The Natural Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Takes place next week on RAW and Smackdown Live. Now there's a thread so we can speculate and then find out where wrestlers go. Last year Smackdown Live won in a rare event, let's credit Paige ;). Smackdown Live's great so I hope it's not damaged. Looking ahead to when the WWE returns to the UK in November, it should be Smackdown Live where I am so that's another reason. There's more wrestlers I'm a fan of unlike RAW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) Getting to see Daniel Bryan, Samoa Joe, Cesaro, AJ Styles, Becky Lynch and Asuka live. Here's hoping and as noted, it should be Smackdown Live's turn. I've watched Joe for years but never seen him in person.

Dolfan in NYC Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Oh ffs. Can we at least wait until after Smackdown airs? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 So, with the results from yesterday, I think it's safe to assume the Usos are getting moved to Raw as, aside from Sanity, they've run over everyone on Smackdown twice. And Raw's probably seen the last of Bayley. Also, it wouldn't surprise me to see Finn & Joe swap shows as Joe/Braun and eventually Finn/AJ are both programs that could be incredible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofuture Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Couldn't have come at a better time, the rosters have been way past stale. Raw desperately needs some new heels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 This isn't really a surprise but they were teasing on 205 Live last night that the Shakeup will affect that brand too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 And to go with that - Buddy Murphy losing two straight would seem to indicate he is moving somewhere else (presumably were ever Alexa ends up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I'm guessing Murphy and maybe one other dude gets shifted to SDL or Raw. I'd rather see Murphy on SDL, but that's just because that's usually the better show and I want Murphy vs Rey, vs Andrade, vs Joe, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORELOCK Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 A good opportunity to pull Sin Cara from whatever he's doing and have him hang out with the Lucha House Party instead of...doing whatever he's doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Cincinnati Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I expect Buddy Murphy immediately jumps in at the world title level like Ali. I'm setting myself up for disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want Joe kept the fuck away from Braun. As badly as Braun has been booked and as well as Joe has been lately, I still see a Bruan/Joe feud being a lopsided squash for Braun. Even in defeat, Joe maintains the aura of a monster while Braun feels like Hillbilly Jim right about now.

I'd rather see Murphy on SDL, but that's just because that's usually the better show and I want Murphy vs Rey, vs Andrade, vs Joe, etc. If they're shifting from 205 Live, it'd be kind of weird: They started the Oney Lorcan/Cedric Alexander feud, but you'd have to assume that, since they called up Mustafa Ali, then the Shakeup would take the other two of last year's "big 3" for 205, so Murphy and Cedric would get the call. There'd be the NXT or NXT-UK potential callups, but that'd also be a question mark since Lorcan already got the call from NXT to 205 Live, and we've already seen NXT-UK workers on 205 Live normally (to the point if, say, Mark Andrews got the call to 205 Live, it wouldn't really change anything.)

Kang Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I want them to split up tags. One guy keeping the tag gimmick and the other guy getting a new gimmick was always amusing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind Ricochet and Aleister split since they are the epitome of two singles guys thrown together.

JonnyLaw Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I’d like to see the Revival go to Smackdown to feud with the Hardys. It wouldn’t necessarily be a fresh matchup, but I’d like to see Murphy go to Smackdown and feud with Ali, just so their matches can actually be seen by people.

Brian Fowler Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Bàlor should've been on SmackDown a long time ago (like, when he should've won the 2018 Rumble, did the heel turn on AJ, and brought the Good Brothers with him at the time...) I have serious doubts Chad Gable will ever get a singles run that involves better than 50/50 booking with the lower midcard. Unless he's dominating 205 Live. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
