Note: This article contains the full results of the matches of WWE Monday Night Raw at the Bell Center in Montreal, Quebec, aired April 15, 2019.
WrestleMania 35 is gone, gone, gone and we are already considering the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay, Florida, in a year for WrestleMania 36.
There is a lot of struggle to be done before, and after the week's fall shows, the road started last night with the first part of the Superstar Shake-up.
Read on to discover six things we learned on Raw Monday night with a series of brand and control changes.
1. Champions of the NXT Tag Team War adventurers The Viking Experience are here at Raw Hanson and Rowe Ivar and Erik join NXT's Raw (and so, officially, Aleister Black & Ricochet)
With a number of NXT stars joining Raw and SmackDown as cross-brands between Christmas and WrestleMania 35, it was not clear that we would have more during the transformation.
But last night, we had a shocking addition to Raw's lineup from NXT, as the defending team champions broke into the stage.
And they also have new flamboyant names.
Known as War Raiders Hanson and Rowe, the duo has held the Full Sail belt since NXT TakeOver: Phoenix.
And they still own this gold despite a change in total identity. Raw (and probably NXT, come Wednesday), meet Ivar (formerly Hanson) and Erik (formerly Rowe): The Viking Experience.
The renowned team (in all respects) made an instant impact last night, joining forces with The Revival for a smart win over current Raw champions Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins and the recent player appeal. Aleister Black & Ricochet, officially become a Raw tag. team.
2. Bayley joins Naomi after her separation from Sasha Banks
There have been all sorts of rumors on the screens about Sasha Banks and his apparent misfortune at WWE.
We have not been able to get confirmation or rejection of anything, so we'll put it aside for now.
What is clear is that the first holders of the new Women's Team WWE Team Championship are no longer a team team.
A little over a week after losing the belt to The IIconics, Sasha separated from Bayley and without even the juicy quarrel they had been mocking for two years.
Instead, we have just received Hugster with his brand new partner, the always impressive Naomi.
And it was Glow who got the badge as they faced Billie Kay and Peyton Royce in an untitled game.
With Nia Jax at odds with a serious injury, Bayley and her new partner are likely to be leading the line in an attempt to win the gold medal recently won by the IIconics.
3. AJ Styles is here Monday evening gross
Since the WWE project in 2016, starting a new era of division of the brand for WWE, AJ Styles has been inextricably linked to SmackDown Live.
He's been the blue flag's flagship for almost three years since, but all that changed last night as he joined two-thirds of The Shield on Monday night.
Dean Ambrose (apparently) being gone, gone, gone, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins wereted no time to badign themselves to a seriously heavy firepower as a short-term replacement.
Together, they defeated Drew McIntyre, Baron Corbin and Bobby Lashley. Rollins, Reigns and Styles each hit Lashley with a finish to get the job done.
There are still many plates in rotation, but Styles on Raw will definitely give the man and the show a needed boost.
4. The first challenger of Becky Lynch is Lacey Evans
After months as a superstar at SmackDown and challenger for Raw in both series, Becky Lynch is now a champion with a good reason to appear on Monday and Tuesday nights.
And here, Monday Night Raw, she already has some wrestlers who want at least one of her straps.
Ruby Riott was on the front row, but she may have been stuck behind the queue after Lynch's loss
Advance Natalya, a former champion who is still looking for the next opportunity, BUT OH WAIT WHO IS THAT?
Lacy Evans appeared once again, and once again she did more than walk and make signs this week.
The WWE Lady revealed that she had talked with the McMahon and that she had played the first match against Nattie for the right to face Bex.
Right hand. Moonault permanent switch. And Lacey Evans is the official challenger of Becky Lynch.
5. Usos are here Monday night
If the beginning of the main composition of War Raiders Viking experience (sorry, we're still getting used to this one), left us confused, so it made a lot more sense.
The team division of SmackDown Live Tag has been on fire for a long time, with quality in every corner.
And his point of anchoring has always been the Usos, who are the guys who really tied this division together, even when they did not hold the gold.
On the other hand, on Raw, things go awry, and more crises than departure if the truth is said.
The titles changed hands too quickly with little buzz or fanfare, and no team really managed to establish itself as a highlight of the three-hour show.
Well, all of this is about to change if Jimmy and Jey Uso have moved to Monday night.
And they showed that they were ready for the move with a hard fought victory over Chad Gable and Bobby Roode, ending with a succession of Superkicks and Double Uce brands.
We will need to see how everything will be settled here next week, but it looks like we have finally a team division on our hands here.
6. Andrade, Rey Mysterio, The Miz and Lars Sullivan are on Raw … (as well as a solo by Eric Young and Cedric Alexander, it seems), but we do not know Braun Strowman , Sami Zayn or Alexa Bliss.
The Superstar Shake-up being a two-day affair, it is still not entirely clear where some wrestlers will be.
Andrade made the jump to Team Red and made an instant statement with a win badisted by Zelina Vega against current WWE Intercontinental Champion Finn Bálor (and sign up for a PPV match between these two players, s & # 39; please).
Rey Mysterio also changed his mark, although he did not have such a happy return to Raw after Lars Sullivan interrupted his salvation.
And after Shane McMahon opened the show, The Miz showed that their rivalry was far from over after their brutal encounter with WrestleMania 35, following him and taking a revenge shot with a steel chair.
But the future of many other stars is still uncertain, even though they participated in the show last night.
Braun Strowman, Sami Zayn and Alexa Bliss have all made an appearance. Strowman Chokeslamming confirmed the raw man EC3 and Alexa having a moment of happiness with Sami.
However, none of the trio members have been confirmed for Raw, strongly suggesting a move to SmackDown tomorrow night.
But after their lame debut at SmackDown last year, it seems that SAnitY is no longer, because a solo, Eric Young, seems to have jumped on Raw (but had no time on the screen to impress this show of three hours).
And Cedric Alexander made the jump from 205 Live to Monday Night Raw and hopes to emulate the success of the recent sensation cruiser weight Mustafa Ali.
Oh, and there was that …
