Monday Night Raw: 8 pm EST
Shane and Stephanie McMahon come out to begin the Superstar Shakeup. The two of them banter a bit and insult the crowd, drawing boos. Before they can continue, however, The Miz runs out and attacks Shane McMahon and they start to brawl around the ring area. Miz ends up driving Shane into retreat with a steel chair and he talks trash as blood trickles down his face from a cut somewhere on his head.

Alexa Bliss comes out for A Moment of Bliss. Her guest tonight is Sami Zayn, who has just returned after a 10-month layoff due to rotator cuff surgery. Zayn gets an enormous reception from his hometown crowd of Montreal. The crowd sings along to his entrance music fervently, and because of the huge response, his music continues to repeat over and over, prolonging the celebration as Zayn dances around and the crowd sings enthusiastically. Then finally, Bliss gets to her interview. Zayn talks about how good it is to be back home. He loves Montreal, great city, he says. Zayn says the only thing he doesn’t like is the people.
