Raw returns to the Bell Centre, the home of multi-time Stanley Cup Champion Montreal Canadiens, after appearing in April of last year. On that night, Kevin Owens received a huge pop from his hometown of Montreal as he was cutting a promo with Roman Reigns (whom they were desperate to get over at the time, and figured let\u2019s have Kevin Owens turn on his hometown faithful in order to do that.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s what\u2019s advertised for tonight\u2019s show:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Matches &amp; Segments:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>WWE gets shaken up<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Storyline Follow-Up:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lacey steps to \u201cBecky Two Belts\u201d<\/li>\n<li>The Universal Freakin\u2019 Champion awaits his next challenge<\/li>\n<li>Bobby Lashley strikes back<\/li>\n<li>The Big Dog protects his yard<\/li>\n<li>Irwin R.

I couldn\u2019t help it, it\u2019s tax day.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>ADVERTISED MATCHES AND SEGMENTS<\/h3>\n<p><strong>The Superstar Shakeup Begins<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll keep the focus of the preview here. Let\u2019s be honest, this is what we\u2019re thinking about tonight. You\u2019re not worried about matches or segments. You want to know who\u2019s going where and who may or may not be coming up from NXT.<\/p>\n<p>The most notable moves to Raw last year (at least at the time) were Jinder Mahal, Baron Corbin, Bobby Roode, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, and Dolph Ziggler. Heading to Smackdown were Jeff Hardy, Samoa Joe, Asuka, The Miz and The Bar (Cesaro &amp; Sheamus) amongst others. Drew McIntyre made his debut on Raw coming up from NXT. Andrade (\u201cCien\u201d Almas at the time) did the same as he was announced as coming to Smackdown.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2762510612\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Thus far this year, WWE has teased potential moves as The Bar and New Day made an appearance on Raw last week before performing at their regular address of Smackdown. Braun Strowman and Drew McIntyre both appeared in separate segments on Smackdown. Braun went after U.S. Champion Samoa Joe and Drew teamed with The Bar to face New Day.<\/p>\n<p>Drew walked out out the six-man tag match. I was in the building as I previously reported in my Smackdown on-site report. Out of the blue he flailed his hands at the ring, and walked out through the crowd with a security escort. People speculated on various websites that he was injured, but nothing was apparent and nothing has been confirmed by WWE. Big E was hurt in the match during a spot with Cesaro and this has been confirmed by WWE. The rumor is Drew was booked to walk out in order to protect him from being involved in a loss.<\/p>\n<p>(Now they want to protect Drew? He\u2019s lost to Dolph Ziggler, Finn Balor, Roman Reigns, and been on the losing end in multiple tag matches in the last five months.)<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the tweet confirming Big E\u2019s injury:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">INJURY UPDATE: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWEBigE?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@WWEBigE<\/a> has suffered a torn meniscus and is currently not medically cleared for action. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3DugEuGEfK\">https:\/\/t.co\/3DugEuGEfK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; WWE (@WWE) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWE\/status\/1116459565476929536?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 11, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>WWE isn\u2019t really teasing anyone moving specifically, but they do discuss the impact Lars Sullivan and Lacey Evans have had thus far. Tonight, the shakeup unfolds.<\/p>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: Rather than rack my brain trying to figure out who\u2019s going where, I\u2019ll give you who I think needs to be separated for now and who could use a change in scenery:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>(1) Split Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. I could see Roman going to Smackdown given the FOX debut. Let Seth have his own show and not have to worry about Roman getting back into the Universal Championship picture.<\/p>\n<p>(2) Split Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair. With Ronda Rousey taking leave, Charlotte could slide into the #1 heel spot on Raw. In addition, please get Charlotte and Becky on opposite shows. I beg of WWE.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-4056389119\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>(3) Usos and the Smackdown tag division. The Raw tag division desperately needs a top team.<\/p>\n<p>(4) Get A.J. Styles off Smackdown. I just think he needs a change in scenery and if they do it, hopefully the line up good opponents for him.<\/p>\n<p>(5) Related to item #4, get Finn Balor off Raw. It\u2019s been a while and I think Smackdown is better suited for his character. I suppose you\u2019d have to flip Samoa Joe to Raw with the U.S. title, but I can work with that. That\u2019s complicated because they teased Braun Strowman to Smackdown last week; however, that could have been more of a tease of a feud between he and Joe with the result of Joe going to Raw. If Joe drops the U.S. title, he can feud with Seth Rollins over the Universal Championship as they have moderate history.<\/p>\n<p>(6) They teased Drew McIntyre to Smackdown as he tagged with the Bar, but walked out on them in the main event. They teased the Bar on Raw last week as well. There should be follow-up on this as it could keep Drew occupied until he\u2019s ready to challenge for a championship whether it be on Smackdown or Raw. I sense one of the parties involved here moves. It\u2019s not crazy to imagine the Bar breaking up and doing something with Sheamus and McIntyre.<\/p>\n<p>(7) Separate Aleister Black and Ricochet. As much as I\u2019ve been able to recalibrate myself and enjoy their tag team work, let\u2019s get these guys separated and have them start their singles pushes.<\/p>\n<p>(8) Split Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. I don\u2019t need to explain this, do I? If Owens is a babyface this time with Sami as a heel I suppose it\u2019s ok as I alluded to on the Smackdown post-show with Wade Keller and Jason Solomon. That\u2019s me more rationalizing it than thinking it\u2019s a good idea.<\/p>\n<p>(9) Don\u2019t be surprised to see New Day come to an end. I\u2019m not completely confident on that, but with Big E on the shelf they could explore leaving Kofi on his own as WWE Champion and seeing what Xavier Woods can do on his own. Merchandise sales could get in the way of that.<\/p>\n<p>(10) Get the Revival off Raw. I advocated for their move last year and I do so again. A feud with the the Hardys would be nice to see.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a toss-up for everyone else. A lot people have been on the same show since 2016 or their debut such as Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura. Daniel Bryan has been on Smackdown, but I don\u2019t know that I\u2019m dying for him to go to Raw. I get the sense Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Kyle O\u2019Reilly, Bobby Fish, and Roderick Strong) could be headed north as they\u2019ve done all they can do in NXT. Oddly enough, I feel like Bobby Fish has a singles push in him, but they\u2019d likely bring the whole group. Kairi Sane &amp; Io Shirai could be Paige\u2019s tag team she talked about on Smackdown. Pete Dunne coming up after dropping the NXT UK title is the craziest thing in the world either.<\/p>\n<p><strong>STORYLINE FOLLOW-UP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lacey Evans and Raw &amp; Smackdown Women\u2019s Champion Becky Lynch<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Last week on both Raw and Smackdown, Becky Lynch celebrated her win over Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania. I talked about her Raw promo in last week\u2019s Smackdown primer and of course you can review it in both Wade Keller\u2019s and Zack Heydorn\u2019s Raw reports here at PWTorch.com.<\/p>\n<p>On both shows, she was interrupted by the \u201cSassy Southern Belle\u201d Lacey Evans. On Raw, Lacey\u2019s music hit while Becky was leaving the ring. After a brief stare down, Lacey hit her Woman\u2019s Right on Becky. After being down briefly, Becky charged at her and both women brawled. Becky nearly got the Disarm Her on Lacey before the referees pried her off.<\/p>\n<p>Lacey attacked Becky again on Smackdown. It looks like these two will be working together in the near future given what happened last week. The trash talking begins:<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/beckylynchwwe\/status\/1116824805687406593?s=21<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/laceyevanswwe\/status\/1117574237898850307?s=21<\/p>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: It\u2019s possible Lacey ends up on Raw, although given WWE is talking about this for tonight I could see it being a decoy and she ends up on Smackdown. If they move Charlotte to Raw, I don\u2019t see having Lacey and Charlotte on the same show as heels. It\u2019s a toss-up, but Lacey being Becky\u2019s first opponent is interesting. I agree with long-time PWTorch columnist Bruce Mitchell as I need to see more from Lacey, but I\u2019m interested in seeing that \u201cmore\u201d as her character certainly has my attention. By the way, go VIP to hear all of Bruce\u2019s great work on the Bruce Mitchell Audio Show as well as the Post-PPV Roundtable discussions.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Universal Champion Seth Rollins\u2019 Next Challenger<\/h3>\n<p>Seth Rollins remains the Universal Champion after he and WWE Champion Kofi Kingston wrestled to a no contest following the Bar\u2019s (Sheamus and Cesaro) interference in their winner take all match.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, he cut his victory promo and acknowledged he may have used \u201cquestionable tactics\u201d in defeating Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania for the championship. He of course referring to the low blow he delivered with the referee down. Nonetheless, he celebrated with the fans and said \u201cwe deserve it\u201d and the fans chanted the often used \u201cyou deserve it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tonight, amongst learning whom will arrive on Raw, we find out who will be Seth\u2019s next challenger or at least the process of determining said challenger.<\/p>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: I discussed Drew McIntyre being a challenger. It could be Baron Corbin, as he could make his case saying he retired Kurt Angle and deserves a title shot. Corbin wouldn\u2019t be terrible as he could be a foil to give Rollins a first successful title defense. Lars Sullivan could be hot-shotted as we\u2019ve seen callups and debuting wrestlers get thrown right into the title picture. We\u2019ll have to see who ends up on Raw as there are many variables.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Next Up for Bobby Lashley<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Last week, Bobby Lashley was to face Dean Ambrose in Dean\u2019s final match in WWE. It turned into a brawl with Lashley laying out Dean on the announce table in front of his wife, Raw commentator Renee Young. The match never took place.<\/p>\n<p>Lashley and his manager Lio Rush were in a foul mood as Lashley was coming off losing his Intercontinental Championship to Finn Balor for the second time in two months at WrestleMania. With the Superstar Shakeup ready to unfold, it\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess what is next for Lashley. Here\u2019s a tweet from Lashley suggesting he may be filling out a change-of-address form:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">So <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SuperstarShakeup?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SuperstarShakeup<\/a> next week huh? I\u2019ve been holding down <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Raw?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Raw<\/a> every week, but maybe it\u2019s time to go somewhere I\u2019m actually respected and treated fairly. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TheAllMighty?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TheAllMighty<\/a> has made <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SDLive?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SDLive<\/a> great in the past&#8230;why not let the best athlete in the world shine bright on Tuesday nights?<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Bobby Lashley (@fightbobby) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/fightbobby\/status\/1116016105406050305?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 10, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: I\u2019m meh on whether or not Bobby Lashley moves to Smackdown, but I wouldn\u2019t oppose it. I\u2019m more interested in how his character is utilized. It has been overall better since the heel turn, and Lio Rush being more serious on the mic has certainly helped. A fresh set of opponents would be nice as I\u2019ve seen all of him vs. Finn Balor and\/or Braun Strowman I can take. I could see something working with Rey Mysterio as Rey always works well with a contrasting style. They could revisit his feud with Kevin Owens if Owens stays on Smackdown as they never addressed that since Owens\u2019 return. Ali would work in the same way Rey would. There\u2019s definitely some options if Lashley moves.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Roman Reigns\u2019 Yard<\/h3>\n<p>Roman Reigns was victorious over Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania in his first singles\u2019 match back from leukemia treatment. He was not on Raw last week, but WWE alludes to him being on the show tonight. It could be to set up his next feud, or perhaps be a farewell should he be moved to Smackdown.<\/p>\n<p>Roman has been on Raw since the return of the brand split in 2016. He came up in 2012 as part of the Shield (he, Seth Rollins, and Dean Ambrose). Since then he has been a WWE World Tag Team Champion with Seth Rollins, a three-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion, U.S. Champion, Intercontinental Champion, WWE Universal Champion, and won the 2015 Royal Rumble.<\/p>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: WWE is going to want big stars once Smackdown is rolled out on FOX. While Seth Rollins and Kofi Kingston hold the company championships, let\u2019s be honest Roman Reigns is still their guy. With Dean gone, I\u2019d get the two of them separated. Let Rollins have Raw and give Roman a fresh start with a new set of opponents. The Smackdown audience could be a little more forgiving of Roman as well. I like the idea of Roman and the Usos together, but I don\u2019t sense that\u2019s a priority for WWE and I see the Usos coming to Raw nonetheless. I think I care more about splitting Roman and Rollins anyway.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Other Possible Items for Tonight<\/h3>\n<p>\u2022 The announcers may discuss Nia Jax going on the injured list as she will have surgery to repair both ACLs. WWE acknowledged as such on their website and on Twitter:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">INJURY UPDATE: @NiaJaxWWE will be out of action as she undergoes surgery to repair both of her ACLs. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/yKcepbzjr0\">https:\/\/t.co\/yKcepbzjr0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; WWE (@WWE) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWE\/status\/1117083883131084800?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 13, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Alexa Bliss defeated Bayley in essentially a squash match last week. Speculation has run a mock on social media and on various wrestling \u201cdirt sheets\u201d that Sasha Banks tried to quit after WrestleMania and is unhappy, but nothing is confirmed. Bayley getting squashed like that is interesting though and you wonder if she\u2019s on her way to Smackdown. If that happens and they spilt her and Sasha, that\u2019s a huge change from them being the first Women\u2019s Tag Team Champions and expecting them to have a meaningful and long run. Here\u2019s some tweets from Sasha and Bayley last week. Read into it what you may:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"zxx\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kxg8dFxPWI\">pic.twitter.com\/kxg8dFxPWI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Mercedes Mon\u00e9 Varnado (@MercedesVarnado) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MercedesVarnado\/status\/1115431410062508032?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 9, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/itsbayleywwe\/status\/1117171553773297664?s=21<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/itsbayleywwe\/status\/1116475614632923136?s=21<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Curt Hawkins &amp; Zack Ryder retained the Raw Tag Team Championship over the Revival. I\u2019m 50\/50 on them retaining the titles tonight as I sense a team coming from Smackdown or dare I say Undisputed Era and ending their short run. They could also tell the story of them continuing to hold the titles and finding ways to win. I don\u2019t have a strong feeling either way. It depends on how good Vince McMahon\u2019s coffee was this morning.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Bobby Roode &amp; Chad Gable, for all intents and purposes, turned heel last week as they said they will be attempting to get back on top \u201cby any means necessary.\u201d After losing to Aleister Black and Ricochet, they attacked them. Look for them to continue to cement their new character.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Sami Zayn cut a fan hating promo, saying the WWE is toxic because of the fans. The promo was well-discussed in various podcast and articles here at PWTorch.com. My two cents is that it\u2019s old hat, and it\u2019s Sami\u2019s turn to be Vince\u2019s mouthpiece. I tend to believe that Vince talks a lot through his heels, and last week was no exception.<\/p>\n<h3>Start Time &amp; Matches Advertised on the Arena Website<\/h3>\n<p>The Bell Centre\u2019s website advertises a start time of 7:30 p.m. local with doors opening at 6:00 p.m. They advertise no matches nor any specific wrestlers appearing. They show it as a two-night even, as Smackdown will emanate from here tomorrow night.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Follow Frank on Twitter @FrankPeteani or e-mail fpeteani@gmail.com.
