10 Huge WWE Superstar Shake-up Predictions To Revitalise Raw

Whilst outstanding matches haven't been of a premium for Natalya on SmackDown Live! since her 2016 drafting to the blue brand, her contributions to the wellbeing of the women's division have been readily apparent.

A feud with Nikki Bella offered far more in execution than it promised in planning, whilst her contributions to the 2017 Welcoming Committee angle and matches with Naomi, Carmella and Tamina Snuka brought the best out of her less-experienced colleagues.

Those skills are now badly required on Monday Night Raw. In Nia Jax, the flagship show has a champion on look alone, with inflated expectations in the quality of contests far beyond Jax' extremely limited skillset. Beyond that, Absolution pairing Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville have found their niche as personalities but still require substantial seasoning between the ropes.

Night after night on house show loops with the Hart Dungeon graduate would be invaluable for all three relative newbies, particularly with the need to continue the division's expansion.
