1. Kevin Owens/Sami Zayn

The Shane McMahon/Daniel Bryan anti-authority gig Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn were peddling on SmackDown had run its course, and it was high-time they made the jump. Well, they didn't really have an option to be honest, after being fired from the blue brand at WrestleMania.

Using Stephanie McMahon as an explanation for why KO/Sami showed up on Raw was genius too. At once, WWE furthered Steph's need to snipe at Kurt Angle as payback for WrestleMania and secured the flagship two major stars.

That's how to write closure on one chapter and open another in the same breath.

Owens and Zayn can work as a tag-team, as individuals and even as opponents again further on down the line when it suits. They're some of the most flexible names on the WWE roster right now, and that makes them the biggest (not to mention best) move in the Superstar Shakeup thus far.
