Bayley has officially been moved to Raw as part of WWE’s recent transfer window initiative aimed at shaking up its rosters.
WWE introduced the “transfer window” concept in late 2024, allowing talent from Raw, SmackDown, and NXT to negotiate moves between brands. While stars such as Drew McIntyre, Roman Reigns, Kevin Owens, and Cody Rhodes have made appearances on other brands, their transfers have yet to be formally announced. A list of potential trades has also been teased by the company.
Bayley is set to wrestle Nia Jax, a fellow former WWE Women’s Champion, on tonight’s episode of Raw. This match follows Bayley’s loss to SmackDown Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton on last week’s episode of SmackDown. Bayley had earned that title shot by winning a fatal four-way match against Jax, Naomi, and Bianca Belair.
Adding intrigue to tonight’s match, it was Jax who originally defeated Bayley for the Women’s Title at SummerSlam after earning her championship opportunity by winning the Queen of the Ring tournament.
Bayley’s move to Raw promises to inject fresh rivalries into the red brand while continuing her ongoing pursuit of championship gold.
