WWE: Did Superstar Shakeup Spoil Match at the Greatest Royal Rumble?
By Jack Clayton
With the Superstar Shakeup finally over, WWE is set to have a stellar rest-of-the-year with brand new superstars on new shows.
Superstars moving from WWE Raw to SmackDown Live, and vice versa, allows brand new feuds, and possibly brand new champions.
One of those switches were the tag team Sheamus and Cesaro, A.K.A The Bar. Over the past two years, the team have become one of the best tag teams in WWE. They even picked up the Raw Tag Team Championships 4 times along the way.
But now, it looks like the two are set to bring their talents over to the Blue Brand on Tuesdays. This is great, as they can have great matches with the likes of the Usos, the New Day, and even newcomers SaNity.
However, with the announcement of the switch-up, it may have given away the result of a major upcoming match for them.

The Bar is set to go against Bray Wyatt and “Woken” Matt Hardy for the vacated Raw Tag Team Championships. The match will take place a week from Friday in Saudi Arabia at the Greatest Royal Rumble.
However, if they are going to be making the jump to SmackDown, how will they hold the Raw Tag Team Championships? The short answer is that they won’t.
By announcing their move to SmackDown, WWE has spoiled the result for this match.
While this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it has more or less ruined the suspense for this match. Fans are still sort of on the fence on how the chemistry between Wyatt and Hardy would work. But this would have been the place for that suspense to be deleted (pun intended).
Now, fans can all but confirm that they will win the championships. They can still have that suspense in the match, but now fans have more of an idea of the winner.

That doesn’t necessarily ruin the Bar. However, with as much as WWE has hyped up this event, it would seem likely they would keep spoilers under wraps.
However, there is still plenty to look forward to from the event. From the return of the Undertaker to a 50 man Royal Rumble, this event will surely deliver.
