After two nights of non-stop surprises, WWE has posted its final roster list of the names and talents who changed shows during Monday and Tuesday's Superstar Shake-up. The company didn't hold back, using big names from each show to completely overhaul each roster.

1) Jinder Mahal
2) Ruby Riott
3) Sarah Logan

By the time Raw was done, they had new heels who could be top stars, brought in women from SmackDown Live's Women's Division and a host of tag teams. They even used video vignettes to introduce names like Corbin or exclusive backstage interviews on WWE.com for talents like Chad Gable and Mike Kanellis.
The highlights of the night were Jinder Mahal starting the show and losing the U.S. Title to Jeff Hardy in the opening match. If that wasn't kicking things off with a big enough bang, within minutes, The Riott Squad took out Sasha Banks and Bayley, Kevin Owens, and Sami Zayn were awarded contracts thanks to a letter from Stephanie McMahon and The Miz was traded to Tuesdays without his Miztourage.
Dolph Ziggler may have had the moment of the night as he switched and brought with him the debuting Drew McIntyre in an odd but effective pairing and Bobby Roode ended the night by making Raw "Glorious!"
Between the post-WrestleMania show and Monday's shake-up, Raw was a completely different looking program.
The following Superstar was sent from to Monday Night Raw to SmackDown Live during the first night of the Superstar Shakeup:
1) United States Champion Jeff Hardy
2) Mandy Rose
3) Sonya Deville
4) Samoa Joe
5) Big Cass
6) Asuka
7) Luke Gallows
8) Karl Anderson
9) Cesaro
10) Sheamus
11) R-Truth
* The Miz (Selected on the first night of the Superstar Shake-up)

Tuesday started with Jeff Hardy coming to SmackDown Live and bringing the U.S. Title back with him. Absolution essentially swapped places with The Riott Squad but are now back on the same show as their mentor and SmackDown GM Paige, Samoa Joe called out almost everyone and Big Cass decided to target Daniel Bryan.
The show also included Asuka officially becoming part of the blue brand, The Good Brothers coming to the show that has their old Bullet Club leader Styles on it and The Bar made the SmackDown Tag Division perhaps the stronger of the two shows. Andrade "Cien" Almas debuted, the company announced SAnitY was coming and, like Raw, SmackDown Live was significantly changed.
By the time SmackDown Live had concluded, fans were giddy with the anticipation of a number of dream matches that could take place over the next few weeks. From The Miz finally meeting up with Daniel Bryan to Samoa Joe facing off against AJ Styles, the blue brand has all sorts of quality options to offer the WWE Universe.
WWE's Superstar Shakeup accomplished what it set out to do which was dramatically change the faces of each show. Amazingly, they were able to do so without moving any of the company's biggest stars. Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman, AJ Styles, Brock Lesnar, Daniel Bryan, Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, and Shinsuke Nakamura all stayed where they were.
It goes to show the depth WWE has on its roster right now. Between the NXT grads who will leave a mark on each program, the twists and turns WWE offered and the names who will now represent new colors, WWE can offer fans fresh matchups, new feuds, and interesting ideas.
The first two shows where the WWE Universe will get to see how all these changes affect storylines is Backlash and The Greatest Royal Rumble. Now mixed-brand pay-per-views, moving guys in the middle of beefs with other stars doesn't mean those beefs need to end.
