Another Superstar Shakeup is expected to take place just after WrestleMania. Whose career would be most positively impacted by a change of scenery?

In 2016, the brand split was meant to give superstars a chance to shine by highlighting them exclusively on either Monday or Tuesday night. The shift in program led to what many consider the Golden Age of SmackDown Live. However, after WrestleMania 33, Chairman Vince McMahon introduced the Superstar Shakeup. The Superstar Shakeup allowed RAW and SmackDown Live to make trades with one another to procure new talent, reinvigorate the rosters, and create new feuds.

Since that time, we have seen unprecedented rises in dominance, while other have fallen into near obscurity. With another Superstar Shakeup seemingly on the horizon, here’s who would benefit the most from a brand switch.

Becky Lynch

Once upon a time, Becky Lynch was crowned the first-ever SmackDown Live Women’s Champion. It’s a heartbreakingly distant memory. Since that time, Becky has steadily fallen from the peak of the division.

With the addition of Asuka to the Blue Brand and Charlotte’s arrival as babyface during the Superstar Shakeup, Becky is facing insurmountable odds to reach the zenith of the SmackDown Live women’s division. Though the prospect of regaining a title on RAW seems unlikely, Becky could find herself in some fresh new matchups in on RAW. Having been straight fire on SmackDown during the first two years of the brand split, Becky could find a new spark on RAW.
