The fans were elated for Monday Night RAW this week as the annual Superstar Shake-Up was scheduled to take place. Following an exciting episode of the flagship show last week, Vince McMahon's billion dollar company managed to keep the momentum this week.

Without a shadow of a doubt, AJ Styles was the biggest draft to RAW as the Phenomenal One main evented the show. Rey Mysterio was another notable name who landed on the red brand, but he was mauled by Lars Sullivan this week. The former Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander was a surprising name as he was drafted from 205 Live.

Moreover, The Miz swapped brands, but he is likely to continue the feud with Shane McMahon as the former had a brawl with the latter. The former SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos will be aiming to dominate the RAW Tag Team division after arriving on the flagship show while Naomi also swapped brands. Andrade defeated the Intercontinental Champion Finn Balor in his RAW debut, and the Viking Experience got drafted from NXT.

Here we discuss three things Vince McMahon's billion dollar company hinted at on RAW this week.

#3 We might not see the Boss N Hug Connection again

Sasha Banks' future is in serious jeopardy, and it could be the end of Boss N Hug Connection. Following the arrival of Naomi on RAW, the former SmackDown Women's Champion teamed up with Bayley to take on the IIconics. It was a non-title bout, but they defeated the current Women's Tag Team Champions. However, the Hugger subsequently got drafted to SmackDown Live where she participated in an eight-woman tag team match.

Sasha Banks and Bayley won the inaugural Women's Tag Team Titles, but they lost the twin belts at the Showcase of Immortals where they put the belts on the line against three other teams. Peyton Royce and Billie Kay grabbed the twin titles in New Jersey.

Boss N Hug Connection had impressive momentum but it got derailed after their loss at the Show of Shows. We have not seen Sasha Banks after WrestleMania, and it will be interesting to see if the Boss stays in the company. It is unlikely that the four-time RAW Women's Champion will switch brands after the Superstar Shake-Up.

Bayley might get a singles push if the Boss N Hug Connection breaks up. Considering Bayley was a former NXT Women's Champion and RAW Women's Champion, she definitely deserves to be a top-tier superstar of the women's division. Bayley confronted Becky Lynch on SmackDown Live and the former could be aiming to grab the most coveted women's title of the blue brand.

#2 Sami Zayn might become a top heel on RAW

There is no denying that Sami Zayn is immensely talented in the squared circle, but he is showing his proficiency on the mic after his return from the injury. The former NXT Champion returned last week on RAW. Zayn locked horns with Finn Balor last week, but he lost the bout. Though the fans were delighted to see him after ten months, he turned heel.

Zayn delivered an awe-inspiring promo last week which elevated his stature as a heel. As a matter of fact, he continued it this week in his hometown when he appeared on 'A Moment of Bliss.' Zayn got a colossal reaction from the WWE Universe, and the company might utilize it.

Despite being an underutilized superstar on the main roster, the former NXT Champion has huge popularity in the WWE Universe. Zayn has not been able to replicate the success of NXT on the main roster. He was effective as a bad guy in the developmental brand, and Vince McMahon could be planning an astounding heel run for the former NXT Champion.

#1 The Usos will rule the RAW Tag Team division

The Usos were traded to RAW on the Superstar Shake-Up. The twin brothers defended the SmackDown Tag Team Titles successfully at the Show of Shows. Nevertheless, they lost the twin belts on the SmackDown Live after WrestleMania where they tussled with the Hardy Boyz.

It was not a surprising sight to see The Usos on RAW this week as many people speculated it after they lost the titles last week. The former SmackDown Tag Team Champions have been part of the blue brand since the reintroduction of the brand split. They dominated the tag team division of the blue brand where they won the SmackDown Tag Team Titles four times.

It is no secret that the RAW Tag Team division has been substandard in the last few months and the addition of the Usos will be a big boost for the red brand. They are competent enough to produce some crazy matches on the flagship show. Jimmy and Jey will be aiming to grab the Raw Tag Team Titles after showing their supremacy on SmackDown Live.
