Shakeup (Not?) completed:

Finn Balor, Ember Moon, Bayley, Elias, Roman Reigns, Liv Morgan, Apollo Crews, Chad Gable, Otis and Tucker have gone to the blue brand from red, Buddy Murphy comes from 205, and Kairi Sane has steeped up from NXT to form a new tag team with Asuka, they will be managed by Paige. Free agent Lars Sullivan looks to have joined the blue team, although it was suggested he was going to be red yesterday, so that may need to be cleared up.

Samoa Joe has been confirmed as going to Raw. WWE hoped to make the change on TV, but Joe was too unwell to be unveiled on the night.

Despite the on screen and social media changes being finished, WWE say they may announce more incidental changes on their site later in the week.

Second star quits:

Alexander Wolfe has seemingly followed Harper in quitting WWE this week. He took to social media to say goodbye to WWE, citing the split of his Sanity group as the final straw for him with the promotion. There is though some speculation that he may be dropping back into NXT for a repackage, as he is still officially, for now at least, under contract.

Factions split:

Sanity and Riott Squad have been broken up, at least in their previous form, in the superstar shakeup.

Real life couple Charlotte and Andrade have also been separated.

Sasha vs WWE:

Sasha reportedly (Meltzer) no showed Raw after Bayley told her WWE were splitting their team in the roster draft, further upsetting her.

Alum awarded:

Darren Young will receive an award for his advocacy work in relation to LGBTQ athletes, and the help he has given to people across many sports to feel empowered to follow in his footsteps and come out.

RKO bandit arrested again:

The 18 year old school boy arrested for performing an RKO on his principal has been arrested again after damaging a $4,000 alligator display at a Florida shopping centre, by, you guessed it, performing an RKO on it.

John Cena in big talks:

John Cena has the chance to be a part of the sequel to 'Suicide Squad' he is in talks for a role.

Injuries:

Daniel Bryan and Sheamus are dealing with unspecified injuries. WWE are keeping Bryan's knock, which happened at Mania, a closely guarded secret, leading to some concerns about his history of concussions.

Top indies start WWE careers:

Kusida, Shane Strickland and Garza Jr,  reported for their first day of WWE work, at the PC today.
