Andrade And Zelina Vega Are Moving Back To SmackDown Live
Posted By: Ryan Satin April 22, 2019
Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned Andrade and Zelina Vega are moving back to SmackDown Live, despite being drafted to Raw in the Superstar Shake-Up.

It’s unclear why the duo is being moved back, but sources tell us the decision was made internally by upper brass following last week’s Shake-Up.
A quick glance at WWE.com shows Andrade and Zelina are once again listed as SmackDown stars.
As it currently stands, Zelina’s husband Aleister Black is still listed on the Raw roster. However, if you change the option to list SmackDown stars, Aleister is also now there as well. His profile picture on Facebook also previously changed to a red background, but they’ve now made it blue.
We’ll keep you updated if any additional information is made available.

UPDATE: Aleister Black is now officially listed on WWE.com as a SmackDown Superstar. His profile also says, “After the 2019 Superstar Shake-up, Black set his sights on changing the landscape of SmackDown LIVE.”

this company ain't got a clue what they wanna do with so many people rn

Did they realize how hard they fucked SmackDown or something? Moving both Andrade and Aleister? This legit angers me. I was really looking forward to Andrade Is War on Raw.

 

[Leon TrotSky]

I swear they never think anything through.

 

[Smart Marx]

Ain’t that the truth.

Nobody think it was these three who wanted to stay on smackdown?

 

[Smart Marx]

They did that with Lars too. He was drafted to Raw and then showed on SmackDown the next night.

Not until I hear that was the case. I also doubt they’d move Aleister to SmackDown because Zelina wanted to stay on Tuesdays.

Yeah, its not like they've specifically kept all the couples together for this shake up

Charlotte wanted Andrade on Smackdown with her and Vega had to come along....so they had to bring back her hubby

I don’t know the percentages, but it definitely seems likely when Aleister moved out of the blue and without Ricochet. It seems to me they wouldn’t move two talents because they wanted to stay, but more likely realized the balance in the shakeup was off.

Now that seems more likely. So can I hate on Charlotte then?

No because Él Ídolo, Roman and Kofi are all on SD. So I don’t need to watch RAW

Despite the Superstar Shake-up being last week, it seems that WWE is not done moving people around.

Dave Meltzer has confirmed Pro Wrestling Sheet’s report this afternoon that Andrade and Zelina Vega were moved back to SmackDown after initially being moved to Raw. Additionally, Aleister Black’s WWE.com profile has been moved from Raw over to SmackDown and will be part of that brand going forward. He and Ricochet had been teaming up since being called up from NXT, and were confirmed to be a part of the Raw brand last week.

Additionally, Meltzer has confirmed that Cesaro has been moved to the Raw brand. This would effectively break up The Bar tag team with him and Sheamus. John Pollock was the first to report the move.

It should be noted that with the changes, WWE has attempted to keep most of the couples on the roster in the same brand. Black and Vega were married recently, and Andrade is currently in a relationship with Charlotte Flair.

Other couples, such as Naomi and Jimmy Uso, were also moved together in the Superstar Shake-up.

Looks like I'm right.

RIP The Bar
