-- The SmackDown roster had 13 new additions when WWE's "Superstar Shakeup" concluded on Tuesday night.
Charlotte Flair switched brands in the shakeup after the SmackDown women's division lost Alexa Bliss and Mickie James on Monday. She had pretty much been written off of Raw following a loss to Nia Jax last night.
She was joined by Tamina, who was announced first as Shane McMahon teased that it would be Charlotte. Tamina has been working SmackDown house shows since returning to the ring earlier this year.
The show's tag team division also got a boost as it was revealed that all three members of The New Day are coming to SmackDown soon. Like Charlotte, their departure from Raw was a given after Big E & Xavier Woods were defeated by The Revival on Monday night. Those two will be representing The New Day in the ring for at least the immediate future as Kofi Kingston is out with an ankle injury.
In addition to the previously announced Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, and Jinder Mahal, they joined The Shining Stars, Sin Cara, Rusev, and Lana as SmackDown's newest roster members.
Lana was announced separately from Rusev (who underwent shoulder surgery in March) with a video that showed her dancing.
The Raw roster had 11 new additions at the end of Monday night as part of WWE's post-WrestleMania overhaul.
Alexa Bliss and Mickie James rounded things out by moving over from SmackDown. They were the first regular women's wrestlers to switch brands (in addition to Maryse), with more changes coming tomorrow as the "Superstar Shakeup" continues with the announcement of SmackDown's arrivals.
Bliss figured to be a candidate to move over to Raw after dropping the SmackDown Women's Championship to Naomi at WrestleMania and then losing a rematch on television. She interrupted a segment where Sasha Banks and Bayley were teasing dissension, then James came out as well after Bliss said that she was ready to put SmackDown behind her.
Nia Jax ended the segment by cleaning house, though Bliss was spared in the process.
UPDATE: WWE also revealed after Raw went off the air that David Otunga is coming to Monday nights to join the show's announce team as Byron Saxton takes Otunga's place on SmackDown.
Below is the full list of wrestlers who joined the Raw roster on Monday night:
Apollo Crews
The Miz
Maryse
Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose
Curt Hawkins
Bray Wyatt
Kalisto
Heath Slater
Rhyno
Alexa Bliss
Mickie James
-- Another WWE couple has tied the knot.
Renee Young confirmed on Twitter this morning that her and Dean Ambrose have gotten married. She wrote: "Marriage is nice. Thanks for all the love."
Speculation about their marriage began when Ambrose wore a ring on his finger on this week's episode of Raw. Young also wore a ring on Talking Smack on Tuesday, with both Dolph Ziggler and Kevin Owens making references to her marriage.
Young and Ambrose's relationship has been featured on Total Divas since Young joined the show's cast. It was also part of a television storyline when they were briefly programmed with The Miz and Maryse before the latter's feud with John Cena and Nikki Bella began.
They were placed on separate brands in WWE's "Superstar Shakeup" this week as Ambrose landed on Raw and Young stayed on SmackDown.
Both Young and Ambrose have been victims of harassment over their relationship. In an interview with Vegas Seven magazine last month, Young said that she's gotten "many" death threats from a section of Ambrose's fans and Ambrose said that he's been stalked "fairly regularly."

I care as well. Not so much because I care about Tamina as much as I care about her not being on the same show as Alexa Bliss!, which significantly reduces the chances of her potato-ing Alexa with one of those superkicks.
