WWE Smackdown 'transfer' shake-up for stars as Matthew McConaughey takes to the ring
Multiple WWE stars have switched brands as Matthew McConaughey made a surprise SmackDown appearance.
The shake-up sees many brawlers depart Raw with both brands able to retain their own talents for an extended period. During the latest Friday night SmackDown, The Miz and Damian Priest moved from Raw to Smackdown and the A-Town Down Under tag team of Austin Theory and Grayson Waller was moved to Raw.
SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis told The A-Lister of his trade during a backstage scene. The Miz, meanwhile thought he was invited to interview Kevin Owens to help boost viewers. Once he found out about the trade, he cast his mind to The Wyatt Sicks who could have The Miz in their crosshairs.

Oscar-winning actor Matthew McConaughey was also in attendance and was seen during the broadcast. Additionally, after the show, McConaughey joined WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes in the ring to act as Cody’s “guest picker” for a fan giveaway.
