WWE: 5 Early Superstar Shake-Up 2019 Predictions

4: AJ Styles- SmackDown to Raw

AJ Styles moving from SmackDown to Raw feels inevitable at this point, and with Monday nights lacking in any clear stars right now, there has never been a better time than after this year’s WrestleMania.

Styles has achieved everything there is to achieve on SmackDown Live, and while he is arguably the face of the brand, and a move to Raw could damage SmackDown, there is also the risk of Styles simply becoming stale on Tuesday nights.

Moving to Raw will give Styles the chance to engage in exciting new feuds with the likes of Seth Rollins, Finn Balor and plenty of others, and could also keep rumours of an eventual move to AEW at bay.

The fact of the matter is that Styles is not getting any younger, and the WWE needs to capitalise on his star power while they still can. With AEW sniffing around and Raw’s ratings, and overall quality, dropping by the week, Styles is exactly what the brand needs to revitalise itself right now.

With Rollins on top, and Styles and Balor chasing the title, while the likes of Drew McIntyre and Braun Strowman bring some power to the table, Raw can finally begin to establish the main-event scene it has been in desperate need of for so long.

There is also the possibility of a mouth-watering rematch with Brock Lesnar if the current Universal Champion decides to stick with the company after WrestleMania 35.
