Bit of an actual shakeup with Raw tonight. They are doing the superstar switching by having the other people come over, so for Raw, they got Miz/Maryse, Ambrose, Curt Hawkings, Kallisto, Apollo Crews, Wyatt (I assume perhaps Rowan, he's still on Smackdown on their website though), Bliss, Mickie James, and Slater/Rhyno for the tag team. I feel like Smackdown lost too much by losing the IC belt with Ambrose. That leaves no unique belt with Smackdown, while Raw gets the US belt, IC Belt, and Cruiserweight belt. I'm not sure how they are justifying this. Really makes Smackdown look abit lacking in that department, but it was a nice shift in mid tier guys for Raw.
Also, this might've been the best backstage beatdown I've seen since coming back to wrestling 2 years ago. It felt very Attitude era in its brutality and it all looked great. Strowman decimated Reigns in multiple beatdowns, leading him getting pushed off the back docks bound in a gurney and then Strowman would flip the ambulance onto its side in a fit of rage. Its too ridiculous, but damn was it entertaining and I'm not saying that in wanting a beatdown on Roman. Incredible way to make off with the heat on Roman for taking out Taker, while building up Strowman as a legit beast.
Zayn will likely go to Smackdown tomorrow which is cool and I'm curious to see who else they might allow. Looking at who is on the roster, I genuinely don't know as far as bigger names. I'd say Jericho maybe as I think he's done with the Owens feud after today. Getting him and Styles going at it would be great. I want to say Cesaro and Sheamus perhaps together? They got a match against the Hardy's at Payback, so that would guarantee them not winning, but both of them together would be good and they could do solo stuff too. Honestly, I have no idea who else. It feels like Smackdown is really lacking right now, so they could use something big for sure.
