The WWE Draft begins tonight and a number of big names could switch brands. WWE have already announced a Seth Rollins vs Roman Reigns match to see who the #1 pick in the draft will be. Although neither Rollins or Reigns are expected to switch brands, there are a number of other Superstars who could.

Let's take a look at some RAW and SmackDown stars who could definitely use a change of scenery right now.

#3 Should move to SmackDown - The Revival

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

We start off the list with a tag-team - The Revival. Dash and Dawson may be on RAW but they're the SmackDown Tag-Team Champions, which came about thanks to the Wildcard Rule. Dash and Dawson are one of the best tag-teams on RAW but for whatever reason, they've never really been given a fair run on RAW.

With the boys already holding the SmackDown Tag-Team Championships, moving them over to Friday Nights is a no-brainer. SmackDown also showcases its tag-teams more often than RAW does which will suit Dash and Dawson, as will the sports feel that FOX want to bring to SmackDown.

#3 Should move to RAW - Aleister Black

Aleister Black hasn't done a lot since he was called up to the main roster earlier this year and WWE seemingly just doesn't know what to do with him. It's clear that management does see something in him but just don't know how to slot him in.

Paul Heyman reportedly wants to work with Aleister Back and has requested that the former NXT Champion be brought over to the red brand to wrestle on Monday nights.

This could be a great move for Black. With RAW going 3 hours there will be more time for him to be showcased and there's no one better than Heyman to build up a Superstar and make him look like a badass.

#2 Should move to SmackDown - The Miz

The Miz was on a hot streak until he got drafted to WWE RAW earlier this year. Shane McMahon beating him at WrestleMania days before the Shake-Up also had something to do with it. The Miz hasn't done a whole lot on RAW and a move back to SmackDown as a heel would be best for him.

The Miz would easily slot into the upper midcard on the blue brand and is someone who can help the younger babyfaces on that brand get over if he returns as a heel.

#2 Should move to RAW - The New Day

If The Revival move to SmackDown in the WWE Draft the best option to replace them on RAW would be The New Day - Kofi Kingston included. Xavier Woods and Big E would bring some much-needed star power to the RAW Tag-Team division.

As for Kofi Kingston, it doesn't look like WWE have any rematch plans for him against Brock Lesnar so moving him over to RAW could be for the best. It's unlikely that Kofi will challenge for the Universal Championship any time soon on RAW but he could be a great challenger for AJ Styles' United States title.

#1 Should move to SmackDown - Sasha Banks

After her loss to Becky Lynch at WWE Hell In A Cell, the best move for Sasha Banks would be to move to SmackDown. Sasha can come in as a challenger for Charlotte Flair's SmackDown Women's Championship and this could lead to her winning the title and eventually turning on Bayley.

The Boss has a lot of momentum behind her right now, even after Hell In A Cell, and if WWE don't want her taking the RAW Women's Championship from Becky Lynch, SmackDown is the right move for her.

#1 Should move to RAW - Daniel Bryan

SmackDown will probably be pretty stacked after the WWE Draft. With Seth Rollins probably staying on RAW, he will need a challenger for his title and the best person for the job would be Daniel Bryan. Bryan is a top-class performer and he's been on SmackDown since his return to the ring. A move to the red brand will be a big refresh for him as a character.

More and more fans are starting to turn on Rollins as the babyface champion right now. If Rollins turns heel on Daniel Bryan, it could lead to a very interesting feud between the two.
