WWE Superstar Shakeup 2017: Updated Raw Roster
How does the Raw roster look after the WWE Superstar Shakeup?
On Monday night, Raw hosted the first night of the WWE Superstar Shakeup. It featured plenty of transactions, including Superstars moving to the Flagship show and others going to SmackDown Live. “Discussions” took place during the past week.
Well, things changed for Raw the moment the show started. This saw John Cena’s music play, but instead turned out to be the Miz and Maryse dressed as Cena and Nikki Bella, respectively. They did their cosplay of the Power Couple, until Dean Ambrose interrupted. Michael Cole was quick to note all three being part of Raw.
Before this, Apollo Crews became the first WWE Superstar to switch shows. He appeared in a backstage video three hours before the event started, which saw him get interviewed about moving from SmackDown to Raw.
Below is an updated list of the confirmed members of Raw, which will be ongoing through Monday and Tuesday night. This also includes who has shown up on the program, and is subject to change with one show still to go.
- Alexa Bliss
- Apollo Crews
- Bayley
- Big Show
- Braun Strowman
- Bray Wyatt
- Cesaro and Sheamus
- Chris Jericho
- Curt Hawkins
- Dana Brooke
- Dean Ambrose
- Emma
- Enzo Amore and Big Cass
- Finn Balor
- The Golden Truth
- The Hardys
- Heath Slater and Rhyno
- Kalisto
- Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows
- Mark Henry
- Maryse
- Mickie James
- The Miz
- Nia Jax
- The Revival
- Roman Reigns
- Samoa Joe
- Sasha Banks
- Seth Rollins
- Titus O’Neil
- WWE Cruiserweight Division
It’s a short list of who is sticking around on the show, which should be more known over the next few days. Main event talents could be on the move, as well as members of the Women’s division. We already saw Ambrose, the Intercontinental Champion, move, so that may mean other titleholders make the switch.
With the Lunatic Fringe moving, that may mean Kevin Owens is on his way to Tuesday nights. He’s the WWE United States Champion, having won the belt from Chris Jericho at WrestleMania 33. Does that mean their feud is off?
