1. Brothers 'Til Destruction

The Superstar Shakeup is likely going to bring about some matches and moments fans have been expecting for a while now, but in the wake of The Undertaker’s second and final WrestleMania defeat, there’s one story that nobody seems to be talking about.

Having just watched The Deadman humiliated and buried in front of 70,000 fans, don’t you think a particular SmackDown LIVE Superstar would be pretty mad right about now?

Kane has been taking time off to rest lingering injuries since the end of 2016, and his current status is relatively unknown, but The Big Red Machine surely has a lot to say about Roman Reigns’s treatment of his kayfabe Brother of Destruction.

It’s not like Roman and Kane need a major angle together, but it’d keep Reigns busy while Braun Strowman ogles the Universal Championship and Seth Rollins is still preoccupied with Triple H’s personal army. All it takes is a brand switch for The Demon, a confrontation of sorts, and you’ve got a nice three to four week feud that tells a coherent and easily understandable revenge story.
