Top WWE SmackDown Stars Set For Raw TONIGHT!
Two SmackDown stars are en route to tonight's WWE Raw for a big showdown.
WWE has used social media to engineer a SmackDown crossover for tonight's episode of Raw.
The process began with Raw wrestler AJ Styles going after Sami Zayn following his induction into The Bloodline on last week's episode of SmackDown. Zayn joined Roman Reigns, The Usos, Paul Heyman, and Solo Sikoa in the group, becoming an 'Honorary Uce' in one of the year's most well-received WWE segments, but Styles woke up and chose mockery:-
Man, people will do anything for a T-shirt these days… #pathetic https://t.co/IWXmfeTVAo

Zayn responded via quote-tweet, shilling his new t-shirt while stating that disrespecting the garment meant disrespecting The Bloodline, so he is coming to Raw to "sort this out":-
Roman Reigns GIFTED me the HONORARY UCE T-shirt (now available at @WWEShop & selling like crazy, from what I hear)Disrespect the shirt = disrespect The Bloodline. Might just come to Raw on Monday to sort this out.

AJ then challenged Sami to show up. Now, the match is made, with Sikoa seconding Zayn for a singles clash with Styles.
Styles actually challenged for Reigns' Undisputed WWE Universal Championship over the weekend, losing to the company's kingpin at a Saturday Night's Main Event show in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. He and Zayn have gone one-on-one on WWE television several times in the past, though their last singles bout took place all the way back on a September 2020 episode of SmackDown.
Sikoa, meanwhile, will be making his first Raw appearance since joining the main roster at Clash at the Castle earlier this month.
