers vs AoP that would be carnage!
From Raw to Smackdown: Braun Strowman, Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, Gallows & Anderson, Alexa Bliss, Asuka From Smackdown to Raw: Baron Corbin, Big E (I have a hypothesis here), Jinder Mahal, Rusev, Aiden English, Charlotte Flair, Lana Hypothesis: Big E arrives on Raw, finds No Way Jose, gets him to join him as a team thus making a second New Day team.
My picks made this past weekend: To Smackdown: • Seth Rollins • Big Cass • The Miz • Curt Hawkins • The Revival • Asuka • Bayley • Sonya Deville -------------------- To Raw: • Jinder Mahal • Baron Corbin • Dolph Ziggler • Tye Dillinger • Fandango • The Usos • Naomi • Becky Lynch
Raw: Bobby Roode Randy Orton Becky Lynch Naomi Usos Barron Corbin Sami Zayn Chad Gable Shinsuké Nakamura Breezango Natalya Kevin O. Kofi Kingston (?) Sheamus (?) Ruby Riot Smackdown: Finn Balor Appolo & Titus Braun Strowman Jeff Hardy SaNity Mickie James Asuka Mandy Rose Anderson & Gallows Samoa Joe Elias Johnny "Mr. 5-Star" Gargano Cien Almas Xavier Woods and Big E (?) Big Cass Alicia Fox Cesaro (?)
I think the only chance of call ups in the mix for the shake up is if they transfer more stars from one brand and want it to ease that pain by throwing in a callup or two. Which means the call ups would all be to one brand, most likely Smackdown.
They probably don't send experienced talent down to NXT for that specific talent's benefit, in some cases. Asuka, for example, was kept in NXT waaaay longer than *she* needed to be there, because all the girls were benefiting massively from working and training with her. In the case of EC3, he's someone who was in NXT years back, has a lot of experience now, so he's probably going to be used more to give a low-key 'rub' to some of the talent there than because *he* needs it.
Xavier Woods wouldn’t survive on his own, he needs to have a partner. Big E is capable of being a solo athlete and has great mic skills, I think he would do quite well on RAW and could create cool feuds and interesting title runs. He is in great form and should be going for the IC or possibly the Universal Title! And the crowd love him!
My predictions RAW Randy Orton Dolph Ziggler Baron Corbin Jinder mahal Charlotte The bludgeon brothers Becky lynch Smackdown Seth Rollins The miz Finn balor Gallanderson Bayley Sasha banks
Luke Bower good match with Nia? charlotte just got inserted with a feud with Carmella and the iiconics.. Asuka Can go to smackdown.. and Ronda can be a free agent or Win Next years Royal Rumble
I think they should involve NXT with the shake up, in which smackdown and raw superstars can give vet experience to the new talent plus freshen up their character to get them the push with the help of the NXT universe, I feel send down Shelton Benjamin and Dolph Ziggler from smackdown and R truth, and Apollo (I know Apollo is still fairly new) but he has no personality and he needs to build a personality to create structures with his character, Lukes smackdown card is brilliant and I agree with the raw midcard cause some can bring new life in their character like goldust and mike kanellis if the creative team lets them have a bit of control and let them be themselves. Oli’s raw main card is good like a typical Vince main eventers, but introducing Jeff hardy and bringing back orton into it would show off the athleticism and depth in storylines not just Brock/Roman/Braun with their “Hulk Smash attitude” loved the ramble as always. Great stuff.
Women: SD to Raw: Becky Lynch, Naomi Raw to SD: Asuka, Sonya Deville, Mandy Rose Tag teams: SD to Raw: The Usos, Breezango Raw to SD: The Club, The Revival Midcard SD to Raw: Jinder Mahal, Bobby Roode, Baron Corbin, Big E (breaking New Day) Raw to SD: Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, Big Cass Main eventers: SD to Raw: Randy Orton Raw to SD: Jeff Hardy NXT callups: Sanity to Raw Kassius Ohno to Smackdown Drew McIntyre to Smackdown
To Raw -Chad Gable -Tye Dillinger -Randy Orton -Naomi -Tamina -Rusev -Becky Lynch To Smackdown -Roman Reigns -The Bar -Jason Jordan -Cedric Alexander (and CW Division) -Mickie James -Bayley -Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas
I would have the entire tag division (Bludgeon Brothers, Usos, New Day, Revival, Colons, American Beta, Authors of Pain and Galanderson) on Smackdown and the entire women's division on Raw. Becuase we have co-branded PPVs now, I would have Styles vs. Roman/Lesnar in a unification match at Backlash for the top title where he is on both shows. Other changes will be: Smackdown gets Colin Cassidy, Seth Rollins (IC Champ), Finn Balor, Sheamus, Apollo and Rhyno Raw gets Baron Corbin, Bobby Roode, Jinder Mahal (US Champ), Fandango, Mojo Rawley and Konnor
Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston to Raw.... Big E solo push on Smackdown is MONEY. Big E is a future main event player. We've seen hints of Big E when he gets angry/passionate and it was amazing. Xavier and Kofi creates an immediate upper tier tag team for Raw and Big E starts his slow build towards the main event on Raw starting with a few low tier feuds and possibly picking up the IC belt off Jinder at Survivor Series for example.
From SD to RAW: Randy Orton, New Day, Becky, Natalya, Naomi (maybe one of the Riott Squad), Ascension, Breezango, Dillinger, Bobby Roode, Baron Corbin, Rusev Day, Ziggler From RAW to SD: The Miz, The Bar, The Club, Slater & Rhyno, Sasha, Bayley, Elias I do not think there are calls from NXT, but if so, I hope that Andrade with Zelina and Sanity go to SDL at least.
raw predictions after shakeup women’s. ronda rousey, asuka, nia jax, ember moon, naomi, alexa bliss, natalya, mandy rose, sonya deville tag team’s. the usos, authors of pain, bray wyatt & matt hardy, chad gable & shelton benjamin, the revival, heath slater & rhyno mid card. kevin owens, sami zayn, neville, big cass, jason jordan, sheamus, elias, no way jose main card. roman reigns, braun strowman, bobby lashley, seth rollins, samoa joe, dean ambrose, brock lesnar (part time)
I like when they shorten names, it makes the name sound much better since as it is most names are fake and makes the wrestlers feel like a big deal. That was a big deal in attitude era for me. All these cool names like Rock, Triple H, Raven, Tazz, Mankind, Kane, Undertaker. In the modern era, short names like Ricochet and CM Punk stand out more
Perfect. Let Raw have all the big guys, reigns, Lesnar, Strowman, Samoa Joe, Lashley, and Batista. SmackDown gets all the smaller guys, Styles, Nakamura, Daniel Bryan, Jeff Hardy, Finn Balor, Seth Rollins, and Rey Mysterio.
My Shake Up Baron Corbin - Finn Balor Randy Orton - Samoa Joe Bobby Rhoode - Elias Gable and Benjamin - The Revival Mike Kannelis W Maria - Goldust Becky Lynch - Asuka Natalya - Sonya Deville Titus O Neil - No Way Jose Back Up Switches Zack Ryder - R Truth Titus World Wide - Fandango, Sin Cara and Sara Logan Randy Orton - Braun STROWMAN Xzavier Woods - Big Cass
You guys have got me excited for the Shake Up (Draft). I want to see Rollins and Ambrose feud so I want them to stay on the same brand, not that Rollins needs it. Neville coming back as a hard bitten baby face would be awesome and finally, although I don't think it will happen, I would love to see The Usos, Samoa Joe and Roman Reigns OR at least Joe and Reigns, form a Samoan heal faction (something akin to the Nation of Domination) . They would be a good foil for Braun Strowman, Lashley and Lesnar if he sticks around (separately of course)
Another reason Jeff would go to smackdown would be that Jeff has to go to court on Monday so why would they have him return one week then not be there next week
I’m actually doing the same with Xavier Woods on my universe where I’ve split the new day and went with Xavier Woods as a singles competitor kind of like a Johnny Gargano, so good call Oli!
Roxie Rocket Agree about Banks and Bayley. Naomi, I'm on the fence about and just bc Becky gets moved to RAW doesn't mean she'll recieve a better push. I think she should stay on SD and continue to develop her character there. Just needs better booking and it can happen where she is, with a simple change in writing.
My Picks: Mickey James > SDL Charlotte > RAW Absolution > SDL Riott Squad > RAW Asuka > SDL Natalya > RAW Dana Brooke > Smackdown New Day > Raw Heath & Rhyno > SDL Usos > Raw Titus Worldwide > SDL Randy Orton > Raw Goldust > SDL Shinsuke Nakamura > Raw Curt Hawkins > SDL Corbin > Raw R-Truth > SDL Daniel Bryan > RAW Big Show > SDL Zayne > RAW If you notice a pattern, you're probably right, and it's probably intentional
My Trades/Call ups From Raw to Smackdown: Samoa Joe Fin Balor The Club Seth Rollins Sasha Banks Bayley Asuka TJP Sanity - Call Up Kassius Ono - Call Up Hideo & Tozawa as a Tag Team From Smackdown to Raw: Bobby Rhoode Randy Orton Jhinder Mahal Bollywood Boys Cien Almas - Call up Naomi Sarah Logan Tamina Lana Mojo Rawley American Beta (Shelton & Gable) Rusev Day
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think woods is the least popular of the new day when not thinking of upupdowndown. So he deserves a singles run. If Rollins stays ic champ. They could have a good match with a serious/ silly blend for Xavier.
From SDL to RAW: Randy Orton Bobby Roode Baron Corbin Jinder Mahal Breezango Benjamin/Gable, Naomi and Becky Lynch. From RAW to SDL: Seth Rollins Finn Balor Big Cass Elias The Revival The Club Bayley and Sonya Deville
I think some of the guys start in NXT because it was their preference. Presumably, this would be because they want to start on the more wrestling "centric" show under the guise of HHH. This was definitely the case with Samoa Joe and Bobby Roode.

Hey guys what you think about miz staying on raw to win MITB, at survivor series there's a champion vs champion match like last year. The universal champion is joe or lesnar etc, who beats Daniel Bryan narrowly in a great match. Miz comes out and cashes out on Bryan in a swerve, moving to SD in the process. This builds to Bryan winning the rumble leading to a main event at mania!
just some predictions: Daniel bryan, usos, corbin, randy orton, tye, mojo OR zack ryder, becky lynch, nattie, ziggler to RAW//// Finn balor, revival, jeff hardy, titus, Braun, bailey, sonya deville, asuka, to smackdown
My trades Braun StrowmanRandy Orton Seth RollinsJinder Mahal Usos Gallows and Anderson The Fashion FilesThe Revival Kofi KingstonJeff Hardy Baron CorbinGoldust Tye DillingerApollo Cruz Not all of my picks are even nor do they make sense, it just would make the rosters a little more interesting.

They can fix Asuka's loss next year.. have her not lose again until next year, along with Charlotte eventually regaining the title, however you wanna book that, and not losing it until this event also (Or could use Ronda Rousey really if you see her staying undefeated until then). And simply asuka takes her down for the title in almost a Cena v Rock kind of situation, only more important.
I say Charlotte just for the story line, but Asuka v Rousey could be much more fast and fun, maybe not as technical but definitely fast paced and the crowd would be so with it.
Raw to SD (Singles): Big Cass, Jeff Hardy, Neville, The Miz, Mickie James, Asuka. SD to Raw (Singles): Becky Lynch, Randy Orton, Chad Gable (spliting American Beta) NXT to SD: Kassius Ohno. Raw/SD to NXT: Mojo Rawley, Mike Kanellis-Bennett, Apollo & Dana Brooke w/Titus. Raw to SD (Tag Teams): The Club (Gallows/Anderson) SD to Raw (Tag Teams): Breezango or Uso's (or None by shock)
SMACKDOWN to RAW... Rusev, Charlotte, Usos, Becky Lynch, Daniel Bryan. New Day (Big E left on SD.) RAW to SMACKDOWN... BALOR CLUB, Asuka, Mickie James, Cesoro and Revival.
When i heard about draft and after i saw the last smackdown episode i had a thought about the Fatal four way match and everything Btwn Aj Vs Bryan Vs Balor Vs Nakamura .... Happy that Oli too thinks that'll be great ... Anybody in the world would love to see that match
NXT GM, Raw GM, Smackdown GM, & 205 GM on both shows. Dolph to NXT. Eric Young to Smackdown. Wolfe to Raw. Cross to Smackdown. Mojo to NXT. Corbin to Raw. Cass to Smackdown. Breeze to 205.

She ain't even Latino, she was Lithuanian
Michael Rivera Lithuanian
Tashiv Govender oh yeah I forgot lol but def not hispanic lol
MrWisdoman flagged
They call wrestling, Sports Entertainment...
They call the crowd, the WWE Universe...
And they call a draft, a bloody Superstar Shakeup... 😂😂
don't forget they call house shows "Live Events".
I had a conversation about this the other day, I couldn't believe the amount of people that liked the term sports entertainment. How stupid. It's wrestling always has been always will be
And a tournament, a tag team eliminator. Who the fuck would associate these dumbass terms as what they suppose to mean? Vince, you inept fuck of a businessman! Still love you tho.
That make sense lol
sports entertainment devalues the art form and makes it seem like weekly TV which is what it is in the united states unfortunately. Pro Wrestling carries with it the connotation of in ring storytelling whereas sports entertainment implies shitty comedy and melodramatic segments. Its not a bloody soap opera
Hope they dont break Nakamura aj and bryan best thing going in wwe
Nak goes to RAW. He has some good feuds as a heel. He wins MITB with the help of Paul Heyman. Slowly turns face by Survivor Series. AJ meanwhile has awesome feuds against Rollins etc. AJ loses WWE Title to Bobby Roode at Royal Rumble. Daniel Bryan wins the Rumble and goes to challenge for the Universal title. Shinsuke cashes in on Bobby Roode and turns back heel. AJ Keeps winning matches and EC and we get AJ vs Nak 2 for the title at WM35.
which means they will draft nakamura to raw
Morgan Freeman's long lost nephew tats good but i wanna see..a triple threat...badly
Akshya Dulal Seth Rollins has been better than Nakamura and Styles in 2018. Rollins was better than Nakamura in 2017 I don’t know what you talking about
Bryan will end up on raw I reckon
THREE THINGS I NEED:
1. Don’t break up AJ/Naka/Bryan
2. Jeff Hardy to SD Live
3. Swap Jinder and Seth
ctgstudios421 Champions stay in place as is evident having a Universal Championship being red. That being said, just move completion. Orton and Bobby go to Raw for Seth's title while Jinder gets Jeff, Braun and Elias.
Leather Hitman You some kind of idiot? I didn’t say anything about the main titles, i know they’re not changing. I’m talking about the midcard titles that literally just switched brands the last shakeup
Jeff hardy to smackdown 👌👌. What do you all think, isn't it great?
Akshit Kumar best option I think for Jeff
yea,matt nd bray too
Akshit Kumar yeah..
Deny Wijaya I don't think this will happen. I think they will win the tag titles and remain on raw
Another WWE Championship run and Grandslam like they did RKO giving him the U.S title. Maybe from a split Cesaro whose currently champion?
I think it was Miz coming out with Cena's music dressed up like him and then Ambrose came out acting like he thought it was Cena and Nikki
I LOVE WRESTLE RAMBLE !!!!
If Xavier Woods swapped over, and paired with Apollo, I think that would give Apollo personality that is missing. Elias to Smackdown would be great.
Both of them forgot about Elias and Ziggler! 😂
Both of them can kinda work anywhere though. That's their quality honestly, they don't carry that much, but they add a splash of color to any event.
Rollins to SmackDown
Jinder to Raw
Negan that's a fair trade
IC title will be treated well on SD
Hxnock it always did. And United States title seemed better on raw too
crashpal it fits Raw better tbh. I feel the US title is a hard title to put on someone cuz it feels too much like a gimmick. The IC title is built as the title that prepares you for the world title
crashpal the u.s title was debut on smackdown all those years ago and I feel the u.s title is apart of smackdowns identity in a way.
CUE THE JINGLE!
Want wrestling talk from dudes who're jolly?
Guess it's time for Luke & Oli!

Andrade “Cien” Almas with Zelina Vega
Kyle Beesley Forgot Ryder and Hawkins coming back together. Whichever brand it doesn't matter as long as Mojo's there to play the jealous ex tag-team partner
Daaaaamn They just completely ignored/forgot about the new champ Carmella when talking about the Womens Division 😂😂😂
I also have a problem with Andrade “Cien” Almas going to raw especially with so many Raw Call Ups On Raw also Luke putting Dana Brooke on Smackdown with Sonya Deville and no big women coming to Smackdown
I met the Colons at my gym once when a house show came through. They were coming in as I was leaving the weight room and I said "hey aren't you WWE guys?" Yah we are. "Right on, I recognized one of you". Totally burnt Epico by accident.
Rich Born haha
Rich Born my daughter does karate with their nephew. they are pretty cool guys. very laid back and approachable.
Apollo is an Unreal Athlete they just need to work out a better Character maybe a Heel turn
WIKDPISAKIX he smiles too much 😂
+marcus flint cough Finn Balor cough cough
Nope. Titus and him go to Smackdown and get the tag-team gold while in the process the United States Championship. After Jeff becomes Grandslam champ, Elias takes it off of him and looses to Apollo later.
Love these quickfire episodes, keep up the great work lads.
Atlast wrestle ramble is back
Bayley will get draft to smackdown to join carmella, saw her interview on raw last week baymella is back.
Baymella no carmella needs to go to raw while Alexa comes to Smackdown
crashpal right, except Carmella is the Smackdown women's champion.
Kit Palmer Not to mention, Bliss doesn't need to be moved right now either. Maybe the next Shake-Up, she could make a return to SDLive..
Well.. you were wrong
Apollo should have a heel turn and just be a cocky heel that thinks he just too good at what he does, with the smirk and the athletic ability he could be a great heel
People complained about Apollo's perma-smile, but that's all you need. Babyface: smiles through anything while getting fired up. Heel: smiles a deranged smile all while beating his opponent senseless. Simple but effective. What do y'all think?
FUN FACT: The Undertaker, in character, has the first name 'Kane' but Vince once said "Nobody could get over with that name." so they only used it a few times in the early part of his career.
I just Finshed the post Smackdown Wrestle Ramble then I got this notification. WONDERFUL
Luke, Baron Corbin cannot tag team with Mojo Rawley... He is the Lone Wolf!
It's still a draft to me...!
For Apollo maybe a better manager Bring Paul Ellering to make a faction
Anyone else feel like Rollins should be “the guy” not Roman
Ethan Fisher
Yes. But when Rollins was the champ in 2015, WWE had terrible Tv ratings.
Rollins might be more loved by the hardcore and smarky fans like us, but the casuals who watch WWE at home prefers Reigns over him.
Clark Miller I could agree on that I’m just a Rollins guy
Clark Miller Roman's being forced, Dean's a mid-carder at best and Seth seems the better choice. Let alone makes sense to send Braun over to Smackdown with Bray pairing with Matt. Jeff's bound to move.
If you could pick anyone to be 'the guy' who would it be?
I liked it years ago when they made it look random ... now it’s like an agreement between the gms lol
Tesssa I agree, I miss the old draft as well + I feel like back then, the draft was more surprising than the superstar shakeup.
Jamieb1994 see and that’s the reason why it’s really no longer called a draft lol
Luke's SmackDown is so damn good! I love it!
Love the idea of Smackdown having a sort of indie type main event scene with just overall the top in ring acts.
NXT had Bobby Roode, Samoa Joe and Shinsuke Nakamura, but you think it's a great idea to put EC3 on the main roster? WHAT. Greatest idea ever. Almost like when Mike Kanellis appeared on the main roster and skipped NXT.
The episode was too short -.- lol. That was great, thanks. I'm always excited to see who's picks were correct.
I was hoping Sanity were going to join Smackdown maybe theres still a chance they will this week
Mrmuscom Definitely. If AoP went to Raw, we'll see SaNity on SD.
Leather Hitman Agree AoP belong on Raw their tag team division is lacking compared to Smackdown. Imagine at Survivor Series Raw vs Smackdown tag team champ match Bludgeon Brothers vs AoP that would be carnage!
From Raw to Smackdown: Braun Strowman, Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, Gallows & Anderson, Alexa Bliss, Asuka
From Smackdown to Raw: Baron Corbin, Big E (I have a hypothesis here), Jinder Mahal, Rusev, Aiden English, Charlotte Flair, Lana
Hypothesis: Big E arrives on Raw, finds No Way Jose, gets him to join him as a team thus making a second New Day team.

My favourite part was Oli saying 'I Swear down bruv' hahaha
I think the only chance of call ups in the mix for the shake up is if they transfer more stars from one brand and want it to ease that pain by throwing in a callup or two. Which means the call ups would all be to one brand, most likely Smackdown.
This is what I needed, lads!
Did anything happen with the mania vs predictions? Punishment for losing?
They probably don't send experienced talent down to NXT for that specific talent's benefit, in some cases. Asuka, for example, was kept in NXT waaaay longer than *she* needed to be there, because all the girls were benefiting massively from working and training with her. In the case of EC3, he's someone who was in NXT years back, has a lot of experience now, so he's probably going to be used more to give a low-key 'rub' to some of the talent there than because *he* needs it.
"After I said to do it this way" great stuff
Xavier Woods wouldn’t survive on his own, he needs to have a partner. Big E is capable of being a solo athlete and has great mic skills, I think he would do quite well on RAW and could create cool feuds and interesting title runs. He is in great form and should be going for the IC or possibly the Universal Title! And the crowd love him!
Kevin Owens could be a masked wrestler too ,dub him "El Común", "Señor Lucha", etc. 🤷🏿♂️
My predictions
RAW
Randy Orton
Dolph Ziggler
Baron Corbin
Jinder mahal
Charlotte
The bludgeon brothers
Becky lynch
Smackdown
Seth Rollins
The miz
Finn balor
Gallanderson
Bayley
Sasha banks
Luke Bower so both tag champs will be on raw?
why would charlotte leave SD.. Carmella will be protected by the Iiconics
Troy Jackson no the usos regain the titles at grr
The Elite so she can have good matches with nia jax asuka and Ronda rousey
Luke Bower good match with Nia? charlotte just got inserted with a feud with Carmella and the iiconics.. Asuka Can go to smackdown.. and Ronda can be a free agent or Win Next years Royal Rumble
3:53 Oli realizes he's been bamboozled
Apollo and Bobby as a tag team would be a good idea for the moment
I think they should involve NXT with the shake up, in which smackdown and raw superstars can give vet experience to the new talent plus freshen up their character to get them the push with the help of the NXT universe, I feel send down Shelton Benjamin and Dolph Ziggler from smackdown and R truth, and Apollo (I know Apollo is still fairly new) but he has no personality and he needs to build a personality to create structures with his character, Lukes smackdown card is brilliant and I agree with the raw midcard cause some can bring new life in their character like goldust and mike kanellis if the creative team lets them have a bit of control and let them be themselves. Oli’s raw main card is good like a typical Vince main eventers, but introducing Jeff hardy and bringing back orton into it would show off the athleticism and depth in storylines not just Brock/Roman/Braun with their “Hulk Smash attitude” loved the ramble as always.

I would have the entire tag division (Bludgeon Brothers, Usos, New Day, Revival, Colons, American Beta, Authors of Pain and Galanderson) on Smackdown and the entire women's division on Raw.
Becuase we have co-branded PPVs now, I would have Styles vs. Roman/Lesnar in a unification match at Backlash for the top title where he is on both shows.
Other changes will be:
Smackdown gets Colin Cassidy, Seth Rollins (IC Champ), Finn Balor, Sheamus, Apollo and Rhyno
Raw gets Baron Corbin, Bobby Roode, Jinder Mahal (US Champ), Fandango, Mojo Rawley and Konnor
Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston to Raw.... Big E solo push on Smackdown is MONEY.
Big E is a future main event player. We've seen hints of Big E when he gets angry/passionate and it was amazing.
Xavier and Kofi creates an immediate upper tier tag team for Raw and Big E starts his slow build towards the main event on Raw starting with a few low tier feuds and possibly picking up the IC belt off Jinder at Survivor Series for example.
Who else thinks raw have got the best roster now than ever before
From SD to RAW: Randy Orton, New Day, Becky, Natalya, Naomi (maybe one of the Riott Squad), Ascension, Breezango, Dillinger, Bobby Roode, Baron Corbin, Rusev Day, Ziggler
From RAW to SD: The Miz, The Bar, The Club, Slater & Rhyno, Sasha, Bayley, Elias
I do not think there are calls from NXT, but if so, I hope that Andrade with Zelina and Sanity go to SDL at least.
Bryan talked about it on E&C that he likely would work a lighter schedule when he would be allowed back.

I like when they shorten names, it makes the name sound much better since as it is most names are fake and makes the wrestlers feel like a big deal. That was a big deal in attitude era for me. All these cool names like Rock, Triple H, Raven, Tazz, Mankind, Kane, Undertaker. In the modern era, short names like Ricochet and CM Punk stand out more
Perfect. Let Raw have all the big guys, reigns, Lesnar, Strowman, Samoa Joe, Lashley, and Batista. SmackDown gets all the smaller guys, Styles, Nakamura, Daniel Bryan, Jeff Hardy, Finn Balor, Seth Rollins, and Rey Mysterio.
My Shake Up
Baron Corbin - Finn Balor
Randy Orton - Samoa Joe

Gable and Benjamin - The Revival
Mike Kannelis W Maria - Goldust

Natalya - Sonya Deville
Titus O Neil - No Way Jose
Back Up Switches
Zack Ryder - R Truth
Titus World Wide - Fandango, Sin Cara and Sara Logan
Randy Orton - Braun STROWMAN
Xzavier Woods - Big Cass
If they ever bring back the special host gimmick.. Oli and Luke should definitely host.. Great booking
SUPPORT WRESTLETALK!!!!!!!!
RAW, Smackdown and NXT will all get drafted to India just so they can get Roman over for the first time
I'm Only Happy When it Reigns Lol, that was hilarious.
Many Indians hate Roman and even the ones who somehow like him, don’t like him as much as other babyfaces xD
You guys have got me excited for the Shake Up (Draft).
I want to see Rollins and Ambrose feud so I want them to stay on the same brand, not that Rollins needs it. Neville coming back as a hard bitten baby face would be awesome and finally, although I don't think it will happen, I would love to see The Usos, Samoa Joe and Roman Reigns OR at least Joe and Reigns, form a Samoan heal faction (something akin to the Nation of Domination) . They would be a good foil for Braun Strowman, Lashley and Lesnar if he sticks around (separately of course)
Another reason Jeff would go to smackdown would be that Jeff has to go to court on Monday so why would they have him return one week then not be there next week
I’m actually doing the same with Xavier Woods on my universe where I’ve split the new day and went with Xavier Woods as a singles competitor kind of like a Johnny Gargano, so good call Oli!
I can’t wait to see what happens on Raw and Smackdown
I think banks and bayley should go to smackdown and have Naomi and Becky lynch to raw so she actually gets time on the main card and title picture
Roxie Rocket Agree about Banks and Bayley. Naomi, I'm on the fence about and just bc Becky gets moved to RAW doesn't mean she'll recieve a better push. I think she should stay on SD and continue to develop her character there. Just needs better booking and it can happen where she is, with a simple change in writing.
And Miz was the one who put first in the super star shake up on raw as John Cena, after his feud with him at WM33
My Picks:
Mickey James > SDL
Charlotte > RAW
Absolution > SDL
Riott Squad > RAW
Asuka > SDL
Natalya > RAW
Dana Brooke > Smackdown
New Day > Raw
Heath & Rhyno > SDL
Usos > Raw
Titus Worldwide > SDL
Randy Orton > Raw
Goldust > SDL
Shinsuke Nakamura > Raw
Curt Hawkins > SDL
Corbin > Raw
R-Truth > SDL
Daniel Bryan > RAW
Big Show > SDL
Zayne > RAW
If you notice a pattern, you're probably right, and it's probably intentional
My Trades/Call ups
From Raw to Smackdown:
Samoa Joe
Fin Balor
The Club
Seth Rollins
Sasha Banks
Bayley
Asuka
TJP
Sanity - Call Up
Kassius Ono - Call Up
Hideo & Tozawa as a Tag Team
From Smackdown to Raw:
Bobby Rhoode
Randy Orton
Jhinder Mahal
Bollywood Boys
Cien Almas - Call up
Naomi
Sarah Logan
Tamina
Lana
Mojo Rawley
American Beta (Shelton & Gable)
Rusev Day
I'd call Sanity up. Almas as well. But I'd definitely have added Sanity to one of the tag divisions.
Joe to Smackdown. Keep him away from Reigns before he buries him
To Raw
Uso’s, Corbin, Tye, Naomi, Natalya, Breezango, Ziggler
To SD
Balor, Club, Hawkins, Sasha, Bayley, The Bar
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think woods is the least popular of the new day when not thinking of upupdowndown. So he deserves a singles run. If Rollins stays ic champ. They could have a good match with a serious/ silly blend for Xavier.
From SDL to RAW: Randy Orton Bobby Roode Baron Corbin Jinder Mahal Breezango Benjamin/Gable, Naomi and Becky Lynch.
From RAW to SDL: Seth Rollins Finn Balor Big Cass Elias The Revival The Club Bayley and Sonya Deville
I think some of the guys start in NXT because it was their preference. Presumably, this would be because they want to start on the more wrestling "centric" show under the guise of HHH. This was definitely the case with Samoa Joe and Bobby Roode.

Sanity has to be called up but I think they might go to smackdown to vs the bluggon brothers
+Cara Grbich probably
Cara Grbich Agreed. Plus, it kind of makes sense. AOP debuted on RAW last week. So spread the NXT love. Lol
Haha you guys do the ole Seinfeld line 'not that there's nothing wrong with that' a lot but I get it.
Hey guys what you think about miz staying on raw to win MITB, at survivor series there's a champion vs champion match like last year. The universal champion is joe or lesnar etc, who beats Daniel Bryan narrowly in a great match. Miz comes out and cashes out on Bryan in a swerve, moving to SD in the process. This builds to Bryan winning the rumble leading to a main event at mania!
"I don't know why you are bringing up nxt because my next pick is cm punk" -oli
I'm dead 😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's a tough call. My prediction: Miz, Strowman, Bayley, Banks, Balor to Smackdown - Orton, Rusev, Lynch, Natayla, Bryan to Raw
FINALLY!
just some predictions: Daniel bryan, usos, corbin, randy orton, tye, mojo OR zack ryder, becky lynch, nattie, ziggler to RAW//// Finn balor, revival, jeff hardy, titus, Braun, bailey, sonya deville, asuka, to smackdown
if you wanna know how to book a main event Apollo/Apollo Crews, just watch how Gore and Perkins booked him in 2k17 universe mode series 1

They can fix Asuka's loss next year.. have her not lose again until next year, along with Charlotte eventually regaining the title, however you wanna book that, and not losing it until this event also (Or could use Ronda Rousey really if you see her staying undefeated until then). And simply asuka takes her down for the title in almost a Cena v Rock kind of situation, only more important.
I say Charlotte just for the story line, but Asuka v Rousey could be much more fast and fun, maybe not as technical but definitely fast paced and the crowd would be so with it.
Raw to SD (Singles): Big Cass, Jeff Hardy, Neville, The Miz, Mickie James, Asuka.
SD to Raw (Singles): Becky Lynch, Randy Orton, Chad Gable (spliting American Beta)

Raw/SD to NXT: Mojo Rawley, Mike Kanellis-Bennett, Apollo & Dana Brooke w/Titus.
Raw to SD (Tag Teams): The Club (Gallows/Anderson)
SD to Raw (Tag Teams): Breezango or Uso's (or None by shock)
SMACKDOWN to RAW... Rusev, Charlotte, Usos, Becky Lynch, Daniel Bryan. New Day (Big E left on SD.)
RAW to SMACKDOWN... BALOR CLUB, Asuka, Mickie James, Cesoro and Revival.
I hate seeing the cruiserweight Championship as a mid card belt.
"My next pick is CM Punk"
Got me there!
Bot gonna happen, but imagine if Brock and AJ were swapped. Brock v Daniel Bryan, Brock vs Nakamura, Brock vs a newly drafted Finn Balor. Damn!
When i heard about draft and after i saw the last smackdown episode i had a thought about the Fatal four way match and everything Btwn Aj Vs Bryan Vs Balor Vs Nakamura .... Happy that Oli too thinks that'll be great ...
Anybody in the world would love to see that match
NXT GM, Raw GM, Smackdown GM, & 205 GM on both shows. Dolph to NXT. Eric Young to Smackdown. Wolfe to Raw. Cross to Smackdown. Mojo to NXT. Corbin to Raw. Cass to Smackdown. Breeze to 205.
