WWEs transfer window is about to slam shut, and Michael Cole made it official during the January 27 episode of Monday Night Raw.
With Royal Rumble weekend just days away, the window that has allowed superstars to move freely between brands will officially close once the premium live event wraps up on Saturday, February 1.
The confirmation came when Cole addressed Zelina Vegas move to SmackDown, explaining that she was transferred as part of the brand switch period that has shaken up WWEs rosters. Zelina has been sent over to Friday Night SmackDown as part of the transfer window here in WWE, Cole stated. Thatll end Royal Rumble weekend.
Since opening on the December 6, 2024, episode of SmackDown, the transfer window has led to some major shifts in WWE. While some stars have only made guest appearances, others have been permanently reassigned. Among those switching brands:
- To Raw: Logan Paul, Bayley, Grayson Waller, Austin Theory
- To SmackDown: Damian Priest, The Miz, Braun Strowman, Zelina Vega, and The Wyatt Sicks (Uncle Howdy, Dexter Lumis, Erick Rowan, Joe Gacy, and Nikki Cross)
With the WWE transfer window closing at the end of Royal Rumble weekend, the clock is ticking for any last-minute roster shakeups. Stars like Logan Paul, Damian Priest, and Zelina Vega have already found new homes, but could WWE have a few more surprises in store before the deadline? With the Royal Rumble known for shocking moments, fans will be keeping a close eye on any unexpected switches.
