Report: FOX Requested Andrade & Zelina Vega Be Moved Back To SmackDown
The Superstar Shake-Up continues.
One week after Andrade and Zelina Vega were officially moved to Raw as part of the Superstar Shake-Up, the two are now back on SmackDown according to a report from Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet. A look at the roster on WWE.com shows Andrade and Vega as being listed under the SmackDown brand.
PWInsider reports that FOX requested Andrade and Vega be moved back to SmackDown “as the brand lacked any major Latino stars following the Superstar Shakeup last week and that once the series moves to FOX this October, there are plans to spotlight WWE’s Latino stars on their Spanish language station, Fox Deportes.”
Aleister Black is also listed under the SmackDown roster and PWInsider is confirming that Black is indeed moving to SmackDown. Black was officially announced as being part of the Raw roster during last week’s Superstar Shake-Up. Ricochet, the man whom Black has been teaming with since being called up to the main roster, is still listed under the Raw roster.
Fightful has reached out to WWE for comment on the matter.
As fans may know, Black and Vega are married in real life and WWE kept married couples together during the Superstar Shake-Up. Andrade is dating Charlotte Flair, who is part of the SmackDown brand.
Fightful will provide more information as it is known.
