The April 16 edition of WWE SmackDown was night two of the superstar shake-up and a night that saw several new faces make their way over to the blue brand.

Last night’s WWE SmackDown was the second and final night of the 2019 superstar shake-up that saw some big names change from red to blue and where some of Raw’s acquisitions are being criticized, one could make the argument that SmackDown’s acquisitions are solid from top to bottom.

But out of every new addition to the blue brand, which moves should be considered the best?  Let’s take a look at the five biggest winners from night two of the superstar shake-up.

5. Bayley

Arguably no superstar has had as inconsistent of a main roster run over the past couple of years as Bayley.  She had a ton of potential when she made her main roster debut towards the end of 2016 and even won a Raw Women’s Championship, but inconsistent booking and a lack of direction at times has haunted The Hugger.

She did start finding some success again in recent months alongside Sasha Banks when the two won the newly-added WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.  Since losing the titles at WrestleMania, however, The Boss ‘N’ Hug Connection appears to be over with rumblings about Banks’ status in the WWE and now, Bayley is the newest member of SmackDown while Banks is technically still on Raw.

This is a good move for Bayley, a superstar that has needed a change of scenery for a while now.  If her tag team days are indeed behind her, a move to Tuesday nights can help elevate Bayley back into a prominent singles position once again.  Seeing fresh matchups and feuds should be greatly beneficial for The Hugger on her new brand moving forward.
