PTH2009

my guesses

Too Raw
Daniel Bryan
Samoa Joe with the us title
Usos
Sanity
Rusev and Nakamura
Askua
Mandy Rose
Alister Black

Too Smackdown
Roman Reigns
Finn Balor with the IC title
Drew Mcintyre
Braun Strowman
Mojo Rawley
Revival
Ricochet
Ember Moon
Nia Jax
Bobby Roode
Chad Gable

J. Marston

Does the international refer to it being held in Montreal or that they might be including NXT UK in it?

If it is the latter I could see Pete Dunne and Rhea Ripley coming up.

They didn't address it but more than likely its 'international' cause it's in Canada. Tbh dont really notice the difference if there in Canada/USA

Taking Pete Dunne away from NXT UK could be risky

Agent Coulson

So who do we expect to get the big moves tonight?

Rock Lesnar

Honestly, does this even matter anymore, no matter who goes where, we probably have seen the matches already, and the same people will be in the same positions.

sky88

These are the ones i think will happen

Drew to smackdown kofis 1st challenger

joe and finn swap

usos to raw

daniel bryan to raw

revival to smackdown

orton to raw

PTH2009

Lots of rumours and speculation around sum I heard were

Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins too SD
Styles and Kofi too Raw
Ricochet/Black for Raw as a tag team
Gargano for SD (must be later in the year when he loses the NXT title ?)
Joe too raw
Finn too SD

Looking forward too it esp with SD coming too Dublin in a few weeks (Raw crew will be in Belfast night before)

Mr.Nice Guy

I'd like them to swap the champions and break up the New Day but I'm not optimistic of that. Not expecting anything big to happen.

Well if you believe the tweet LordTSC posted in the RAW thread, the show will probably feel very slap dash.

A leaked picture has

Kairi Sane as a Smackdown superstar.

Agent Coulson

I think right now the WWE has something like 80 male wrestlers and 30 female wrestlers split between RAW & Smackdown.

Maybe a dozen on 205 live.


So over 120 wrestlers to fit into 5 hours of live TV every week plus 205 Live.

We maybe see the same 20/30 of them week in week out.


Way to bloated of a roster.

PTH2009

So far

Raw
Miz
Ricochet
Allister Black
The Viking Experience (Formerly War Raiders)

SD

Sanity breaking up so?

Lord TSC

Tbh, they were pretty much dead anyway. Might give Killian a chance to break out.

I'm guessing Smackdown gets....
Roman
Revival
Lashley or Drew
Elias
Sasha
One of Gable or Roode
I'd love seeing Dream get the call up too.

**** what a ****e list if that's it

Apparently vince will announce the "biggest acquisition in SmackDown Live history.” I'm guessing Brock or/and Ronda yawn

Gotta keep the executives at Fox happy

ERG89

I didn't watch the show or listen to a podcast yet but I'd be surprised to see this show popping a rating. Only thing people online are talking about is the Viking Experience name.
Did Vince name one Erik cause he thought he was Erick Rowan

Bloated feels like an understatement, then again with WWE's child like "get them first so no one else can have them" mentality, it doesn't really surprise me.

Rock Lesnar

The biggest acquisition in smackdown history

Wow this will be good, lol

Just for ****s and giggles, I'll say it's

Michael Cole

The above as said, is just ****s and giggles, I'd be shocked if it actually happened.

SureYWouldntYa

Lads it's fairly obvious who it actually is, but I'll spoiler it so nobody gets it spoiled

Big Show. He's literally the biggest,

SD and Fox will want him as their guy

for The Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia when it happens and even next year's Rumble since this year's winner was from Raw

J. Marston

I'm guessing it's the BIG DOG.

Or maybe Fox have ponied up for a year of full time Brock.

They drifted between the two shows but are now Raw exclusive.

The Smackdown women's division looks incredible.

Don't know why they broke up the Riott squad though.

Actually, adding Finn, Murphy and Gable to Smackdown is awesome too.

Take Roman away, and I way prefer how Smackdown ended up than Raw :pac:

sky88

so joe to raw is a cert with finn on sd

i wonder if theyll anyone else will do a late switch charlotte was like the only woman not to turn up last night

Joe was ment to be on Raw Monday but had flu. WWE have said he’s going to Raw with the U.S title

Lord TSC

I actually think both shows have benefited from that shake up, on paper.

SMackdown's women division has been boosted massively. Their main event scene and uppermidcard looks fresher too, with the mix of Roman, Bryan, New Day, Finn, Owens, Ali, Orton and I'd guess Bray. Murphy getting the call up looks good too.

Raw, meanwhile, will benefit from having the shadow of Reigns move on. Like him or not, there was the sense for years that Raw was built around getting Reigns over. With him gone, it gives the likes of Seth, Styles and McIntyre chances to establish themselves at the top of the card. With Dean going to, it gives the likes of Zayn, Joe, the NXT lads and others room to move up the card. Usos joining the tag division should give them good feuds with Revival.

Officer999

Bo Dallas is still on the Raw roster! Completely had forgotten him

Agent Coulson

So my guess the other day at 120 wasn't bad.


Even if you knock 25% out through injury and other issues you are left with 90 wrestlers to use over two shows and 5 hours of Live TV.


90 wrestlers split between the two touring brands 45 wrestler to each brand.


Still way to many.

Was it Roman?

Lord TSC

Black has been moved to Smackdown. Andrade and Vega have also been moved back, reportedly after Fox requested a Latino flare be put back on the show.

Cesaro moves the other way to Raw.

Sheamus and Cesaro done as a team so? Pity, I doubt Cesaro will get proper treatment as a singles competitor

Mr. Guappa

They still have Zelina listed on the Raw page, for what that's worth. Andrade has been switched back to the SD page alright.

Agent Coulson

The Superstar Shake up was a bit Sh1te!
