It was announced earlier today on WWE’s social media that half of the roster will be eligible tonight on SmackDown, and the other half will be eligible Monday on Raw. While the decisions are being made over the next four days, it was noted that the roster changes won’t “go into effect” until October 22, after Crown Jewel goes down in Saudi Arabia.
