SmackDown LIVE preview: Which Raw Superstars are headed to the blue brand tonight?

After losing Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose, The Miz, Bray Wyatt, Alexa Bliss and more,
who will SmackDown LIVE bring to the blue brand to replenish their ranks as the Superstar
Shake-up continues tonight?

Which Raw Superstars are headed to SmackDown LIVE tonight?

The first night of WWE’s Superstar Shake-up changed the very landscape of Monday Night Raw,
but what do SmackDown LIVE Commission Shane McMahon and General Manager Daniel Bryan have up
their sleeve in retaliation? Have the competitors heading to Team Red provided the WWE Universe
clues as to who is headed to the blue brand tonight?
For instance, one day after the fans found out Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose would be
making Raw his home, could United States Champion Kevin Owens be heading to SmackDown LIVE to
balance the title picture?
After Raw General Manager Kurt Angle indicated that Sami Zayn is very important to both brands,
is The Underdog from the Underground destined to battle the likes of Baron Corbin and AJ Styles
beginning this Tuesday night? With word that Alexa Bliss and Mickie James are now a part of
Team Red, is WWE’s flagship show likely to lose Charlotte, Sasha Banks, Nia Jax, Emma or
even Raw Women’s Champion Bayley?
While we’re on the subject of titles, what happens if Raw’s Women’s or Tag Team Champions are
sent to SmackDown LIVE? If Raw Tag Team Champions The Hardy Boys, for example, end up on
Tuesday nights, does that mean we will have two tag team champions on one show and none on
the other?

Will The Usos end up battling American Alpha in a Tag Team Title rematch?

Speaking of tag team action, Commissioner Shane McMahon announced on WWE Network’s Talking
Smack last week that American Alpha will get their SmackDown Tag Team Championship rematch
against The Usos tonight on SmackDown LIVE… assuming both teams are still on the blue
brand following the WWE Superstar Shake-up that is.
Can Jason Jordan & Chad Gable overcome Jimmy & Jey Uso and reclaim the titles they had a
stranglehold on for months? Or, will The Usos keep Jordan & Gable in a perpetual state
of paranoia, leading to their first successful title defense? Will the match even take place?

Is SmackDown LIVE prepared for “horror-ible” possibilities at WWE Payback?

Last night, not only did we learn that Bray Wyatt is now a Raw Superstar, but after
he invoked his WWE Title rematch against Randy Orton in a House of Horrors Match at
WWE Payback, is it possible that he will be taking WWE’s most coveted title with him?
Was this the reason why Raw Commission Stephanie McMahon picked The New Face of Fear in
the first place?

Should SmackDown LIVE’s new arrivals unpack their bags?

Last week, Shinsuke Nakamura and Tye Dillinger debuted on SmackDown LIVE to an incredible
reception. In the land of opportunity, arguably no two Superstars are more suited for the blue brand.
But, as the Superstar Shake-up continues, will their stay on Team Blue prove short-lived?
Or, are huge Superstars like Braun Strowman and Big Show on their way from Raw to try
and crush the hopes and dreams of these up-and-comers before they’ve cleaned out their NXT lockers?
Find out the answers to this and more when the Superstar Shake-up continues,
