WWE’s Monday Night Raw is shaping up to be a must-watch episode as rumors swirl about the potential appearance of SmackDown Star Carmelo Hayes. According to PWInsider.com, Hayes is slated to be at tonight’s event, though it’s unclear if he’ll appear on the broadcast or in a dark match.
This development comes hot on the heels of WWE introducing the concept of a transfer window for Raw, NXT, and SmackDown, allowing superstars to switch brands in a more structured manner. With Raw and SmackDown set to extend to three hours each starting in the new year, speculation about NXT call-ups has been running rampant.
Hayes’ possible debut isn’t the only thing drawing attention to tonight’s show. WWE World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER made waves with his appearance on SmackDown last Friday, and now fans are wondering if his presence will have further implications for the new transfer window system.
Tonight’s episode of Raw, the final one before Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14, already boasts a stacked card. Matches include Rhea Ripley vs. Raquel Rodriguez, WWE World Tag Team Champions Judgment Day (Finn Balor and JD McDonagh) in action, and Lyra Valkyria vs. Zelina Vega vs. Ivy Nile in the Women’s Intercontinental Championship Tournament.
WWE has also confirmed appearances by Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre, and Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston will address their shocking actions from last week, adding even more intrigue to the night.
With so much happening, fans are left wondering: will tonight be the night Carmelo Hayes finally makes the leap to the main roster?
