Dean Ambrose, The Miz & Maryse added to WWE Raw roster
Following the addition of Apollo Crews earlier in the day, four more wrestlers have already joined the Raw roster as part of WWE’s “Superstar Shakeup.”
The Miz, Maryse, and Dean Ambrose were added to Raw in the opening segment of tonight’s episode. No corresponding moves have been announced yet, but one of Raw’s champions joining SmackDown naturally seems like a possibility given that Ambrose currently holds the Intercontinental title.
Kevin Owens later cut a promo claiming to be Raw’s top champion as the United States title holder even with Ambrose joining the brand.
Miz and Maryse continued to impersonate John Cena and Nikki Bella even after switching shows. Ambrose came out and went along with it until eventually laying out Miz with Dirty Deeds.
Raw got another new roster member soon after that, with Curt Hawkins also making his way over from SmackDown. Big Show came to the ring and leveled Hawkins with a knockout punch before leaving.
The “Superstar Shakeup” is a two-night event that will continue on tomorrow’s SmackDown as well.
