1) Kevin Owens Is On The Blue Brand!
This weeks episode of Smackdown Live kicked off with a major ‘Superstar Shake-Up’ announcement. Kevin Owens is now a member of the blue brand!
He is also bringing along with him the WWE United States Championship. This comes a day after Dean Ambrose took the Intercontinental Title with him to RAW.

Smackdown Live is now the KEVIN OWENS show!
2) KO Teases A Canadian Title?
Kevin Owens insulted the Boston crowd in attendance, letting them know that Canada was the superior country to the United States.
Considering that Owens is the United States Champion, we have to wonder if WWE is going to turn this into a storyline where we see Owens attempt to transform the belt into the Canadian title?
“It’s a known fact that Canadians make better athletes than Americans!” Interesting choice of words from @FightOwensFight. #USTitle #SDLive pic.twitter.com/vpHMs2vHba

Seems like they could have been hinting at this with the amount of insults from Owens to the U.S.A. We will have to wait and see what happens.

Clarification: Tamina was never officially part of either brand because she was out for injury and then she was caring for her ailing father.
