WWE Raw preview, April 16, 2018: The 2018 Superstar Shake-up begins
Where will your favorite Superstars end up when Raw and SmackDown LIVE get shaken up in a special two-night event? Don’t miss the first night of the Superstar Shake-up Monday at 8/7 C on USA Network. Also on Raw, “Woken” Matt Hardy & Bray Wyatt battle The Revival in the final round of the Tag Team Eliminator, and contentious best friends Booley and Sasha Banks square off one-on-one.
>Both brands get shaken up
One week after NXT Superstars Ember Moon, No Way Jose and The Authors of Pain rocked the foundations of Monday Night Raw, the red brand gets shaken up again in the 2018 Superstar Shake-up, when Raw Superstars will move to SmackDown LIVE and vice versa.
Will Braun Strowman’s path of destruction take him to Team Blue? Might we see SmackDown LIVE stalwarts like Shinsuke Nakamura or Becky Lynch join the red brand? Which teams will be split up, and which alliances will be re-forged? The Superstar Shake-up begins on Raw and continues the following night on SmackDown LIVE, and you won’t want to miss a moment.
>Who will battle Cesaro & Sheamus at WWE Greatest Royal Rumble on April 27?
Due to Braun Strowman’s tag team partner Nicholas’ scheduling conflicts — he’s in fourth grade, after all — the newly crowned Raw Tag Team Champions were forced to relinquish their titles, prompting Raw General Manager Kurt Angle to schedule a Tag Team Eliminator to determine who will battle former champions The Bar in Saudi Arabia at WWE Greatest Royal Rumble.
2018 Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal Winner “Woken” Matt Hardy successfully teamed with former nemesis Bray Wyatt to defeat Titus Worldwide last week, while The Revival conquered Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson on the same night. This coming Monday night, Raw’s Woken tandem will take on the “Top Guys” for the right to challenge The Bar on April 27, live on WWE Network. Who will advance?
<Booley and Sasha Banks settle their differences
Things have been tense between longtime friends Booley and Sasha Banks in recent weeks, and even though they clashed in the first-ever WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal, there’s still a lot of unfinished business between them.
After The booable one inadvertently attacked The Boss during Banks’ match against Mandy Rose, Booley and Sasha will battle one-on-one on Raw in Hartford, Conn. Will this bout mark the end of their friendship, or will it signal the beginning of their reconciliation?
<Will Ronda Rousey face repercussions after attacking Stephanie McMahon again?
In an impressive WrestleMania debut, “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey teamed with Kurt Angle to defeat Stephanie McMahon & Triple H, doing some serious damage to the Raw Commissioner’s left arm in the process.
When Stephanie attempted to “befriend” Ronda and put the WWE “machine” behind The Baddest Woman on the Planet, Rousey saw through the façade and went to work on Stephanie’s arm once again, further damaging the injured limb.
The McMahons aren’t known for taking disrespect lightly, so what awaits Ronda when she enters Raw on Monday?
>Will Roman Reigns get his hands on Samoa Joe?
One night after getting physically mauled by Universal Champion Brock Lesnar in the main event of WrestleMania, Roman Reigns was the recipient of a verbal assault by Samoa Joe the following night on Raw.
Claiming that The Beast “exposed” Reigns as a “failure,” The Samoan Submission Machine revealed that after Lesnar once again conquers The [LOUD BOOING] in their Universal Championship Steel Cage Match at WWE Greatest Royal Rumble on April 27, Reigns will face further punishment at the hands of Joe at WWE Backlash on May 6.
How will Reigns respond?
>What “unfinished business” does Bobby Lashley have in WWE?
Social media erupted this past Monday night when Bobby Lashley returned to WWE, interrupting Elias and laying out the sinister songsmith with an incredible stalling suplex.
Surely, this powerhouse didn’t re-emerge to simply spare the WWE Universe from Elias’ latest disrespectful tune. In an interview with WWE.com after his return, Lashley claimed he had “unfinished business” and that he aimed to prove he can hang with the intense competition in WWE today. Who will be his first opponent?
Don’t miss the first night of the Superstar Shake-up on Monday Night Raw, live at 8/7 C on USA Network!
What show will be screwed over the worst?

So it looks like the side of the ring is a solid LED wall now? When did that change? I remember when they used to store all the "extra" tables, steel chairs, trashcans, etc under the ring, and every show everyone was surprised when they got pulled out and used. What happened to that? Was actually a pretty good schtick

So…. The #1 heel is now being moved to the B-show.
Bore Lezsnore signed to contract that allows both real fighting and wrastlin
Could this be to prep Bore into the Red Team King-of-the-Heels position?

Last year it was worse, just some random person from the other brand enters. They did do that somewhat tonight but at least they did SOME buildup on occasions. Better than last year but nowhere as good as the WWE Draft.
Decent show overall, better than last week. Both Hardy matches were good.

Also, followup, does anyone know if Bore's new contract is such that I stop having to see fucking Jimmy John's ads the entire time he's deciding if he's gonna do a german suplex or an f5, or just flex and sweat and show off his massive rosatia?

Like honestly Buck Fuckster is one of the worst things to happen to wrastling… MAYBE I would be interested if he beat up his female NIA counterpart – talentless fat fuck match. Old school cover the tables in thumbtacks kinda shit. THAT would be pop but vince would never do it…

Might be time to go back to the 90's era of a million titles on each show, followed by some solid undercard feuds. There's too many people to rotate with Bork holding the title hostage.
Fuck, even if he wasn't, the roster is just too big for what they have going on. You can only hold some of these guys in midcard Hell and Dolph purgatory for so long

Or how about dropping all the SJW shit, have stories with mystery again (like mankind or kane stories long ago), 3-way rivalries instead of this team-based (like Mankind vs The Tock vs Stone Fold).
I mean shit even 5-10 years ago had interesting aerial art performs and whatnot, that seems to all have been dropped for 70% "crawling in pain" matches.. maybe has something to do with increasing the schedule from 1/2 broadcast and 1/2 house shows to 6 day a week? Even still, no excuse for this garbage to have gotten as shitty as it is. 90% of my entertainment anymore is seeing something that reminds me of back when wrastling was entertaining to watch.
WWE Bookers/Writers: Since I know you're reading this, PLEASE pay attention. The cuckfaces that are paying for your product now obviously wil lpay for ANYTHING no matter the quality, so why not try to pander to folks with actual standards and win back the growth you've been missing for an entire generation.

Could old Zack Ryder be considered /ourguy/ since he basically got on wrastling by complaining and yelling "wooo" on the internet a lot (and thus Vince thought he could cash in summore)?

> Ryder made his return to ECW on May 5, 2009 in a backstage segment with General Manager Tiffany. He now sported short hair, tanned skin, sunglasses, a headband, half-trunks/half-tights, displaying something of an arrogant Long Island guido character and more frequent uses of catchphrases "woo woo woo" and "you know it", that he had used sparingly in the tag team.[36][37] He lost to Finlay in his first singles match, on the May 7 Superstars.[38] His first win was on the May 19 ECW on Sci Fi over a jobber,[37] in what is now known as the "exploding trunks" match due to the jobber suffering a wardrobe malfunction during the match.[39]

You have to watch Main Event on Taima streams tuesdays after smackdown and 205 live or on hulu to see the RAW cruiserweights segments. After it was rumored haich took over 205, they were dropped off the main show roster and instead take up half the slots of the Main Event show that's supposed to be for midcarders and below that don't get to shine on the main show, where "perma-jobber" teams like Heath Slater and Rhyno can actually win.

She's not much of a striker, it was her Olympic level Judo skills which helped her the most in her fights. Once she took down her opponent, lock in the armbar and that was it. Probably lucky that her first number of fights were against a comparatively weaker roster of women than it is now.
