Powell’s POV: Yes, Lars Sullivan was listed in both sections. He was listed on the WWE website’s official list for Raw talent during Smackdown, and then he was announced as being a Smackdown wrestler during the Smackdown television show. He was eventually removed from the Raw list, so it appears as though he is officially a Smackdown wrestler. WWE announced four moves online shortly after Smackdown, then assigned Otis and Tucker of Heavy Machinery a couple hours later. NXT call-up Nikki Cross has not been assigned to a brand as of this update.

None of these people matter except for the Miz. What about the iiconics? That’s what the world is really wondering?
So boring. Balor is as bland as they get!
IIconics are Raw,Smackdown and NxT via being the tag team champions.
I hope they finally give Liv Morgan at least a little bit of a push now that she’s on Smackdown. She deserved way better than she got on RAW, as did the rest of the Riott Squad.
Agreed. Liv has such a great energy and is easy to root for. Always felt bad watching as she’d get jobbed out.
Elimination Chamber (for the tag belts) she finally got some run in that match and was given some credibility.
What impresses me about Liv is she shows no fear. Even against Rousey she stood her ground and although got her ass kicked she gave it a go. She will be a fantastic babyface when she turns.
Did Samoa Joe go to Raw?? I am assuming he did, since the IC belt is now on smackdown, move the us belt to raw?
