A week after WrestleMania 35, WWE announced the Superstar Shakeup on both RAW and SmackDown. In the Superstar Shakeup Superstars from NXT, 205 Live, RAW and SmackDown can be moved to either RAW or SmackDown.
On RAW, we had quite a few surprise names that were announced for the red brand. We will learn about more Superstars moving between the red brand and blue brand tomorrow on SmackDown Live.
Let's take a look at all the confirmed Superstars for WWE RAW after the Superstar Shakeup:
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
#1 The Miz
Trending
The Miz faced off against Shane McMahon at WrestleMania 35 and lost the match despite plowing Shane from the top of a camera platform. Shane and Stephanie McMahon opened RAW this week, and while Shane was on the mic, The Miz's music hit and The Miz attacked Shane from behind before a brawl ensued. The commentators announced that The Miz will now be on RAW.
#2 The Viking Experience, Ricochet, Aleister Black
Current NXT Tag Team champions, War Raiders, were rebranded and added to RAW as The Viking Experience, and now will go by the ring names Erik and Ivar. They were involved in an eight-man tag team match where they teamed up with The Revival to take on Aleister Black, Ricochet, and current RAW Tag Team champions, Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder. The Viking Experience kicked off their first night on RAW with a win.
Ricochet and Aleister Black have been on a great run on RAW and SmackDown since being announced for the main roster, and even had a great match at NXT Takeover: New York against two of their opponents on RAW, The Viking Experience. The two high-flying, athletic Superstars will now be on the red brand.
#3 Andrade and Zelina Vega
Andrade was Finn Balor's mystery opponent and arrived on RAW with Zelina Vega. Andrade got the win over the Intercontinental champion after a distraction from Vega helped the former SmackDown and NXT star.

#4 Lars Sullivan
Lars Sullivan got the call-up to the main roster a few months ago but didn't debut due to personal issues. He returned to WWE RAW last week, destroying Kurt Angle. He brutalised another WWE legend in Rey Mysterio this week as he was another name confirmed for the red brand.
#5 The Usos
Following The Viking Experience's move to RAW earlier in the night, The Usos too made the switch to RAW after accepting Chad Gable and Bobby Roode's challenge. The six-time tag team champions lost their SmackDown Tag Team belts last week to the Hardy Boyz, but got the win on their first night on RAW.
#6 Cedric Alexander
Following Mustafa Ali's switch to the main roster, former Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander, was moved to the red brand from 205 Live, this week on RAW. Alexander joined the WWE in 2016 and was on 205 Live since then.
#7 Sami Zayn
Sami Zayn had his home crowd in Montreal at the palm of his hands for a good five minutes before he turned on them this week on WWE RAW. Zayn returned to WWE television last week after being out of action for 9 months due to a shoulder injury. Zayn will be on the red brand from now.
#8 Naomi
Sasha Banks wasn't on RAW this week, and with rumours doing the rounds that she may be leaving, WWE used that rumour to have a backstage segment where Bayley, Banks' tag team partner was concerned when speaking to her on the phone.
The IIconics, current women's tag team champions mocked Bayley, and told her to find a partner to face her.
Naomi, former SmackDown Women's Champion, moved over to RAW and she was victorious on her first night on the red brand as she and Bayley defeated The IIconics in a tag team match.
#9 EC3
EC3 was one of the many stars called up to the main roster a few months ago, and today was confirmed for WWE RAW. EC3 challenged any Superstar to a match and he was met by Braun Strowman, who destroyed EC3, putting him through the stage as the match didn't even begin!
#10 Eric Young
It seems that Sanity have disbanded as Eric Young was the only one to be called up to RAW this week on the Superstar Shakeup.
#11 Lacey Evans
It seems that WWE have high hopes for Lacey Evans, the former NXT Superstar. Evans had slapped Women's champion Becky Lynch last week and that feud continued this week too. Evans interrupted a segment between Lynch and Natalya, and the two had a #1 Contenders match for the right to be Becky Lynch's next opponent. Evans won the match and will face Becky for the RAW Women's title in the future.
#12 AJ Styles
The biggest call-up of the night was reserved for the last. Former WWE Champion AJ Styles made the switch to the red brand, after being on the blue brand for a majority of his WWE career since signing for the company in 2016.
Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns were to team up with a mystery Superstar from SmackDown to take on the team of Drew McIntyre, Baron Corbin and Bobby Lashley. With Dean Ambrose having left WWE, Rollins and Reigns teamed up with Styles, who was announced as a new Superstar for the red brand.
