WWE may have tipped their hand this week when it comes to the Superstar Shakeup by advertising a certain Raw star for a SmackDown Live house show.
As many of you that have been fans of WWE for a while will know extremely well the machine never stops. Vince McMahon spends an entire year building to WrestleMania and then as soon as the show of shows is over he and the rest of his company move right on to what's next. The Raw after WrestleMania goes live 24 hours later, and the whole process begins again.
This year was no exception, and Raw this past Monday was an absolutely loaded show. We got a multitude of call-ups, returns, and new angles as we now head towards the Greatest Royal Rumble and Backlash. There was also the announcement that next week some wrestlers will be switching brands via the latest Superstar Shakeup.

Which Superstars will be moving where is obviously something that is kept very quiet until it actually happens. However, WWE may have inadvertently shown their hand when it comes to one star in particular. Joshua Fryar pointed out on Twitter that Asuka is currently being advertised to appear on a SmackDown Live house show in June which could mean The Empress is about to become the property of the blue brand.
Asuka has actually made a couple of appearances on SmackDown Live recently despite being a Raw Superstar as she opted to face Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania following her Royal Rumble win. It was never stated that she had switched brands though and despite not being on television since WrestleMania it's assumed that since she lost to Flair at WrestleMania she will now return to being the exclusive property of Raw.
As always with these things the card is subject to change. For starters, The Usos are still being advertised as the SmackDown Tag Team Champions in the tweet which is no longer the case. The house show is still two months away and even if Vince McMahon currently wants Asuka on SmackDown Live, he could very well change his mind about that five times between now and then.
