SmackDown, RAW and NXT all have their own rosters, but sometimes there's a draft where stars switch brands. The WWE Draft may be a few months away, but that hasn't stopped WWE from shaking things up a bit and moving some of its talent around and more importantly, adding fresh new talent to the main roster.

Perhaps the biggest beneficiary of this has been SmackDown's women's division, which was looking a bit thin on the ground following several spells of talent releases. The blue brand was in desperate need of new faces.

And new faces is exactly what the blue brand got as WWE has debuted a plethora of new and exciting talent from NXT on SmackDown over the last few weeks, as well as bringing over someone from RAW and evening bring back a released star.

Without further ado, here are the five new stars that WWE has added to SmackDown's women's division.


#5. and #4. Shotzi and Tegan Nox debuted as a new tag team on SmackDown

Tegan Nox and Shotzi (Blackheart) made their SmackDown debuts two weeks ago when they took on WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Natalya and Tamina and defeated the champs on their debut in a non-title match.

They were last seen messing around with their tank backstage on last week's SmackDown, where they accidentally shot a rocket from the tank into Baron Corbin's crotch. So basically, they're destined for greatness already!

#3. Naomi is moved from RAW to SmackDown

Until a few days after she moved to SmackDown, Naomi was a RAW Superstar. She even appeared in the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder match as one of the four WWE Superstars from the red brand.

Naomi is yet to make her first appearance for the blue brand, but people are already hoping she gets treated better than she has been. Some are even suggesting she could join her partner in The Bloodline as the stable's female competitor.


#2. Zelina Vega returns to WWE on SmackDown

Zelina Vega was a return to WWE that nobody saw coming. She had left the company under controversial terms following a row over WWE Superstars having their own Twitch accounts, her husband Aleister Black had been released, and he'd debuted for AEW.

But Vega returned to WWE nonetheless and was immediately added to the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match. Unfortunately for her, on top of losing that match, she's also lost all of her other matches on SmackDown since returning.


#1. Toni Storm makes her SmackDown debut

Toni Storm is one of the people that has beaten Zelina Vega on SmackDown as she faced the WWE Superstar on her SmackDown debut last week, and picked up the victory with Storm One.

Storm has all the makings of becoming a top, top star, not just in WWE's women's division, but in general. She was always going to end up on WWE's main roster eventually, and the fact she has now is very exciting for watchers of SmackDown.
