WWE Superstar Shake-Up Moves At Last Night’s SmackDown Live and Moves Announced After

Last night was the second night of the annual WWE Superstar-Shake-Up and as usual there was some big changes.

It wasn’t made clear Monday night, but last night on SmackDown it appears that Ricochet and Aleister Black are on the RAW roster.

Last night Vince McMahon made his announcement of the biggest SmackDown acquisition in history. Vince named Elias. Roman Reigns came out and interrupted and laid out Vince and Elias claiming SmackDown as his yard.

Below are a list of names that has joined the SmackDown roster:

  • Roman Reigns
  • Elias
  • Intercontinental Champion Finn Balor
  • Lars Sullivan
  • Ember Moon
  • Bayley
  • Kairi Sane (who is part of Paige’s new tag team with Asuka)
  • Buddy Murphy

After the show there was some more roster changes announced:

  • Liv Morgan
  • Mickie James
  • Chad Gable
  • Apollo Crews
  • Heavy Machinery

With these roster moves we saw the break up of The Boss and Hug Connection, Liv from The Riott Squad and Gable and Bobby Roode.

It’s believed that WWE United States Champion Samoa Joe will be sent to RAW later this week as more moves should be added on the WWE website and social media. As noted, Joe was backstage at this week’s RAW in Montreal, but he was very sick and his segment was removed from the show. It’s likely that this was his RAW roster move as Balor brought the WWE Intercontinental Title to SmackDown.

There has been no mention of what brand Nikki Cross will be apart of.

Kevin Owens Becomes Honorary Member of The New Day

Last night on SmackDown Live, Xavier Woods & WWE Champion Kofi Kingston was guest on the Kevin Owens Show. The New Day mentioned that Big E is out with a injury. Owens offered to be the third member of New Day. Owens said they can call him Big O. They made sure if he could wear a crop top and swivel his hips.

Later in the back they made Owens eat a big tray of pancakes.

Owens did the live ring entrance intro just like Big E.

Owens got the win for The New Day against Rusev , Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro with a stunner on Rusev.

Roman Reigns Takes Out Vince McMahon & Elias on SmackDown Live

Last night on SmackDown Live Vince McMahon announced that Elias as the biggest acquisition in SmackDown history. Roman Reigns came out and interrupted Elias. Reigns his Elias with a Superman Punch then laid out Vince with a SuperMan Punch then laid out Elias with a spear. Reigns claimed SmackDown as his yard.

On last night’s episode of RAW, AJ Styles, The Usos, The Miz, Rey Mysterio and Naomi were moved from SmackDown to RAW.

Below is the official announcement on Vince’s appearance:

Mr. McMahon to reveal the biggest acquisition in SmackDown LIVE historyThe first night of the Superstar Shake-up was thrilling, to say the least. Although SmackDown LIVE is saying goodbye to Superstars like AJ Styles, The Miz, Rey Mysterio and Naomi, there is still plenty of intrigue as to who will be joining Team Blue.

The mystery has been heightened by Mr. McMahon, who will be revealing the biggest acquisition in SmackDown LIVE history tonight. Who has the WWE Chairman secured for the blue brand?

Killian Dain Comments On SAnitY Breaking Up In The WWE Superstar Shake-Up

It lookes like SAnitY was split up during last night’s WWE Superstar Shakeup edition of RAW as leader Eric Young was sent to the RAW roster from SmackDown. There was no mention of Killian Dain or Alexander Wolfe.

Dain took to Twitter today and thanked everyone for supporting SAnitY. He wrote, “Good luck @TheEricYoung Good luck @TheWWEWolfe I’ll miss you both terribly. Had the time of my life as part of Sanity!! You are phenomenal in the ring and outside of it. Thanks to everyone who supported us”

Wolfe re-tweeted the comments from Dain and also commented on the Shakeup.

Wolfe wrote, “#SuperstarShakeup very interesting… What do YOU want?”

Young has not publicly commented on the Shakeup or the status of SAnitY. The group came up to SmackDown from WWE NXT in June 2018 but they are rarely used, on TV or at live events. They lost to The Undisputed Era on the NXT vs. NXT Alumni Worlds Collide special on the WWE Network this past Sunday.

New Bizarre Vignette For Bray Wyatt?,

We’ve noted how WWE last week aired a bizarre vignette for some sort of laughing buzzard, that is believed to be a teaser for Bray Wyatt’s return with a new gimmick. As seen below, a new vignette  began airing this week.

WWE asked, “What spine-chilling entity is coming to WWE?”

Update On Ronda Rousey Taking Time Away From WWE

It looks like Ronda Rousey is in a hurry to expand her family so she can get back to work.

Rousey noted on Instagram today that she and husband Travis Browne are headed out on a vacation. She referred to it as a “#impregnationvacation” in the caption.

WrestleMania 35 was to be Rousey’s final appearance for WWE for the foreseeable future. She is under contract to WWE until April 10, 2021, but she was only committed to going hard full-time through WrestleMania 35, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

Rousey made it known last year that she was looking to have a child with Browne soon, before they got too much older. It’s been reported that WWE wants Rousey back in the ring for a WrestleMania 36 rematch with current RAW & SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch, but that would likely be cutting it close, depending on how long it takes the happy couple to get pregnant. Her new IG post indicates they are serious about expanding their family now.

On a related note, Rousey and Browne could be in Las Vegas for their vacation. They were photographed at The Range 702 firing range in Vegas earlier this week, as seen below.
