WWE Draft 2017/Superstar Shake-up results: Complete list of transfers

Modified Apr 26, 2019 11:29 GMT

How will these massive trades shake up the red brand?

#12 Kevin Owens

SmackDown Live this week started with a bang, as the United States Champion made his way to the blue brand. ‘The Face of America’ carried his mid-card championship to SmackDown, like Dean Ambrose did with the Intercontinental Championship on the red brand. Kevin Owens should be a great addition to the brand and we’re certain he’ll elevate SmackDown Live to the next level with his matches and promo skills.

#13 Sami Zayn

Where Kevin Owens goes, Sami Zayn follows

These two men are really destined to fight forever. Though Sami Zayn teased staying on Raw, it turns out that he’s now a part of SmackDown Live. We think SmackDown will definitely book the man in the right manner. Honestly, this trade should be more of a boon for Zayn than anyone else at the moment. We do hope they’ll keep Owens and Zayn apart for the foreseeable future, to keep their rivalry fresh.
