Wrong door, brother!

To recap, WWE drafted no fewer than 15 acts to Raw on this week's Superstar Shake-Up episode. They were (take a deep breath): The Miz, Andrade, Zelina Vega, Ricochet, Aleister Black, Rey Mysterio, The Usos, Naomi, The Viking Experience, EC3, Lars Sullivan, Cedric Alexander, Lacey Evans and AJ Styles.

Wait, isn't one missing? That's only 14. Don't worry, we'll get to that. It's not like WWE bothered to really mention it anyway.

That's one of the things you might've missed from Raw's three-hour Shake-Up. Other hidden gems include Stephanie McMahon brilliantly shutting rebellious fans down, The Miz showing remarkable restraint against a hated rival, Michael Cole accidentally swearing on live TV, WWE's production team spoiling what was to come and a Moonsault so stiff it had to make Hardcore Holly from 2000 hurt.

Elsewhere, there's a healthy helping of pretence that promos were shot earlier in the day, some subtle hints that one tag-team's future is still up in the air and a final farewell (maybe) for one superstar that pleased Canada.

Let's get stuck in to all 17 entries...
