WWE finished up its Superstar Shakeup with this week’s episode of SmackDown Live in Montreal. It was less confusing than Monday Night Raw but still featured some strange storytelling that doesn’t make all that much sense, at least not right now.
Wait and see and all that.
Here’s the full list of wrestlers who are now a part of the blue brand:
- Finn Balor
- Ember Moon
- Bayley
- Kairi Sane
- Lars Sullivan
- Buddy Murphy
- Elias
- Roman Reigns
SmackDown made out really well here, adding one of the top stars in all of WWE while bolstering its women’s division in a big way.
Update: Because WWE is never, ever clear on anything they do, and makes every little thing just as difficult as possible, they released an updated list on the company website that adds four more names who are coming to SmackDown:
- Liv Morgan
- Mickie James
- Chad Gable
- Apollo Crews
That breaks up The Riott Squad, and leaves Bobby Roode without a tag team partner, something you’d think they would make time to mention on SmackDown.
But, you know, WWE.
Update #2: They’re either slowly releasing the information or still figuring it out, but they added a tag team to the blue brand as well.
- Heavy Machinery
We’ll let you know if more people (such as Nikki Cross, who is still without a home), are added.
