Major Names Announced For WWE Superstar Shakeup: Champions, Announcers, Women, More
Fightful.com is keeping a running list of all of the names listed in the WWE Superstar Shakeup. You can find them below.
TO RAW:
Miz & Maryse: Fresh off of a feud with John Cena and Nikki Bella, the WWE power couple immediately mixed it up with Dean Ambrose on Raw.
Bray Wyatt: Scheduled for a match against Randy Orton later this month, the former WWE Champion is now Raw bound.
Dean Ambrose: Current WWE Intercontinental Champion, Ambrose has been feuding with Baron Corbin, who defeated him last week on Smackdown.
Apollo Crews: Announced before Raw, Crews looks to stop spinning his wheels.
Curt Hawkins: Much like Crews, Hawkins has done a lot of nothing since his WWE return. He's usually used as fodder for a returning or debuting wrestler.
Heath Slater & Rhyno: They exploded in popularity, but after the addition of James Ellsworth, stopped getting put on TV.
Kalisto: A puzzling move to be on Smackdown anyway, he'll now get to join the cruiserweight division.
Alexa Bliss: A key cog on Smackdown, Alexa Bliss will have a nice cast to join on Raw with a lot of variety. If she can hang in the ring, she could blow up in popularity. A women's main eventer.
Mickie James: This is the absolute right person to have for Alexa Bliss and Nia Jax. James is a veteran who can always pass as a contender.
David Otunga: Oh.
TO SMACKDOWN:
Kevin Owens: Current United States Champion, KO has been in the main event picture for the last 8-9 months. He'll be a main event level talent for Smackdown.
Sami Zayn: Pretty hilarious that Kevin Owens can't get rid of him. He should immediately be in the United States title picture.
Charlotte: Really could be the biggest name to switch brands. She's a big one. She could be champion in weeks.
New Day: This is a huge one. One act, with Big E being a potential main eventer solo down the line.
Rusev & Lana: This could potentially be the steal of the entire switch. Rusev can be a main event talent.
Sin Cara: Sure. Why not?
Hardbody Mahal: He'll be an enhancement talent.
Shining Stars: This is not what Smackdown needed after losing Heath Slater, Rhyno and The Vaudevillains.
Tamina: She's dangerous and rough in the ring and well past her prime. Rough one.
Byron Saxton: Oh.
