WWE officially confirms Superstar Shakeup for April
After it was advertised locally earlier this week, WWE has officially confirmed that their next Superstar Shakeup is set for April.
WWE uploaded a video today announcing that the 2019 Superstar Shakeup will take place on Monday, April 15 and Tuesday, April 16. The Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada will host those Raw and SmackDown episodes.
The Superstar Shakeup is again being held the week after the post-WrestleMania editions of Raw and SmackDown.
Like with the local advertisement that aired in Canada, today’s WWE video at one point called this the “first-ever international Superstar Shakeup.” That may just refer to the fact that it’s taking place in Canada.
This will be the third year in a row that WWE has had a Superstar Shakeup. They’ve featured some wrestlers changing brands between Raw and SmackDown after the end of WrestleMania season, and last year’s Shakeup also included wrestlers from NXT being called up to the main roster.
