It’s me

Thoughts on both shake ups. Personally I'm glad paige is back

I would like to see the World Titles change brands ever since the draft has returned the World Titles haven't changed brands i would like to see the Universal Championship on Smackdown for the first time ever tho they will probably have to change the strap to Blue and the WWE Championship back to Raw.

And to answer Lenny's question i think it was a terrible shake up like last year but a lot better then last year at the same time the only wrestlers that interested me in terms of switching brands was Roman Reigns,Finn Balor,Rey Mysterio and AJ Styles only 1 title changed brands the IC Title tho Samoa Joe's US Title will probably be switched back to RAW them titles go back and forth all the time so overall i am not happy by the shake up not many teams broke up to you think about it as promised by Shane & Stephanie.

I have just read Liv Morgan, Chad Gable, Apollo Crews, Mickie James, are also on Smackdown as well I hope they push Gable on Smackdown and have Roode back as a cocky heel on Raw like in his NXT Days

Personally I would have made Gable part of a new Team Angle / World's Greatest Tag Team with Shelton Benjamin, and Angle could have been their manager, coach, or something. Just seems a more natural pairing than Gable / Roode.

But all these brand changes just seem like shuffling deck chairs on the titanic.

They did that already didnt they gable and benjamin on smackdown like 15 months ago

Chad Gable was an Olympic level wrestler & WWE would have shit in their eyes if they got rid of him but Gable like Apollo Crews is a fantastic talent who hasn't got the mic skills so in WWE's eyes marketing them becomes harder if they don't have a manager to talk for them.WWE often put tag-teams together when they run out of story-lines for certain single wrestlers where some times they work sometimes not & putting Gable & Roode together just didn't work but I reckon putting Gable & Apollo Crews in a tag team would work.

As for the rest of the shake-up in general I felt was a little underwhelming & whilst AJ moving to Raw was the stand out particularly with an anticipated match-up with Rollins but with rumours circulating that AJ's new deal means he will be more of a part time wrestler (like Orton & Daniel Bryan) than seeing him every week on Raw.Usos were clearly brought over to Raw to invigorate the tag-teams on Raw but all I see on Raw is too many tag-teams & not enough airtime given to them.I've not seen many NXT matches but the match between War Raiders & Black/Ricochet a few weeks ago was up there for me as one of the best WWE matches in a long time but given WWE's inability to proper utilize NXT call-ups I just see War Raiders/Viking Experience (wouldn't Viking Raiders have been better) being totally wasted like AOP.

Looking through the full list of the shake-up WWE certainly had a bee in their bonnet about breaking up factions & tag-teams where Riott Squad's jobbing wrestler (the lovely) Liv Morgan has joined SD to become a jobber on her own there.The under utilized Sanity are no more with Eric Young pointlessly moving to Raw to become a sacrificial lamb there & the Boss & Hug Connection becoming a short-lived title holding tag-team with Bayley moving to SD as well.I just think WWE are looking at their ex-TNA stars like Roode,EC3,Lashley as jobbers until they quit for pastures new like Luke Harper & Dean Ambrose.

If they did, then I missed it. They certainly couldn't have used Angle for it.
