Two Confirmed SmackDown Roster Additions, WWE Payback Title Match Winner To Join (Videos)

By Marc Middleton

WWE United States Champion Kevin Owens is now on the SmackDown brand, unless he loses the match to Chris Jericho at the April 30th WWE Payback pay-per-view. Owens' roster change was revealed in the opening segment of tonight's "Superstar Shakeup" edition of SmackDown from Boston but SmackDown General Manager Daniel Bryan later announced that the winner of Jericho vs. Owens will be joining SmackDown. That means that the United States Title won't be defended until after Payback. Owens is expected to win that match as Jericho is taking time off to tour with Fozzy.

That same opening SmackDown segment saw Sami Zayn come from RAW to the blue brand.

It was also revealed in a backstage segment that Jinder Mahal is now on SmackDown. As seen below, he challenged Mojo Rawley to a match.
