12 WWE Superstars Without Direction Following WrestleMania 33
Looking for something new.
As the post-Wrestlemania buzz dies down following an absorbing week of Orlando magic, all attention has quickly moved to Monday's 'Superstar Shake-up' that could see huge movements of talent between the Raw and Smackdown Live! rosters.
In the original Brand Extension, WWE always made huge deals of their 'draft' shows, and whilst the exact nature of the shake-up has been left typically vague, it's almost a certainty that some huge names will switch nights, opening up a plethora of new opportunities for the new opponents in front of them and the ones they leave behind.
Pleasingly, the sense of finality around several key WrestleMania contests has left many performers without much to do in the aftermath, so the timing of the annual shifts couldn't be better.
However, even for those not impacted by the outcome the movements, this time of year is perfect to refocus and re-energise for the next twelve months ahead. All performers are now simultaneously as far away and as close to WrestleMania 34 as they'll ever be, and new beginnings often kickstart that long ascent to the promised land.
Assessing who would benefit from new shows, new opponents, new attitudes or all of the above, here are 12 superstars without direction following WrestleMania 33.
12. Becky Lynch
'The Irish Lass Kicker' was hailed as the cornerstone of the Smackdown Live! women's division following the original 2016 brand extension.
Alongside Natalya, she was considered a safety-net performer for the blue brand as it stacked itself with inexperienced additions such as Eva Marie, Carmella and Alexa Bliss.
However, despite becoming the first ever Smackdown Women's Champion at September's Backlash pay-per-view, her star aura was rapidly eclipsed by rising stars Alexa Bliss and Naomi.
Furthermore, a returning Nikki Bella's powerful splinter feuds with both Carmella and Natalya ousted her programmes as top billing in the division, severely weakening her status as champion.
Since losing the title to Bliss at December's TLC pay-per-view and conclusively losing the feud on television weeks later, Lynch has been spinning her wheels with the familiar faces and wasn't fed a meaningful conflict to aid her participation in WrestleMania's hurried 6-woman title match.
She didn't even appear on the post-WrestleMania edition of the show, and unless something drastic occurs with her demeanour, doesn't look set to be an upcoming opponent for Naomi.
A heel turn seems unnecessary, but a move to Raw to link up with any one of her 'Four Horsewomen' comrades could be just the solution.
