WWE have replaced their annual spring cleaning (which traditionally saw a brutal talent cull) with an annual spring shakeup that aims to breathe new life into some on the roster. This year, the 'Superstar Shake-Up' will happen internationally during the promotion's jaunt to Canada on 15/16 April after WrestleMania 35.

We know what you're thinking: "International"? Canada is just across the US border!

Regardless of questionable titling, this could be an exciting time for fans and wrestlers alike if WWE's decision-makers choose the right moves. The general idea behind any Shake-Up should be to give stumbling superstars or those struggling for fresh feuds someone new to work with. In theory, it's a win-win situation for the company's creative teams across both major brands.

This is a big year for WWE. Not only do they face competition from AEW for signatures, they're also about to relaunch SmackDown on a new network towards the end of 2019. Let's hope they don't make a balls-up of it then.

This mini-Draft is a crucial one, especially for the plethora of Raw stars who aren't being used to their full potential...
