Are you surprised by the "shak-up" results? We are not!
Everybody knows who went where, we will try to analyses why!
FROM SMACKDOWN LIVE TO RAW
MICKIE JAMES
It's nice to see the veteran back, having chances to meet the likes of Nia Jax, Bayley, Sasha, Emma, Paige and Alexa. It's like a fantasy booking! Actually this was the only surprise in this trade, but the WWE officials motives are clear - they wanted the rivalry between James and Bliss to continue. Meanwhile James can fight Nia Jax and others. That's a really nice shake-up!
ALEXA BLISS
Tell me, that you didn't have that feeling, deep inside that this is going to happen?
For her short appearance in the Blue Brand, Bliss was able to become a two-time SD Women's Champion. Well, for me her way to the RAW Women's belt will be way too harder. But Alexa is a really nice addition to RAW and I am happy to see her in the Monday's night roster. We will get more trash talk and Twisted Bliss! And now when the RAW women's division looks like a hive of angry bees, with Nia Jax smashing everything it will be nice to have this feisty Wicked Witch-Harley Queen hybrid as a game changer.
MARYSE
I don't want to use the word "useless", because there is not such thing like "useless people". But there is such thing like "useless characters"! And Maryse is useless for RAW Women's division.
With a poor appearance at WrestleMania, confirming her unavailability as a wrestler, she is useful only as The Miz' beautiful wife. Sorry, Maryse!
FROM RAW TO SMACKDOWN LIVE
CHARLOTTE FLAIR
First I want to notice the way Charlotte Flair was presented! Deceiving the fans that Tamina is the only one returning as the second generation wrestler, was nice. Of course Tamina is not part of the "shake-up", it was rumored for months that she will debut in SmackDown, and her appearances in the Blue brand's live events, prove it!
Charlotte's debut in SmackDown Live was a nice strategical move. The Queen accomplished everything in RAW, and she was starting to be a little bit boring in her constant rivalry against Bayley and Sasha. So here she is - chasing new opportunities, reviving old rivalries, creating some new! Now we can count the days until her title reign! Because her arrival is a really "bad news" for Naomi!
LANA
I am so excited about Lana's trade to SmackDown of course in a pack with Rusev. But she got her own promo which means that eventually she may receive the separate push, that she needs.
I am so sad, WWE didn't allow her to work with NXT for several months, but I hope that in SDL we will see more from the Ravishing Russian. There is something that we can't deny - Lana is more valuable than Maryse, and this trade "wasn't fair" for RAW! So, what? I am happy for Lana's appearance in the land of possibilities and can't wait to see more from her!
