It will be interesting to see who RAW General Manager Adam Pearce chooses to bring to the show now that the WWE Transfer Window is open. He has shared his excitement about the transfer window, and we should expect superstars from SmackDown to be backstage on Monday.

Whether the RAW roster will change remains to be seen, but in this article, we examine three potential No.1 picks for the red brand in the WWE Transfer Window.

#3. Charlotte Flair could join the red brand upon her return

Technically, Flair is a free agent, but the expectation is that she will be part of the SmackDown roster once she returns from her knee injury. The Queen is in the final stage of her recovery, and her comeback could happen anytime.

Given her status, she will be a top addition for RAW and the Women's Division and could emerge as Liv Morgan's next challenger for the Women's World Championship since Rhea Ripley is in a mini-feud with Raquel Rodriguez.

Charlotte Flair could be Liv's first opponent when the show moves to Netflix on January 6. Their feud could be extended through the Royal Rumble before WWE books part 3 between the reigning Women's World Champion and Rhea Ripley (most likely at WrestleMania 41).

#2. Cody Rhodes could lose his title and move to the red brand in the Netflix era

The Undisputed WWE Champion will certainly be a top addition to the RAW roster, and there would be plenty of things he could do if he moved to the red brand. However, this is not expected to happen in the coming days, as he will face Kevin Owens in a title match at Saturday Night's Main Event on December 14.

Getting closer to the RAW premiere on Netflix, the American Nightmare could be revealed as a pick for RAW. On that occasion, Gunther must move to SmackDown, which will create new storylines, especially if he has retained the World Heavyweight Championship.

The other scenario is that Cody will lose the title to KO and move to the red brand to pursue CM Punk, who could dethrone Gunther going forward. The Ring General would then move to the blue brand.

#1. Roman Reigns is expected to move to RAW and become the face of the Netflix era

Roman Reigns scored a victory over Solo Sikoa at Survivor Series and evened the odds against The New Bloodline. As The Bloodline civil war is far from over, we can see The OG and The New Bloodline collide on RAW and SmackDown.

At the same time, Netflix has asked for The Original Tribal Chief to be part of the red brand when it moves to the global streaming platform, which makes Roman Reigns one of the frontrunners for the No.1 pick for the red brand in the WWE Transfer Window.

Joining the roster also opens the way for new storylines for the former Universal Champion, who has unfinished business with Seth Rollins and would also cross paths with CM Punk again after the latter joined The OG Bloodline at Survivor Series and helped them defeat The New Bloodline in a WarGames Match.
