7 New WWE Directions After Money In The Bank 2017

5. New Stars Landing On SmackDown's Roster

Unless you were in the know or digging real deep for gossip, the debuts of Mike and Maria Kanellis would have come as quite the surprise. Perhaps the biggest shock is that WWE aren't using the Mike Bennett name, instead choosing to acknowledge that Mike has taken his wife's surname. Interesting.

This is a slight shakeup for the SmackDown Roster, and explains why The Miz and Maryse were moved to Raw. Having one overbearing power couple on each show is enough. It's wise to give the Kanellis lovebirds their own spotlight, rather than expecting them to share it with the Mizanin family.

Expect Kanellis to set up his first feud on the next SmackDown, but know his introduction does limit things for some others. The likes of Aiden English, for example, may find TV time harder to come by now there's another face competing for minutes.

Make that first feud a good one, WWE. We don't want another Curt Hawkins on our hands.
