Earths rotational velocity is decreased (longer days) and added to the moon which increases it's potential energy (distance relative to earth), increases it's orbital height, and increases the period of it's orbit (the lunar month).
But once the lunar month = earth day the transfer will stop and the moon will slowly approach earth again, until it hits the roche limit and becomes a ring.
