#2. The Miz - To SmackDown

It is only a matter of time before The Miz overtakes Chris Jericho in the number of IC title reigns.

Chris Jericho's affiliation with All Elite Wrestling has forced WWE to redact his name whenever possible. WWE likely wants wrestling fans to forget that Jericho holds the record for the most Intercontinental Title reigns in WWE history, with a massive total of nine. At Clash of Champions, The Miz, already an eight time Intercontinental Champion, competed for his record tying ninth Intercontinental Championship opportunity. Commentators failed to acknowledge Jericho altogether.

It is only a matter of time before WWE pushes The Miz to break the Intercontinental Championship record and the first step would be drafting the 'A-Lister' to SmackDown. The Miz, who has been a workhorse throughout his WWE career, might just break Jericho's record at WrestleMania 36.

#1. Roman Reigns - To RAW

Roman Reigns could go back to RAW to give the Red Brand more star power.

With Brock Lesnar and Becky Lynch potentially heading to SmackDown, one might think that RAW is getting the short end of the stick. However, such thoughts would quickly dissipate, if Roman Reigns is drafted to RAW. Reigns has won over WWE audiences recently, as WWE has changed the way he's been booked. He is no longer the centerpiece of the company and was left off the SummerSlam card altogether.

However, Reigns is still one of the top drawing Superstars in WWE and RAW could use him at the top of the card. A feud between 'The Big Dog' and The Fiend could be absolutely brilliant.

On SmackDown, Daniel Bryan will most likely turn babyface in the coming weeks and can replace Reigns as the top face of the Blue Brand. This move is necessary to instill balance to both brands and such a transition would force WWE to create a new star on SmackDown.
