It’s finally here, the Superstar Shakeup begins tonight on Monday Night RAW as the landscape of wrestling entertainment will change forever (or until next year’s WrestleMania).
WWE superstars from RAW and SmackDown Live will be shuffled in some unspecified way. Will one for one trades be how it’s done? Will RAW receive two superstars for every one SmackDown pick like last year’s draft? Who knows at this point, but this is all leading to new and (hopefully) fresh stories, reunions and breakups.
The Superstar Shakeup is a two-night event between Monday Night RAW and SmackDown Live so not all of the moves will be done tonight but follow along with us as we rundown every move made over RAW’s three hours.
NOTE: This list will be updated throughout the evening.
