More Raw talents heading to SmackDown this week
Oct 5, 2023
Friday's edition of WWE SmackDown will have an injection of Raw talents this week when the blue brand visits St. Louis, Missouri.
Cody Rhodes has already revealed that he and Jey Uso will be appearing on this week's SmackDown. Their appearances will be for the final build to WWE Fastlane, which is set to air on Saturday, October 7 from Indianapolis, Indiana. Rhodes and Uso are booked to challenge Judgment Day's Finn Balor and Damian Priest for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships at the pay-per-view.
Alongside two of Raw's top stars, Alpha Academy are scheduled to be at the October 6 taping of SmackDown according to PWInsider, although it is unknown if they will appear during the live broadcast. It is common for WWE to bring in Raw talents for dark matches on SmackDown or vice versa.
Alpha Academy have been locked in a feud with Imperium in recent weeks as Chad Gable looked to defeat Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship. Gable ultimately failed and he and Otis were defeated by Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci on the October 2 edition of Monday Night Raw.
