WWE Transfer Window to Close Royal Rumble Weekend – WWE confirmed during the January 27 episode of RAW that the ongoing transfer window, which has allowed superstars to switch brands, will officially close this weekend during Royal Rumble festivities. The announcement, delivered by Michael Cole, came as part of Zelina Vega’s move to SmackDown. This gives WWE superstars only a few more days to finalize any brand changes before the window closes.
The transfer window began on the December 6, 2024, episode of SmackDown, creating opportunities for superstars to visit or permanently transition to other brands. Over the last several weeks, notable roster moves have shaken up WWE’s landscape. Logan Paul, Bayley, Grayson Waller, and Austin Theory officially joined RAW, while Damian Priest, The Miz, Braun Strowman, Zelina Vega, and the Wyatt Six (Uncle Howdy, Dexter Lumis, Erick Rowan, Joe Gacy, and Nikki Cross) became part of SmackDown.
This open-window period has not only enabled unexpected appearances but has also added intrigue to WWE programming. With just one more episode of SmackDown left before the Royal Rumble, fans are left speculating whether any additional surprises are in store.
As the transfer window closes, it will bring an end to the frequent brand swaps, setting the stage for a more settled roster leading into WrestleMania season. However, WWE’s penchant for shocking moments means anything could still happen in these final days.
