10 WWE Superstars Who must Switch Brands This Week Part 2

Hello everyone and welcome back to Talk Wrestling World, I hope you are all well and good and have had a great week! Okay so I know I never ever upload on a Sunday but as I said last week, I have so much that I want to talk about here on my blog at the moment and so a bonus post has been added to the schedule this week. Now, as you all are aware it was announced this past Monday on RAW that there will be a superstar shake-up happening this week kick-starting tomorrow which of course came as no surprise. The WWE has needed to hold another superstar shakeup for a while but of course, the weeks that follow after Wrestlemania do indicate a fresh start in the WWE thanks to new faces coming up from NXT, fresh new feuds, and returns and boy did we have all that brought to our screen this past week. In today's blog post we will be focusing on the Superstar Shakeup which will of course as we have already touched on, be kick-starting tomorrow during Monday night RAW. I'm going to be counting down ten superstars I believe need to switch brands over the next few days and this post will be split into two parts with part two of the post going up tomorrow before RAW! I will, of course, be reviewing both this week's episodes of RAW and Smackdown LIVE in Wednesdays highlights post.  For now, any recent blog posts will be linked below including my Wrestlemania and NXT Takeover reviews and finally, you can get involved and tell me who you believe needs to switch brands by leaving a comment below or by tweeting me over at @TezangiVictoria.

Roman Reigns

As we touched on in part one of this blog post Smackdown LIVE is in desperate need of some big names being added to its roster. We need to see more main event talent who can really draw in attention, big storyline's and make the roster feel bigger and more must see and of course one of the names who really could do just that is Roman Reigns. Another name who has been apart of RAW since the begining of the brand split, I do feel as though its time for a change. Reigns has done so much while apart of the RAW roster and after losing to Brock Lesnar at Mania I do feel as though its time for something new to kick start in the career of Roman Reigns and see the begining of a new chapter. He is of course set to challenge Lesnar later in the month once again for the Universal Championship and he has started up some worth woth Samoa Joe but I believe that there is plenty waiting for Reigns on the blue brand espcially considering we are still yet to see some new NXT faces make their way to the roster also!

The Club

There really is no other tag team more in need of switching brands than the Club. Anderson and Gallows have had a really tough few years with the WWE failing to push them in the direction they so clearly are deserving of. We've seen plenty of missed opportunites in regards to the WWE careers of these two and I'm seriously hoping that the pair are moved to Smackdown LIVE this week where a fresh start can take place and we can see them finally given the push and direction they need! Moving them over to Smackdown LIVE along with Finn Balor is exactly what we need to see. Forming Balor club properly and really focusing on building these guys as a solid, threatning, main attraction faction is key. Getting them involved in the AJ Styles/Shinsuke Nakamura feud at some point down the line is a must not to mention the tag team divison does appear to be used far greater on the blue brand than on RAW. I strongly believe these guys can become the tag team if they are given this move to Smackdown and a great year could be waiting for them.

Bobby Roode

While he hasn't been apart of the main roster for very long at all let alone Smackdown LIVE, I've added Bobby Roode to this blog post because in all honesty I really do believe that switching brands is what is best for him. We've already seen him hold the United States Championship but apart from that Roode really hasn't done much to really make an impact and delvier on the level he was delivering while he was apart of NXT. Moving him over to Monday night RAW where he can finally be given the heel turn he needs because lets be honest its while working under a heel character that Roode shines the brightest. Fresh new storyline's over on RAW including a possible clash with the likes of John Cena, Triple H, Samoa Joe, and the recently returned Bobby Lashley make for true must see and interesting feuds fans will love! Moving to RAW will really allow Roode to make the impact he hasn't been able to make just yet while apart of Smackdown LIVE.

Seth Rollins

For anoyone that has been reading my blog for long enough you will know that Seth Rollins moving from Monday night RAW to Smackdown LIVE is something I have wanted to see for quite some time. He's someone who too has done so much while apart of RAW and moving over to Smackdown LIVE is something he would really benefit from. He is yet another name that could really save the blue brand and five the show the depth and star quality it is crying out for. Feuds and matches aginst the likes of AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Daniel Bryan, and Rusev for example will have fans paying to see matches go down and make for some big standouts of the year. Rollins feels a little lost and stale at the moment while working apart of Monday night RAW and the shift to a different brand could be exactly what he needs. Fresh with the Intercontiental Championship around his waste, a feud between Rollins and a hopefully soon to debut Andrade Cien Almas is something I know I can sure get behind.

Becky Lynch

And finally, to round things up we have Becky Lynch. Honestly, this just falls down to the fact I feel as though there isn't much left for her to do while apart of Smackdown LIVE. Sure she could chase after the Women's championship again if Carmella is set to have any kind of lengthy title reign but I believe that moving her to RAW where she can collide with the likes of Mandy Rose, Sonya Deville, and Alexa Bliss again could be pretty interesting. A possible heel run could be in the works in the
coming months but what if anything I and so many others just want to see Lynch back on top. The WWE really haven't done all too much with her despite the fact she is one of the most over female talents on the blue brand right now. There is a risk of her getting lost on the RAW roster but I strongly feel she will benefit from the move in the future and again a fresh start may just be exactly what she needs!

Bonus stars:

Goldust and Mandy Rose
 I recently wrote an article discussing the future of mandy rose which will be linked below so you can check that out! In that post and a post discussing the thoughts, the WWE mixed match challenge left us with I spoke about how much I would like to see Mandy and Goldust work together. With the right direction and push, Goldie could very easily find himself at the top or at least much higher on the roster than where he has been in recent years. Throughout his career, Goldie has proven to be an all-time great and therefore has what it takes to be apart of saving the blue brand. Smackdown live is pushed as the land of opportunity and so is more likely to be a far greater home for the futurHallll of Famer. Not to mention that the WWE can add a little bit of friction between Paige and Mandy too. For more on why I want to see these two work together check out my recent blog posts:

Jeff Hardy
And the last name I want to mention is, of course, Jeff Hardy. One of the main rumored names to be making the move to Smackdown LIVE this week it will come as no surprise that both fans and the WWE want to see Hardy put on his own on a separate brand and working as a singles competitor. It's already been hinted that the Hardys will be working separately from each other especially with Matt working so close with Bray Wyatt. This is the chance for Jeff to go off to Smackdown LIVE and work amazing feuds and storylines with the likes of Daniel Bryan, AJ Styles, and Shinsuke Nakamura and edge closer to holding that WWE Championship.

And there we have it! That is my list. Part one of this blog post will be linked below and I will be reviewing the Superstar Shakeup in full later this week! For now, any recent blog posts will be linked below and you can tell me who you believe needs to switch brands this week by leaving a comment bellow or by tweeting me over at @TezangiVictoria.
