At the start of the Superstar Shakeup, The Miz, Maryse, and Dean Ambrose revealed that they were moved to Monday Night Raw. The latest episode of Raw opened with John Cena’s music playing only for The Miz and Maryse to come out dressed up as Cena and Nikki Bella.
This was eventually followed up by Dean Ambrose arriving and congratulating The Miz and Maryse on getting engaged as if they were Cena and Nikki. To end all the confusion, The Miz clarified his identity to Ambrose and informed him that all three superstars were being moved from SmackDown to Raw.
Ambrose is the current Intercontinental Champion, so his presence on Monday Night Raw could indicate that United States Champion Kevin Owens will be moving to SmackDown to supplement the loss of a midcard championship.
If these roster moves are permanent, then it opens a lot of doors for several storylines and feuds; including a Shield reunion. Curt Hawkins too returned to Raw, only to see himself get knocked out by Big Show.
On the other hand, Sami Zayn and Raw GM Kurt Angle indicated that there was lot of interest in him from SmackDown and Zayn leaving could supplement the loss of The Miz and Maryse.
Raw continues to stack the house with stars; hopefully, SmackDown can maintain some of their star power as the Superstar Shakeup Progresses.
In one of the biggest shocks of the night, Bray Wyatt confirmed his move to Raw after a video package aired with the Face of Fear sending a message to Finn Balor.
That’s not all, as WWE announced Kalisto and Heath Slater & Rhyno as the new additions to Raw:
Alexa Bliss and Mickie James became the latest additions to Raw. Also, Elias Samson made his main roster debut, however, he didn’t get much TV time and just drifted away!
