Tonight’s WWE RAW will take place from the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island with night 1 of the two-night “Superstar Shakeup” event.

No matches have been announced for tonight but WWE is focusing on the following points:

* How will the Superstar Shake-up impact Team Red?

* Finn Bálor is back!

* Who will challenge The Beast Incarnate?

* Cesaro & Sheamus lock onto The Hardys’ titles

* Will Chris Jericho get payback against Kevin Owens and Samoa Joe?

So I don't expect a huge amount of storylines to progress what with the "Superstar Shake-Up" thing happening but it will be interesting to see what happens at least.

So they're selling this Raw on the superstar shakeup alone then... It's weird not seeing any matches announced.

This has the potential to see a serious let-down of an episode. All depends on who you want moved and who you don't.

If the right guys get sent to RAW we could have some good 'first time ever' matches on RAW. I'm hoping anyway.

I'm just interested in how they're going to do it. The drafts were one of the faults of the last brand split, with how they handled them. Hopefully they've learned from that.

Teams need to go as one is a must for me. It's an incredibly lazy way to split up a team otherwise. Would rather a story behind it to kick-start the one they prefers singles career. Split up on brand split is garbage.

I'm more hopeful over this than I have been ever over previous drafts... Mainly because they've kept away from using the word draft which makes me think that things will be different this time around.

Now that is how it is done. Delighted with how they handled it as it was miles better than how they used to do them. Brand Split 2.0 definitely appears to be a lot better run than the first one. Lessons learned.

So whilst we don't know who is going to Smackdown yet, we do know the following are now on Raw:
Apollo Crews
The Miz & Maryse
Dean Ambrose
Curt Hawkins
Bray Wyatt
Kalisto
Rhyno
Heath Slater
Alexa Bliss
Mickie James

The womens division on Smackdown is going to need beefing up that's for sure.
