RAW is Superstar Shakeup - 4.15.19 ***Official Thread***
 

Well, should be interesting.

Plans change, pal.

Will probably get rewritten 2 more times before it starts.

Calling it now, the new "A Show" will be whichever show gets Sami Zayn!

I love how Becky is the focus of this picture that was posted on WWE.com

I wish the women's titles had different names.

Youd think Owens would have no problem getting to RAW. Bring back the Kevin Owens Show

Superstars are Shooketh

Steph gotta booty I'd love to be stinkfaced by

It starts!

https://media.tenor.com/images/14ba0...0017/tenor.gif

make Steph say it again

I think I've had enough of Graves and Renee.

Oh joy the mcmahons start the show

Time for Miz to show up and switch shows for the 3rd year in a row

FOX will want the guy with the USA reality show off of their network

Mike Rome filling in for Greg Hamilton.

So are they actually doing trades or just having peeps randomly show up?

END THIS!

WRAP

IT

UP

Yep. Miz. Knew it.

I think Miz will make a good face

Miz busted open

bloody Miz

There hasn't been a single draft since the second brand extension where Miz hasn't changed brands :nono:

I hope this means he's going to get back in the Intercontinental title picture.

Rabbit punching Shane busting people open since Day 1ish

Miz bleeding profusely while he holds up a chair. Not the visual I expected.

While Miz changing shows every year is kinda lame, WWE's hands were tied with this one.

A little bit of an edgier direction perhaps?

I hope they don't fill the United States and Intercontinental titles again.

LOL that sound effect for Ricochet's entrance. Fuck's sake.

Did they add bullet sounds to Richoett's entrance?

Oh God when did they add the stupid Speedy Gonzales bullet sounds to ricochets entrance

I think it was meant for the match graphics.

Aleister Black on Raw.

Andrade/Zelina definitely going to Raw then.

Match graphics or not, its a dumb new addition.

Same for Black's creaking sound effect for his rise.

Aleister black the blue collar champion

I think The Shield mystery partner from Smackdown will be K.O

Actually this would also mean Charlotte going over too probably.

They're generally pretty good at keeping couples together.

The Shield has had more final chapters than Terry Funk has had retirements.

War Machine up? Oh fuck

The Viking Experience.......WHAT THE FUCK

lol the Viking Experience

:lol: at the Viking Experience

:lol: they even changed their ring names.

Morons run creative in WWE.

The Viking Experience? Why the fuck have they done this?

Fuck it. I'm out. I lasted 20 minutes.

And he's already ruined the war Raiders good f****** job I hate Vince McMahon so much

Sara Logan should be in The Viking Experience.

shoulda called em the RAW Raiders

fuck this

What in the blue hell was wrong with war raiders? Also, they aren't Hanson and Rowe anymore either? Lol

Shadows of NYC mentions, take a shot

What were they called before? War Machine?

War Raiders is way better than The Viking Experience lol. It's not even close.

The Viking Experience...lol

Ohhh ok.


Ya, Viking Experience sounds really dumb.

lol Michael Cole.

" Double team coming from the... VIKING EXPERIENCE "

I hope the XFL causes Vince to go bankrupt.

This shake up seems like the worst one yet.


Also I do not care about this match..... wow and it is still going on.

Cole and Graves just confirmed that these competitors aren't necessarily drafted to RAW. Nothing is certain until the end of Smackdown.

Welcome to Main Event The Viking Experience , lots of matches against The Ascension.

Corey Graves was confused. The crowd was confused. Viewers will be confused when they go under one name on NXT and one name on Raw. Great job.

The Viking experience HUSS HUSS HUSS

They just had one of the best matches of Wrestlemania weekend and now this , poor guys.

WTF at Viking Experience

WORST

NAME

EVER

No One from NXT is ever allowed on the main roster again.

Nope.

The Minnesota Viking Raiding Krew

Even if they wanted to avoid the name War Raiders because of the word "War".......the VIKING EXPERIENCE?!?!

Shoulda just called them the Berzerkers

I am curious to know the thought process behind this name change. Was it a legal / trademark issue or one of those "Vince things".

Cedric the Sports Entertainer

Oh fuck, just realized if they're calling up champions.......

Bye bye Velveteen Dream :(

Considering the commentators kept messing up the name, maybe it wasn't a wise idea to rename someone as Ivar.

Who cares where Cedric Alexander is

How long before Cedric Alexander loses his last name?

Hot

Raw got me wanting to snort Chantix

Yeup, that was their name in ROH and NJPW.

In terms of their ring name, Hanson was still Hanson while Rowe had a first name that got chopped when he went to NXT as part of the War Raiders name change.

leave it to rp to have gay viking porn

AHAHAHHAAHAHAAA.... started watching late....

Losing it at them changing War Raiders to "The Viking Expereince" and changing their names too.....

I do. It's nice to see him move up from 205 Live. Also, he's no longer restricted by the weight limit.

Andrade a good choice

Charlotte coming to RAW

dat ass

Finally, the 3-hour format has become more bearable. Andrade has arrived :love:

Even though he's married to Vega and the rule is to not split couples, I'd laugh if Aleister Black goes to Smackdown after Cole and Graves teased about him and Ricochet's appearance tonight doesn't mean they were drafted yet.

why isnt it quoi?

Andrade rules...

I am unsure where Zelina's promo is going.

Andrade :lol:

same... turned it on during that and was like "what..."

Chavannah lol

Man, I’m so glad I don’t watch anymore.

#RIPWarRaiders

:y: El Idolo won.

Vega just tiltawhirled herself into the side apron.

A solid bout.

LOL, did Cole actually just slip up and say WM was 8 days away? :lol:

Good match

I think this move to RAW will be great for Andrade
