More On Why WWE Moved Aleister Black To Smackdown

News broke prior to RAW this week that WWE is splitting up Ricochet and Aleister Black as a tag team. Ricochet is staying on RAW and Black is moving over to Smackdown.

This was confusing as it came only one week after they were assigned to RAW together in the Superstar Shake-Up.

So why did WWE move Black to Smackdown?

Here are the reasons according to Mike Johnson of PWInsider:

“Black was moved, at least in part, due to the fact he is married to Zelina Vega, as WWE has made an effort to keep married couples on the same brand, but we are also told there were some ideas pitched for him as part of the blue brand”

My Take: I am actually excited about this as I think they are both better as singles stars. I am hoping that Black thrives on Smackdown as he is very talented.
