Who won the 2019 Superstar Shake-up?

Other than the fans, of course.

But seriously, whether or not you dug WWE’s narratively confusing 2019 roster re-alignment or not, it’s still fun to check out the show’s line-ups and pick which one you think made out better. History shows that first impressions aren’t always right (remember when everyone was sure SmackDown would suck after the 2016 draft?), and this year’s even trickier than most - there are still a few Superstars who haven’t been assigned to team red or team blue.

Let’s just take a look at each show’s line-up as currently listed on WWE.com and see what we think, though... shall we?

Obviously, there are some question marks here. People who are nearly retired are listed, along with others out with injuries. Wrestlers who’ve allegedly informed the company they’re gone or leaving as soon as possible show up. The ruling McMahons are on both list at WWE.com, mixed in with announcers and non-wrestling managers.

Still, it’s enough to overreact to right now. And that’s what fans on the internet do best.
