One of the biggest rumors going into the ‘Superstar Shake-Up’ was that Roman Reigns would switch over from Monday Night RAW to Smackdown Live. Now that the ‘Shake-Up’ has come and gone, Reigns is still a member of the red brand.
So why didn’t Roman Reigns move over to Smackdown? Why did WWE choose to keep him on Monday night’s?
According to rumors that are circulating, the reason why WWE chose to keep Reigns on RAW is because they didn’t want to mess up their long-term plans.
We have noted prior that the planned main event of Wrestlemania 34 is Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar for the WWE Universal Championship. A move to Smackdown for Reigns would have also meant that WWE would have to move Lesnar and the Universal Title over to Smackdown with him. Also, WWE would have been forced to move Braun Strowman to the blue brand since they have long-term feuds planned for him vs both Reigns and Lesnar.

As you can see, Reigns moving to Smackdown would have cause quite the headache for WWE and their booking over the next year. They decided to skip the headache and just keep Reigns on RAW. Reigns vs Strowman, Lesnar vs Strowman and Reigns vs Lesnar are the three big feuds WWE fans should expect to see over the next few months.
