This would be an absolute shocker. Or would it? Roman Reigns is WWE's biggest full-time male star and the company will want the most eyes on him. Raw is the current flagship program, but only until SmackDown gets going on Fox. The Blue brand will be shown on Fox starting in October after a huge deal was struck for the next five years. WWE will want to put most of their big stars on Smackdown in light of this move and the Big Dog could be one of them. He certainly has done it all on Raw and could use a change in setting.

Reigns is going to remain a permanent main event player in WWE and will be around the world title scene for his entire career. He could go after Seth Rollins and the Universal title, but a shake-up in the main event scene would provide fresher matches for him. The Big Dog could have matches with AJ Styles, depending on if he moves or not, people he hasn't faced like Andrade and Ali and even guys he faced a long time ago, like Daniel Bryan. This keeps Roman's options open, as he could challenge for a title he hasn't even looked at since he moved to Raw at the start of the second brand split.

In terms of major moves, none of them would shake things up quite like Roman Reigns moving to Smackdown.
