Report: Top SmackDown Stars In New York City Ahead Of WWE Raw

Some of the top stars from Friday Night SmackDown could be set to appear on tonight's edition of Monday Night Raw from Madison Square Garden.

Mike Johnson of PWInsider has reported that Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes is in New York City ahead of tonight's Raw. Rhodes is assigned to SmackDown but he has often appeared on both shows since the beginning of 2025, including as recently as the go-home edition of Raw before Elimination Chamber.

Rhodes made his first appearance since John Cena's heel turn on the March 7 edition of SmackDown, addressing Cena's actions. The two talents will face off in one of the headline matches at WrestleMania 41.

Bianca Belair is also in New York City, according to PWInsider. Belair looks set to be a Raw regular during the build to WrestleMania as she will challenge for the Women's World Championship at WWE's biggest show of the year. Belair's most recent appearance on Raw took place last week when her interference helped IYO SKY defeat Rhea Ripley for the Women's World Title.

Tickets are still available for tonight's edition of Monday Night Raw at Madison Square Garden. Matches announced for Raw include CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins in a Steel Cage Match, The New Day vs. Rey Mysterio & Dragon Lee, and Jey Uso vs. Grayson Waller. AJ Styles will also call out Logan Paul.
