That time is upon us once again. The time where fans revel in the pageantry of the biggest show of the year, Wrestlemania. We also get to take part in the insanity that is the Raw after Wrestlemania. However, surprisingly, as Kofi Kingston pointed out this evening, it’s also that time for this year’s WWE Superstar Shakeup. We’ll see superstars from Raw go to SmackDown Live and vice versa.
We here at The Scrum Sports have discussed and came up with our predictions for next week’s draft. Each of us have come up with two males, two females and one tag team (or some variation) to make a new home on the opposing brand. Some of these picks are random wild cards that will spark life into the brand. Many are picks for performers who are not being utilized to their fullest potential. You may notice a pattern or two.

We are all pretty sure that, despite these picks needing the change of scenery more than anyone else, the actual picks will likely be drastically different.
What say you, our faithful readers? Who do you believe would benefit from switching brands?
