On this week’s episodes of Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live, the WWE will hold a Superstar Shake-Up two night event.
Tonight saw the Riott Squad make their Raw debut when they interrupted a grudge match between Sasha Banks and Bayley. The Riott Squad would use the numbers game to lay out both Banks and Bayley:

Later in the evening, during a backstage segment, Raw General Manager Kurt Angle met with Ronda Rousey and surprised her with the news of Natalya moving over to the Raw brand:

Natalya would go on to pick up a win over Mandy Rose. Post-match, Sonya Deville and Rose began to double team against Natalya but Rousey would make the save:
