— With the exception of top stars, most talent was not told whether they would be moving to a different brand as part of the Shakeup, notes the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Some wrestlers originally from Raw were told to stay “in town for promotional work” only to be told the next day that they were moving to Smackdown.
