Last Friday, following the draft of Sasha Banks to Smackdown and Becky Lynch to remain on Raw, it was announced that the two were to open the show tonight for the first pick of the night. However, rumors are spreading that this match may not be happening.
As reported by Richard following the Hell In A Cell match against Becky Lynch, Banks has been nursing a tailbone injury and has not been medically cleared to compete as of this writing. While the match is still posted on the WWE website, several broadcast companies have the following listed on their synopsis for tonight’s Raw:

I have Xfinity and Hulu myself and just confirmed that the above information is being displayed as well for me. While we cannot confirm which scenario is correct, I wouldn’t be shocked if this is a swerve on all accounts and Banks comes out to announce that she isn’t cleared to compete and announces Bayley as her replacement. With the badass turn by Bayley the other night, plus being Smackdown Women’s Champion, this would setup a Champion vs Champion match on Raw for the first pick, plus reunite Banks and Bayley as a team.
Tune in tonight with us at 8pm EST to Monday Night Raw and find out what happens, plus, get the results of the rest of the WWE Draft!
