The Superstar Shake-up edition of Monday Night RAW on April 15 was eventful. It might not have been the best episode of RAW, often underwhelming, but it had its moments.
The night often electrified the crowd; most notably, when a hometown hero made his comeback. Some phenomenal superstars were drafted. Then, there was a monster who wreaked little havoc, The Man and The Lady of WWE made their presence felt too, adding another chapter to their rivalry.
A superstar sat in the middle of the ring, evoking great heel reactions from the crowd before being interrupted by the greatest Luchadore to step in a WWE ring.
RAW, in parts, was ‘must see’ because of the superstars involved. In this article, we present the top 3 stars of the night.
Honorable Mention: The Miz
The most "Must-See" Superstar is a part of RAW again. The A-Lister was the first SmackDown Star to come to RAW on Monday night. And he celebrated his arrival by tearing into Shane McMahon. It was great, and The Miz, as always, looked like a star. Hence, he deserves an honorable mention.
#3 Andrade
'El Idolo' Andrade, along with his business associate, Zelina Vega, have come to Monday Night RAW. And the 'multilingual' super athlete has made a statement on his first night on the red brand.
Andrade defeated Finn Balor, the Intercontinental Champion, and looked like a star during the entire match. Yes, it was at Finn Balor's expense, which would certainly raise eyebrows. But both Vega and Andrade couldn't have made a better arrival on RAW.
The man is a special performer, he's already shown that on SmackDown. Now, it's time that WWE pushes Andrade. He is amazing. In fact, he's the Mexican star WWE always wanted Alberto Del Rio to be.
#2 AJ Styles
Though the A-lister, the most must-see WWE Superstar, The Miz, became a part of RAW during the Superstar Shake-up, there was another draft that has received the most attention. As the final draft on Monday night RAW, The Phenomenal One, AJ Styles arrived on RAW.
Was it shocking? No.
We had all been expecting the man who calls SmackDown the house he has built to come to RAW. Yet, it was amazing to see him arrive. He had been part of the blue brand ever since the brand split, it's time that Styles gave us some dream feuds on RAW.
He was the mystery partner to Roman Reigns and AJ Styles in the night's main event, putting on an unsurprisingly good performance. But, if he'd just come and stood there, it would have still been special.
These are exciting times for the red brand, and we just can't wait to see AJ Styles challenge Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship.
#1 Sami Zayn
Oh, Sami Zayn, how has he been hiding this guy inside all the while? Ever since he's come back from his 9-month hiatus, he's just decided to rip into all of us, the WWE Universe, and it's been awesome.
Zayn had stated last week that he thought WWE had become “toxic” because of the fans. He had torn us all apart for having lives devoid of any meaning and for being critics, informing us that he'll hold us accountable each and every week.
This week, the poor audience at Montreal had bought the idea that they'd be welcoming their hometown hero. For a while, Zayn played along, dancing and celebrating with the crowd. Then, he said,
“This city is great, it's just the people that I can't stand.”
Zayn hilariously ripped into the Quebecers, even reminding everyone that he lived in “sunny” Orlando, Florida.
This segment was unbelievably entertaining. From the welcoming hello to the disgruntled goodbye, it made for the most entertaining part of RAW last night. The whole segment also made Sami Zyan the ultimate STAR of the night.
