WWE News: Full List of Superstars That Have Joined Smackdown Live During Superstar Shake-up

Here are the list of names that have been added to the WWE Smackdown Live roster following this week’s edition of Smackdown in Montreal. The list comes from WWE.com:

Roman Reigns
Intercontinental Champion Finn Bálor
Elias
Bayley
Ember Moon
Kairi Sane
Lars Sullivan
Buddy Murphy
Mickie James
Liv Morgan
Chad Gable
Apollo Crews
Heavy Machinery (Otis and Tucker)

Some of them were not even on Smackdown this week, but they were on the list on WWE.com, so they are official.

It’s obvious that this hasn’t been organized or planned that well because Lars Sullivan was on the Raw list that was posted yesterday and now he’s on Smackdown.

Currently, Smackdown has both Intercontinental Champion Finn Balor and United States Champion Samoa Joe. Apparently, Samoa Joe was really sick yesterday, so he wasn’t on Raw as scheduled. That suggests he might be a Raw guy, but there’s no official word on that.

Nikki Cross did not appear on the list of either Raw or Smackdown, so maybe she is going to be announced later in the week.

Here are some videos and tweets about the moves.
