Fans could see a top SmackDown star pop up on next week’s Raw, as WWE ramps up plans to have more crossover appearances between Raw and SmackDown talent. Drew McIntyre’s recent SmackDown segment with Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes is already fueling excitement for what’s next.
The latest tease comes from Bayley, who announced via Twitter that she’ll be at next Monday’s Raw at the SAP Center in San Jose, CA—her hometown. While attending a San Jose Sharks game, Bayley confirmed her appearance in a clip, captioning it, “Bringing @WWE home with me next Monday.” Although it hasn’t been confirmed if she’ll be featured on television, Bayley is likely working a dark match during the show.
The January 15 episode of Raw already has a stacked card, including Dakota Kai defending the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Lyra Valkyria, Sheamus taking on Ludwig Kaiser, Chad Gable facing a “Mystery Luchador,” and a Street Fight between Finn Balor and Damian Priest. With Bayley’s hometown pride on full display, her presence could add even more energy to an already loaded night.
This crossover move comes as WWE looks to blur the lines between Raw and SmackDown talent pools. With stars like Drew McIntyre and Bayley stepping into each other’s domains, fans are left wondering if this is the start of a larger trend.
