WWE Raw results, April 10, 2017: Braun Strowman brutally injures Roman Reigns in monstrous assault

Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose meets his fellow Raw newcomers as the Superstar Shake-up begins.

LONG ISLAND, N.Y. — On day one, minute one of the much-ballyhooed Superstar Shake-up, Monday Night Raw kicked things off by debuting a major acquisition from SmackDown LIVE... AND HIS NAME IS JOHN CE — oh, wait, it’s The Miz.

Reprising his Cena impression from the last few weeks of SmackDown LIVE, The Awesome One came to Raw with Maryse-as-Nikki Bella in tow and delivered some A-list roasting of The Cenation Leader until another Raw signee, Dean Ambrose, came down to talk some trash of his own.

The reigning Intercontinental Champion seemed fooled by Miz’s impression at first, talking to The A-Lister as if he actually was Cena and even offering his congratulations for defeating Miz & Maryse ("Those two are the worst") at WrestleMania. But once Miz removed all his Cena garb and screamed that he was, in fact, The Miz, Ambrose hit him with Dirty Deeds. Like you thought that would end any other way.

Xavier Woods & Big E aim to avenge their injured partner after The Revival put Kofi Kingston on the shelf.

The Revival’s Raw debut last week was a smashing success — literally.

They smashed Kofi Kingston’s ankle to such a degree that The Dreadlocked Dynamo needed surgery. So, down a man and looking for payback, The New Day decided to step to the #TopGuys in a rematch of last week’s loss that once again ended in disappointing fashion for the former W. W. E. World. Tag. Team. Champions.

Much like last week, Dash & Dawson kept Xavier Woods out of Big E’s reach, teeing off with impunity on their opponent. The entrance of E into the match briefly changed the complexion, but it was Woods’ return that allowed The Revival to capitalize for the second time, thwarting the Midnight Hour by shoving E out of the way and catching an airborne Woods with the Shatter Machine.

Curt Hawkins' arrival on Raw doesn't exactly go as planned.

Among the sleeper acquisitions of the Superstar Shake-up is Curt Hawkins, who has been dropping his own brand of #Facts on SmackDown LIVE since his return last year. Now that he’s back on Raw, The Prince of Queens wasted no time in demanding that Raw roll out the welcome wagon — at which point Big Show promptly strolled into the ring and knocked him out. Welcome!

A-Double takes on The Fil-Am Flash in Cruiserweight action.

Say this for Neville: He can kill two birds with one stone.

By insinuating that TJ Perkins had fallen from grace since winning the Cruiserweight Classic, The King of the Cruiserweights managed to get inside the head of The Phil-Am Flash and knock Austin Aries down a peg when Perkins reacted… unfavorably, following his win over the No. 1 contender to the WWE Cruiserweight Championship.

With Neville watching from the announce desk, Perkins deployed his full arsenal of style and skill, as if to demonstrate he was still a threat in the Cruiserweight division. He looked pretty good, too, though he needed a bit of an assist from Neville to surprise Aries with a small package to seal the deal.

But when Aries went right back to jaw-jacking with Neville, Perkins took advantage of the distraction by jumping A-Double from behind, blasting him with a detonation kick before realizing, apparently, that the King had used him as a pawn.

The Raw General Manager announces whether The Kingslayer will remain on Team Red in the Superstar Shake-up.

The short version is that Seth Rollins is staying on Raw, but he might regret it in the long term. After a week of wringing his hands over whether or not The Kingslayer would remain on Team Red, the former WWE Champion essentially proclaimed that he had no intention of running to SmackDown LIVE, and if still-absent Commissioner Stephanie McMahon wanted him gone as revenge for his WrestleMania win over Triple H, she’d need an army to do it.

Instead, new General Manager Kurt Angle greeted The Architect and proclaimed that, despite Stephanie having made it clear she wanted Rollins off Monday Night Raw, The Olympic Hero had decided to retain Rollins to reward his efforts at The Show of Shows.

The implication of that decision was soon apparent, however, as Samoa Joe appeared in the ring and attacked. While Rollins managed to fend off The Destroyer this time, it was clear that as long as The Architect stays on Raw, the target will remain on his back as well.

The Queen takes on the imposing Nia Jax, live on Raw.

For someone who calls herself The Queen, Charlotte Flair’s had a rough couple of weeks.

She lost at WrestleMania, Nia Jax beat her up at the end of last week’s Six-Woman Tag Team Match when she tried to blame Jax for the loss, and now she’s lost one-on-one to Jax herself.

To be fair (to Flair), the match was more of a fight than Jax expected, but Jax would unleash her power maneuvers and stop Charlotte cold any time The Queen would start to string moves together. Charlotte found daylight for a moment with a chop block and Natural Selection, but Jax kicked out, toughed her way through a moonsault and thwarted the Figure-Four Leglock by shoving Charlotte into the turnbuckles, splashing her in the corner and administering the Samoan Drop for the victory.

The Underdog from the Underground clashes with The A-Lister as Maryse looks on from ringside.

‘Twas a decidedly un-awesome return to Raw for The Miz, who got shown up by Dean Ambrose in the opening of the show and couldn’t close out a tough match against Sami Zayn, who was both fighting to prove his worth to Raw and, perhaps, increase his stock in the eyes of the SmackDown showrunners who might be looking to poach him.

If Team Blue does decide to pull the trigger and get him, they’ll have a hell of a Superstar on their hands. After being manhandled by Miz, Zayn reversed The A-Lister’s Daniel Bryan kicks into the Blue Thunder Bomb. Maryse tried to pull Miz out of harm’s way and allow him to reclaim his momentum, but the moment Miz attempted the Skull-Crushing Finale, Sami rolled him up for three. So Miz has egg on his face, but if Sami is headed to SmackDown LIVE, he goes out a hero.

Before clashing for the Raw Tag Team Titles at WWE Payback, The Hardy Boyz team with Cesaro & Sheamus to take on Team Red's so-called "good brothers" and The Shining Stars in an 8-Man Tag Team Match.

What’s the only thing more enticing than The Hardy Boyz vs. Cesaro & Sheamus for the Raw Tag Team Titles? (Apart from Elias “The Drifter” Samson wandering through Raw, of course.) The answer is The Hardy Boyz teaming with their No. 1 contenders in an 8-Man Tag Team contest against former champs Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson, as well as The Shining Stars.

Ironically, both champions and challengers were in perfect sync, with Cesaro & Sheamus helping bounce Karl Anderson from the ring and tee him up for Jeff Hardy’s Poetry in Motion over the ropes. After Matt administered a Twist of Fate to Epico, Jeff sealed things up with a Swanton Bomb. Good teamwork all around. Let’s see what happens when they go against each other.
