Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn
Kevin Owens is currently signed with RAW while his new tag team partner Sami Zayn is a part of SmackDown. However, the duo won their first-ever WWE Tag Team Championship after beating The Usos in WrestleMania 39. As such, in order to keep up with the future storylines, either one of the two will change brands. Moreover, Sami Zayn’s storyline with The Bloodline, and Roman Reigns, has also concluded.
Charlotte Flair
Charlotte Flair recently lost her WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship to Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 39. As such, fans can expect to see Charlotte drafted to RAW where she will face Bianca Belair for the WWE RAW Women’s Championship. Bianca has also often spoken about facing Charlotte. Thus, a move will put an end to her checklist of facing the WWE Horsewomen.
Drew McIntyre
Drew McIntyre is one of the greatest name for WWE bookings and has been a prominent face for SmackDown. He could however, make a change in the upcoming draft bringing in new competitions for him to gear up his in-ring game.
Damage CTRL
Damage CTRL is a faction closely associated with RAW since its existence. However, the trio lost their tag team titles and they will most likely disband. As such, this will likely cause a change to the blue brand.
