Superstar Shake Up

[Migs]

Ack, hate that they're going to do the bullshit they did in the prior brand split era with the lame duck PPV matchups.

[FMKK]

Bray Wyatt needs taken off TV for a few months and repackaged.

[KawadaSmile]

Fuck off Wyatt.

[El Dragon]

Well, at least Rowan got to actually not look like a jobber for once, right?

[Strummer]

this Boston crowd is molten hot for everything tonight

Except American Alpha it seems...

 

I'd love Roman to move to Smackdown just so he can go back to having trios matches with The Usos.

[Migs]

Maybe this was explained on Raw and I missed it, but in kayfabe terms - how is the shakeup happening? Are the brands making selections? Are the wrestlers making the choice? Is it a contract negotiation between the brand and the wrestlers (where the Shakeup frees the wrestlers to negotiate with both sides)? Is it some random generator like the old drafts?

[El Dragon]

I don't think they've officially set a kayfabe for it, but I would guess there was a negotiation process and/or something like a draft lottery were each brand could "protect" so many people. It's kinda logical that Bryan wouldn't protect Miz and Angle might not protect Zayn, for instance.

[FMKK]

Primo and Epico is a very underwhelming switch unless they reboot the gimmicks but even then, they've been jobbers for years.

[El Dragon]

I'm mixed. Primo and Epico aren't exactly setting the world on fire, but I don't doubt that they are pretty damn good workers that can more then hold there own if given an actual push.

[KawadaSmile]

Usos with another good match. At this rate they might just become the best TV workers of 2017.

 

Also, Primo and Epico, albeit good wrestlers, are literally the most underwhelming options SD could get. What's next for the Usos if another tag team doesn't come along?

Face Turned Fashion Police? I also remain unconvinced that New Day isn't coming over.

American Alpha's fall from grace is something. From big time NXT call up to the months build to their title win over two guys now feuding for the WWE Championship to the silence at their entrance to Gable Sucks chants to dropping a second decisive loss to the Usos to getting laid out by the Shining Stars. All in under 10 months.

[FMKK]

I hope to God they don't switch Sasha over to Smackdown as well Charlotte as some had discussed. They need at least two years apart now.

[KawadaSmile]

Mojo is the shit, brothers. Huge star in the making.

[El Dragon]

I will say, that running Forearm Corner Shot looked pretty fucking great.

[Strummer]

Charlotte and sasha should be debuting here

[El Dragon]

Charlotte and sasha should be debuting here

 

Why move Sasha before her heel turn? Charlotte yes, and then, hopefully, Emma.

[Strummer]

Lol the Tamina swerve

[KawadaSmile]

Saying that Jimmy Snuka was one of the greatest of all time is problematic.

PWI was saying Sasha this afternoon. Guess not. She's staying I guess

[Migs]

Becky's new look is very Berzerker.

[Migs]

Whereas Charlotte has gone full Dalton Castle.

[FMKK]

Haha, I was just thinking of how he could swerve us and Tamina appears instead. At least they got Charlotte in the end but Tamina is barely a pick seeing she's not been on TV in forever

[KawadaSmile]

Seems like Finn suffered a concussion, according to PWI.

 

Jinder is strong style, dammit.
