It is the Superstar Shake-up week, and RAW was expected to be a great show. Vince McMahon's billion dollar company did not let down the fans as we witnessed a stellar episode of the flagship show.

Since it was the annual WWE Superstar Shake-up after the Showcase of Immortals, several superstars from the blue brand arrived on RAW.

The Miz was the first name to switch brands as he attacked Shane McMahon when the latter opened the show. Andrade made a strong statement after he defeated the Intercontinental Champion, Finn Balor. Cedric Alexander is a new name on RAW as he left 205 Live, while NXT's Viking Experience arrived on the main roster, they were known as War Raiders in the developmental brand.

The Usos became part of the flagship show after dominating the SmackDown Tag Team division for three years. Naomi also got drafted to RAW, while Rey Mysterio is another notable name who will appear on the red brand every week.

However, AJ Styles is the biggest name to be traded from SmackDown Live, and the Phenomenal One main-evented the show this week.

Here we discuss three biggest things WWE told us on RAW this week.


#3 Lars Sullivan is the new Legend Killer

Following a memorable debut last week, Lars Sullivan continued his dominion this week. The Freak attacked Kurt Angle on the red brand last week, and he subsequently mauled The Hardy Boyz on SmackDown Live. Surprisingly, he dismantled Rey Mysterio this week, who just switched brands on the Superstar Shake-up.

Judging by the incidents from last week and this week, Sullivan is picking out legendary superstars to make a statement. Considering Vince McMahon is building him to be a new monster, it is undoubtedly an excellent way to build his momentum. Sullivan is swift in the ring and he could have a bright future if he is booked well.

The Freak might manage to get a match at Money in the Bank, and he might face another legendary superstar. Since the debut of Sullivan, he is gradually becoming a new Legend Killer of the company.

#2 Lacey Evans and Becky Lynch will steal the show at Money in the Bank

Since winning the main event of WrestleMania, Becky Lynch became the ultimate face of Vince McMahon's billion dollar company.

The double champion did not have to wait long for her next opponent, as Lacey Evans attacked The Man on RAW last week, and it continued on SmackDown Live. The two women will face each other at Money in the Bank, and the match got confirmed on RAW this week.

The Sassy Southern Belle and Natalya squared off on the flagship show to decide the number one contender for Lynch's RAW Women's Championship. It was the first singles match of Evans on the main roster, and she definitely impressed the fans. The Lady pinned Natalya after an excellent moonsault from the top rope.

The Sassy Southern Belle showed her proficiency in the squared circle this week, and she is a deserving candidate to face The Man. Evans proved that she could back her words with actions.

The feud has already garnered the attention of the WWE Universe, and it is expected to get better in the next few weeks. Judging by the performance of Evans against Natalya, she could go toe-to-toe with the double champion.

#1 AJ Styles could be the new challenger of Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins made history at the Grandest Stage of Them All by becoming the new Universal Champion. Lesnar's future is uncertain, and he is not likely to get a rematch. Hence, it will be interesting to see who becomes the new challenger of Seth Rollins at Money in the Bank.

AJ Styles was traded to RAW this week, which was a great move by the chairman. The Phenomenal One was a favorite to swap brands as he had been part of the blue brand since the introduction of the brand split.

SmackDown is the house that AJ Styles built, and he will be aiming to do the same after arriving on the red brand. Considering Styles locked horns with a majority of the superstars on the blue brand, the fans will be eagerly waiting to see fresh feuds of the former WWE Champion.

The Phenomenal One closed the show this week, which suggests that Vince McMahon might keep him in the main-event picture following his arrival on the flagship show. Seth Rollins is searching for a new opponent, and there is no better opponent than the two-time WWE Champion.

However, both superstars are currently babyfaces. Therefore, we might expect a heel turn from either of the superstars if Styles becomes the new challenger of the Universal Champion, Seth Rollins.
