A few weeks ago the WWE Superstar Shake-Up kicked off, and Roman Reigns made the jump from Raw to SmackDown Live. However, it appears that The Big Dog feels he has some unfinished business on the red brand, as he recently took to Twitter to announce that he would be appearing on the next episode of Monday Night Raw.
I’m back on #SDLive, but I still have some business on #Raw.
I’ll see y’all Monday. #ProtectTheYard— Roman Reigns (@WWERomanReigns) May 4, 2019
However, the official WWE Twitter account later responded to Roman’s tweet by saying that WWE officials decided Reigns can’t appear on Raw due to his obligations as a SmackDown star.
WWE officials have learned of Roman Reigns' desire to appear on Monday Night Raw, but as of now, and due to his obligations as a Smackdown Live Superstar, he will not be appearing on Monday Night Raw. https://t.co/4P0RNPmZB1

PWInsider is reporting that WWE postponed the SmackDown live event in Corbin, KY on Monday, and the decision was made to send several SmackDown stars to Raw on Monday to help with the build for Money In The Bank.
The big drop in ratings for Raw last week reportedly played a factor in WWE’s decision to have SmackDown talents appear on Raw.
