Based off what happened on Raw, I can see Braun going to Smackdown. I think they want to put the world title on him at some point this year and how many times can he possibly feud with Roman and/or on Raw? A move to Smackdown would be a nice change of scenery.

I also can see Jeff Hardy going to Smackdown. Based off Monday night, he's not going to be a part of the Woken stuff and since that's the case I don't see them keeping him on the same brand with Matt.

I can see Bliss going back to Smackdown and Charlotte going back to Raw.

Usos go to Raw. They've accomplished everything on Smackdown as a tag team.

I Think Corbin goes to Raw as well, and hopefully Orlon.

Sasha to Smackdown I think is a legit move.

I think Miz goes back to the blue brand too.

I could see AJ going to RAW, but dropping the title soon to Nakamura at the GRR, then that way the belt stays on SD

For the most part all champs are staying put. That said, y'all planted a bug here: a Rollins/Mahal trade wouldn't surprise me.

Like the comment above stated, Dean will be wherever Seth is. That's almost a guaranteed feud there.

AJ and Bryan are too similar in some ways, I can't see keeping both on the same brand. Bryan's too big of a deal...he's going to Raw.

Charlotte for Raw; Asuka for certain SD. Immediately after Sasha vs. Banks, one of them announced for SD. Banks is the big pick here, though this could be a chance to rebuild Bayley as a top face for SD ( women's division there needs them)! Y'all remember how behind the scenes of NXT Bay and Mella traveled together and did the bff thang...y'all don't think they would love to cook together in a feud if given the chance?

Balor Club/New Day swap makes sense. I'd send Jeff Hardy to SD. Miz and Bliss could go either way honestly. If Absolution disbands Sonya's getting sent to SD to become a threat. Before cHHHuck goes heel you know there'll be a feud with Mandy at some point. They shouldn't disband Riott Squad yet but if they do, Ruby's going to Raw I think. I'd like to see Ember on SD, but she might be in the AJ/Bryan boat I just mentioned. Plus I feel both Naomi and the Usos staying on SD. All of Titus Worldwide may end up on SD I think.

You guys think wrestlers would rather be on RAW?

Its the more known show = more exposure.

Do they know before the draft? or are they actually getting the info during the draft?

Any and everybody who just dropped a title. And maybe the midcard titles switch too, though I feel like they’ll keep the Shield on the same show for a while longer.

Very clear to me that DB is going to Raw and Braun is going to SD for sure.

Jinder/Roode/Orton 2 out of them 3 are switching

Jeff Hardy probably moving to SD

Miz should & hopefully will move back, him & DB need to be on the same side though

Why do people still think that Vince would allow Bryan and Reigns on the same show? :dwillhuh:

Raw is basically the Roman Reigns show. At least on SD you have a decent chance of being in the main event scene or getting a push.

No way in Hell Bryan is on the same brand as Roman.

Because SD doesn't need AJ, DB, & Nakamura in addition to possibly getting Seth. One of them is moving, DB is the odd man out and the most popular wrestler in the company.

They fed Roman: Cena, AJ, Taker, HHH, and everyone in between. You really think they care about them being on the same brand?

There's no way I would keep both AJ & DB on the same roster from a business standpoint :yeshrug:

From a business standpoint, it makes no sense for Roman and Bryan to be on the same brand. They're still all in on a 19586th coronation for Roman. Putting Bryan on Raw would derail all of that.

People still blame Bryan for Roman not getting over, and I have no doubt WWE feels the same internally.

How much of a different reaction can he get than what he's been getting with Bryan out the past two years?

Vince doesn't give a fukk what the people want

You don't think the crowd is gonna rebel if Bryan gets pushed to the back of the line behind Roman, Brock, Braun, and Lashley? On Smackdown he at least has a realistic chance of being a top guy.

You can say Vince doesn't give a fukk but it's not like Bryan hasn't derailed their plans before. :francis:
