Top SmackDown Stars Heading To WWE Raw TONIGHT

Some of SmackDown's biggest and baddest are coming to Raw as WWE's talent exchange continues.

Roman Reigns heads the list of WWE SmackDown stars scheduled to be in attendance for tonight's episode of Raw, continuing the promotion's recent theme of wrestlers crossing from show to show in spite of the brand split.

PWInsider's Mike Johnson reports that The Usos, Drew McIntyre, and The New Day's Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston are also due to appear at the event, which takes place in Detroit, Michigan.

As things stand, the working plan is for the SmackDown wrestlers to compete in a dark match (presumably The Bloodline vs. New Day and McIntyre). This doesn't entirely rule out the possibility of any of them appearing during the broadcast, however.

Last Friday's episode of SmackDown saw Reigns challenge his cousins, The Usos, to head to Raw and unify WWE's two sets of Tag Team Championships, as Roman did to become Undisputed WWE Utniversal Champion by felling Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38. This suggests The Usos will soon face RK-Bro, who successfully defended the Raw Tag Team Titles against Alpha Academy and the Street Profits at 'Mania.

Reigns, meanwhile, was confronted by Shinsuke Nakamura on SmackDown, seemingly setting them up for a world title match in the future.

Cody Rhodes vs. The Miz was the only match announced for tonight's Raw at the time of writing.
