She debuted the night after Takeover Brooklyn. Foley designated her as the "hottest free agent". This could have been though after Sasha got hurt at Summerslam the night before.
Also, I was there lol.

There was also a sense of finality to Bayley leaving and she had teamed with Sasha on a main roster PPV before that.
Lately, they make it pretty obvious when someone on NXT is on their way out. I'm not saying Tye and Nak are there till Summerslam or some shit, but people may want to cool their jets thinking they're up tomorrow. Could happen, but it's just as likely they stick around till at least after Mania.
Poor Akira Tozawa
I was confusing that with her other debut where she teamed up with Sasha against Charlotte and Dana and then was never heard from until being signed to Raw.
This is probably the same case with Tye.
Joe vs Lesnar, Owens, Rollins, Cesaro, Rusev, Strowman, Jericho, and Zayn? Sign me up.

I mean I don't think Nak is going to debut tomorrow, it doesn't make sense considering the knee injury angle they played on Saturday.

Nak wins the belt from Cena and then AJ challenges him and it's AJ/Nak in the main event of Wrasslin'mania

Cena/Ambrose more than likely for WM. I also doubt Nakamura's going to Raw. Given the amount of time before WM, I doubt they'd do the "he's selling his leg and debuting in time for WM" thing for him. If anything, I can see Nakamura debuting the night after Raw/SD. Here's the card how I see it.
Reigns/Taker
Joe/Rollins
Lesnar/Goldberg
Strowman/??? (wildcard idk)
Cena/Ambrose
Styles/Shane
Who knows really. A great card though, we'll see how SD is shaping up tomorrow. I just don't see Nakamura having a great debut match at WM simply because people want it to happen.
Reigns/Taker
Joe/Rollins
Lesnar/Goldberg

Cena/Ambrose

The Raw after WM is a dual-brand show, so he could show up there, get the humongous pop and still be a SD guy.
SD needs a midcard more than anything right now, so they'll probably get Tye, who is pretty much the only singles midcarder on NXT ready to move up
Their main event scene is fine for now, I think. Cena, Styles, Orton, and (ugh) Ambrose, with likely Bray, Corbin, and Miz to move up. That'll get them through Mania and hopefully then they can get Nak for another face.
Joe could be the US Champion we need.

Here's the Joe gameplan:
Build to match with Rollins at FastLane
Job
Do a multi-man gimmick at WM
Make Roman look stronk for 2-3 months after Mania
Have fun in the midcard

Word is MITB is a Smackdown only show, so I'd think a Raw MITB for Mania would be a likely possibility.

Thinking that Hunter will give up a Mania spot.... BWAHHHHHHAAAAAHAHA!
Yep for the belt.
Could be both. They might do a Daniel Bryan thing where Joe/Rollins is the first match and then Rollins goes on to face Trips later and still loses. If he loses to Trips he has the excuse of the Joe match.

You're putting too much thought into "they didn't want Cena and Reigns on the same brand"
We ain't getting Cena/Taker, we're getting Cena/Reigns after Reigns retires Taker so Reigns can also retire Cena. That's the money Mania match someday

If it wasn't already obvious Raw gets Asuka too.

Pretty sure Extreme Rules is rumored to be a Smackdown PPV too.WTF they already have Elimination Chamber.. They got all the fun gimmicks

Because extreme rules really has any weight now. That ppv is trash. Extremely shitty

Well they aren't getting Asuka for a while, possibly after Summer Slam? I expect Nia to be a joke by then.
That Billie Kay and Peyton Royce combo gon keep the blue brand on top though, BAY-BAY.

Eww
RAW doesn't deserve shitWTF they already have Elimination Chamber.. They got all the fun gimmicks
Yeah Trips is getting that WM slot. Think about it guys. Joe's here to stack the odds against Rollins. Y'all know what'll happen.
- Joe/Rollins at WM, if Rollins wins he can face Trips later on
- Rollins beats Joe
- Rollins/Trips
- Due to the Joe match and possible interference from Joe and/or bullshit, Rollins loses
- Trips gets the win but Rollins won an earlier match and he's looked at as "strong in defeat" in the eyes of the "WWE"
We know that'll happen. Joe's only here to cause bullshit in the Rollins match so he can have an excuse to when he loses against Triple H.
That's probably the only reason Joe's here. He's here to give Rollins trouble so when he loses it won't be clean.
You know it's true.

Put the IC belt back on Miz and let us eat.
Goddamn it! Dean ruined what could have been Tye taking the IC title off Miz at WM..

There is no way Owens vs Jericho is for the world title, near impossible. Who goes over then, Jericho? Nah. Owens retains? Only if he loses it the night after WM.
Joe will go over with a screwy HHH finish to protect him, but the main enigma is who goes over in the chamber.
I mean, if Joe is the next Rollins, and he put over both Rollins and Owens with interference, why wouldn't he add Joe to the EC and award him the title? It has happened before in January, more than once, with Edge.

Joe may get drafted to SD before he has to job to Reigns tho so there's still hope!
Well Elimination Chamber is a Smackdown only show, so unless they found a way to get rid of Shane and Bryan at the show, it wouldn't make sense.
