WWE Superstar Shakeup – Which Show Did Better?
The Superstar Shakeup is apparently replacing the draft, so let’s make wild predictions!

A pretty good show with a nice TV Title match and the return of a man “Reborn.”
Tye Dillinger says farewell to NXT in a satisfying ending to his feud with Eric Young and SAnitY inside a steel cage.
Prior to Supercard of Honor XI, this WOH tag match worked as a nice warmup to the main show.
A good show with some good matches, but a long-running feud seems to end in a rather uneventful way on this edition of 205 Live.
This pretty good episode of SmackDown set up two title matches, one surprising and one not so much.
Shelton Benjamin clears up rumors surrounding his WWE status, and it’s not good news for fans still holding onto hope of a return to SmackDown.
An okay show highlighted by a memorable (if somewhat recycled) moment.
Drew McIntyre makes his NXT in-ring debut in a hard-hitting affair with Oney Lorcan.
A good show with a great main event. TJ Perkins and his new attitude took on Jack Gallagher who just wanted Perkins to act like a Gentleman.
SmackDown had the same level of minimal excitement as RAW for its portion of the Superstar Shakeup, but two great matches on this episode with title implications make this a show worth watching.
The Superstar Shakeup has a lot of new faces appearing on RAW, and though that made for a mildly interesting show, the real quantity of actual shaking will probably not be seen for a while.
This edition of NXT was taped before Takeover: Orlando, and it very much felt like a pre-show. The matches were short, and the show was packed with clips and interviews from the big event. Not the best episode of NXT, but there’s still a little fun to be had here.
The 205 Live after Wrestlemania might not have been as surprising as RAW or SmackDown, but three solid matches make this a show not to be missed.
The first SmackDown Live after a Wrestlemania was good. It might not have felt quite as energetic as RAW, but it had quite possibly the best moment of the past few days with the extremely exciting debut of Shinsuke Nakamura!
The tradition of an exciting RAW after Wrestlemania continues with some welcome returns and some very good matches!
This is a very long show, and with any show of this length, there are good and not so good parts. Overall, this is probably a middle-of-the-road Wrestlemania, but there is definitely some fun to be had here. Watching it all in one sitting might leave you a bit exhausted though.
With a lot of talking and three matches of varying quality, this was a pretty average kickoff show. Though the good parts were quite entertaining, there weren’t a ton of them considering the two-hour running time of the show.
Though this felt more like a continuation of stroylines rather than a culmination, this year’s Wrestlemania-weekend Takeover had some very good matches and really fantastic moments. It wasn’t all spectacular, but it was very entertaining.
Lots more talking on this episode of SmackDown, but the main event match worked to make this a show definitely worth watching.
