The RAW brand has been considered the flagship brand for years now. However, in recent years SmackDown Live has proven its value.
Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.
Nevertheless, both shows could improve. Who deserves their position? Who deserves better from WWE? Either way, WWE could improve their performer's direction and opportunities
On SmackDown there are names such as; AJ Styles, Randy Orton and New Day. Whereas, on RAW, there are names such as; Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler, and Elias, (watch the video below).

These are names which receive direction and prominence within their respective brands. However, other talented names have missed opportunities.

Therefore, it would serve to look at those who could move brands. Specifically for positive improvements.
#4 The Revival (SmackDown Live)
The Revival (Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson) are an excellent team. They debuted for NXT in 2014 and became two-time NXT Tag Team champions.
A record yet to be broken. However, since their debut on RAW, they have been underutilised, (watch the video below). By now they should have been RAW Tag Team champions.
The RAW Tag Team division is stacked, yet misused. In recent months, the matches have been repetitive.
However, recently Authors of Pain were defeated by Chad Gable and Bobby Roode. Therefore, this feud is expected to continue. Ultimately certain teams will lack direction. The Revival thus needs to move to SmackDown Live.
The history Revival had within NXT, would be more lucrative on the blue brand. Moreover, the match options could be fantastic.
For example, imagine The Revival versus The Bar. Or even, versus New Day. Ultimately they would be more successful outside of Raw. What could we expect?
#3 The Usos (RAW)
Joshua Fatu and Jonathan Fatu are members of the famous Anoa'i family. Other members include; Rikishi, Yokozuna, The Rock, Roman Reigns, and more.
Therefore, their future is bright within professional wrestling. Arguably their efforts until present would build their own legacy, (watch the video below).
In 2010 The Usos joined the main roster participating on RAW and SmackDown. Since then The Usos have participated in excellent matches.
Notably including; The Hart Dynasty, The Bar, and New Day, to name a few. Nevertheless, having been a mainstay on SmackDown now is the time to move to Raw.
The RAW tag team division has lacked depth recently, with matches being lackluster and repetitive.
Therefore, including The Usos in the division would be an excellent option for WWE. Firstly, it improves storytelling options. Secondly, it provides diverse match options. Just imagine Usos versus Authors of Pain.
#2 Finn Balor (SmackDown Live)
Finn Balor perhaps catalyzed gaijin (non-japanese) professional wrestling within Japan, leading to the rise of Kenny Omega and Marty Scurll.
The former Bullet Club leader left an established legacy in Japan. However, in 2014 Balor debuted for WWE participating on the NXT brand.
During the PPV Beast in the East Balor defeated Kevin Owens to become NXT Champion, (watch the video below). He would reign until NXT Takeover: The End, losing to Samoa Joe.
Since SummerSlam 2016 Finn Balor has maintained a solid fanbase. However, his direction has been poor. In past months Balor has been relegated to mid-card matches.
Notably against Baron Corbin. This direction wastes Balor's talent and character potential. Moreover, it had negatively affected entertainment value.
On SmackDown smaller wrestlers like; AJ Styles, Daniel Bryan, and Rey Mysterio have proven their worth as top performers.
However, this is not the case with Raw. Therefore, Balor should move to SmackDown. Just imagine the possibilities.
Fans could witness matches like; AJ Styles versus Finn Balor. To former Bullet Club leaders going head to head.
#1 Rusev (RAW)
Since 2010 Rusev has plied his trade in professional wrestling. However not till 2014 did Rusev prove his value.
Debuting in 2014 for the NXT brand, Rusev made an initial impact. Although he failed to obtain a championship in NXT, he was undefeated between 2014-2015.
Since leaving NXT Rusev has been exponentially successful. He became the first Bulgarian born champion in WWE when he won his first United States championship.
In subsequent years another reign improved Rusev's value. However, in 2017, Rusev's popularity soared, with the introduction of Rusev Day, partly due to Aiden English. Rusev and Aiden English split in 2018.
In recent months Rusev has been rarely seen on television. Albeit against Shinsuke Nakamura on SmackDown in the last week, (watch the video below). Nevertheless, his popularity has continued.
It's clear Rusev has a fanbase. Therefore, he should move to Raw. Just imagine how popular Rusev could become.
Moreover, imagine matches such as; Rusev against Braun Strowman. Or, perhaps, Rusev against Drew McIntyre.
