Tonight, on the With Spandex WWE Raw open discussion thread:
Monday night marks the beginning of the two-night Superstar Shake-up, in which the landscapes of both Raw and SmackDown LIVE will change dramatically. Who will remain on Team Red, and which new Superstars will be added to the Raw roster? (via WWE.com)
Honestly, there aren’t a lot of talking points for this week’s shows other than, “who will end up on Raw, who will end up on Smackdown, and how will this affect literally every story going forward?” You can’t get too into Cesaro and Sheamus’ quest to unseat the Hardy Boyz as Tag Team Champions or whatever because the team could get split, and we could never hear doot doot doot-doot-doot Sheamus and Cesaro again.
Finn Bálor is back. Will he end up turning The Club into the Bálor Club like we all thought was going to happen, or will they go to Smackdown and hang out with AJ Styles? Or will Bálor and Styles end up on Raw together while the Club sits over at Smackdown with their thumbs in their butts?
“Who will challenge Brock Lesnar” is another big talking point, but we won’t know that until we know who’s staying on Raw and who isn’t. See how this goes?
As always, we’re including 10 of our favorite comments from tonight’s open discussion thread in tomorrow’s Best and Worst of Raw column, so do your best and reply to your favorites with a +1 to nominate them for consideration. Bonus points if you can tell us who ends up on Smackdown and who ends up on Raw before the show starts.
Enjoy the show, and shake it up!
