WWE Superstar Shakeup: 10 Decisions That Would Reignite Careers

10. Natalya (SmackDown > Raw)

There's pretty much nothing left for Natalya to do on SmackDown.

Her latest loss (to Naomi) came across as WWE's way of squeezing the last remaining juice from her run on Tuesday nights before she moves over to Raw. There, Natalya can slide into place as the new leader of Absolution, work with Asuka, or help WWE find a way to get Bayley back on the right track.

Natalya, a true veteran of the female ranks, is well-placed to do all of those things. She has experience, can work decent-to-good matches against everyone and is someone fans have grown to respect. The problem is: she's lost in the shuffle on SmackDown.

That's even more true now new faces like Billie Kay and Peyton Royce are part of the roster. Unless she's content to be losing every week, Natalya needs to escape mediocrity on SmackDown and become an important cog in the machine again. She can only do that on Raw.
