SmackDown Live Results: Superstar Shake-Up Continues on Tuesday

It's the second night of WWE's Superstar Shake-Up and the landscape of the blue brand will be changed drastically if the show preview is anything indication.

According to the official SmackDown Live preview, Mr. McMahon is set to reveal the "biggest acquisition in SmackDown Live history." Could the likes of Roman Reigns or Braun Strowman - who we predicted would move - be a new fixture on Tuesday nights?

SmackDown Live lost some heavy hitters to Monday Night RAW. The Miz, The Usos and AJ Styles all swapped brands, and now it's SmackDown's turn to bolster their roster with some RAW superstars and NXT call-ups.

One story carrying over from last week is Paige's declaration that she will bring a tag team for the Women's Tag Team Champions, The IIconics, to challenge. This has led to plenty of speculation: are we about to see the debut of Kairi Sane and Io Shirai - the Sky Pirates - on Tuesday nights? We can also get a pair of RAW women like the Riott Squad to show up. We'll just have to wait and see.

Now that some SmackDown talent have moved to RAW, who will be WWE Champion Kofi Kingston's first feud? Perhaps a superstar from Monday Nights will appear to make a splash and challenge the New Day member. With Big E on the shelf due to injury, the group are not at full strength, but Kofi is up for any fight.

Like Monday, this week's episode of SmackDown Live should have a numerous implications for both shows moving forward. Here's everything that happened on the April 16 episode of SmackDown Live.
