10 Huge WWE Superstar Shake-up Predictions To Save SmackDown Live!

7. No Way Jose

No Way Jose's debut on the post-WrestleMania Raw was an absolute f*cking riot - a quick squash he has no chance of topping on weeks two, three or four when the fans quickly tire of his single-issue act.

Interviewed for WWE.com after his quickie appearance, he was beaming with pride after his appearance on the flagship show but gleefully chuckled at the prospect of doing it all again on the blue brand. WWE might as well indulge him, taking the conga line over to Tuesday to keep him broadly appealing until the freshness wears off as it eventually did in NXT.

Jose's success depends almost entirely on how good in he gets in the ring, and how quick. Never considered a TakeOver-level performer outside of a few token losses on NXT's biggest stage, the gimmick too had a shelf life leaving him in stasis until the recent roster promotion. SmackDown Live! has done a reasonable job of exploiting every last skill of even the most limited of talents (as current Women's Champion Carmella can attest to), and may be a more suitable home for the jigging jabroni before he becomes just that all over again.
