With “Crown Jewel” just under two weeks away, WWE brand lines are getting thinner once again. According to a report from PWInsider, several “WWE SmackDown” stars are backstage at “WWE Raw” tonight. Since the names involved are all closely linked to major storylines and title implications, it’s safe to assume that all four will appear in the series.

The most notable name reported by PWInsider is Solo Sikoa, who faced his older brother, “Raw” star and reigning Intercontinental Champion Jey Uso, on Friday’s “SmackDown.” Uso defends his title tonight in a rematch against the man he took it from, Bron Breakker, and there is widespread speculation that Sikoa and/or other members of the New Bloodline could intervene to cost Uso the belt, which is what theoretically pushing him to reconcile with the original Bloodline, Jimmy Uso and Roman Reigns.

Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax are also reportedly backstage; Both recently appeared on “Raw” as part of the build-up to their respective WWE Crown Jewel Championship matches at the title event. Rhodes will take on World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER at the show in Saudi Arabia, while Jax will take on Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan. Bayley’s presence brings with it at least a little more intrigue, as the former WWE Women’s Champion doesn’t currently have a match at Crown Jewel. She was on the losing side of a tag team match on SmackDown last week. Together with Naomi, Bayley prevailed in a competition against Jax and his surprise partner, WWE Women’s Speed ​​Champion Candice LeRae, who stood in for the supposedly ill Tiffany Stratton.
