If there was ever a year in which the WWE needed a major shakeup, this is that year as Monday Raw has been the worst it has been since late 1996 / Early 1997.

Smackdown has held steady at times but could also use a jolt and some fresh challengers for Roman Reigns as it has been him versus returning legends as of late.

NXT was great, and then they shut down shop and launched NXT 2.0.  I like what I see from it thus far, but it will take some time to get off the ground and for fans to learn the new Superstars.

Now, while I’m not going to go crazy and bore everyone with every single Superstar I see jumping brands, I will give you a few from each brand I see switching, including much needed call ups from the NXT brand as well.  Each will feature a man, woman and tag team headed to a different brand.

 

Leaving NXT to Raw will be Cameron Grimes

Raw badly needs characters that are fun to watch and easy to get behind.  Grimes is perfect in that role and has no current feuds going on in NXT and this would be a perfect fit as RAW runs for three hours and has plenty of time to squeeze him in each week.  Grimes is ready for the big time and this could send him straight to the moon!

Leaving NXT to Raw will be Dakota Kai

We haven’t heard hide or here of her since her split with Raquel Gonzalez.  NXT suddenly has an overload of female talent and spots are running thin.  This jump makes the most sense as RAW badly needs some fresh faces to challenge Charlotte including the returning Asuka as well.

Leaving NXT to Raw will be Imperium

The RAW tag scene is horrendous right now as hodge podge tag team RK-Bro currently holds the straps.  Say what you want about Matt Riddle and his strange popularity, he is not meant to be in a tag team with Orton.  It will grow stale.  Imperium is a great heel team that is ready to branch away from NXT and makes waves on the red brand.  I can honestly see them showing up on the first night and winning the belts from Riddle with Orton nowhere to be found.

Leaving NXT to head to Smackdown will be Kyle O’Reilly

Roman Reigns is desperate for new challengers who are regulars on the brand and extremely popular. The summer featured one re-tread after another with Daniel Bryan, Edge, John Cena and now Brock Lesnar.  Kyle is a fresh face that the fans love and has that Daniel Bryan feel to him.

Leaving NXT to head to Smackdown will be Frankie Monet

Now, this one seems like a long shot when you factor in the large number of heels who already reside on the female Smackdown roster.  However, I see quite a few of them swapping brands anyway.  Such as Zelina Vega to name just one.

Leaving NXT to head to Smackdown will be Grizzled Young Veterans

The Smackdown Tag Division is actually in good hands with The Uso’s, Otis & Gable, The Street Profits and The Dirty Dogs.  I do see the Dogs splitting however, and the Grizzled Young Veterans stepping into that role.

Leaving Raw to head to Smackdown will be The Viking Raiders

Smackdown is down to one babyface tag team in the Street Profits and need a new face team badly.  I don’t see The New Day switching just yet, so it had to be the Raiders.

 

Leaving Raw to head to Smackdown will be AJ Styles

A face turn and eventual run at Roman Reigns title looms for Styles.  High School football is almost over so he won’t mind working Friday nights again.  Styles has always done his best work on the blue brand.

 

Leaving Raw to head to Smackdown will be Alexa Bliss

She may not show up right away, and take a few months off to re-tool her character.  But, the Lilly gimmick is done and she needs a new home completely.

 

Leaving Smackdown to head to Raw will be Zelina Vega

They are heel heavy in Smackdowns women’s division and Vega is the odd woman out.

 

Leaving Smackdown to head to Raw will be Happy Corbin

He may be the most underrated heel in the business.  Corbin is good and can annoy a whole new group of fans and opponents on Raw.

Leaving Smackdown to head to Raw will be The Dirty Dogs

Both Ziggler and Roode are too good to be stuck in a Tag Team.  Let the get over to Raw, and re-start their careers as singles.
