#2 Baron Corbin can move back to RAW

Another solution to Baron Corbin's dilemma is a fresh environment with new opportunities. The former WWE United States Champion has been competing on SmackDown since October 2019. There, has fought Elias, Roman Reigns, Shinsuke Nakamura, and both Dominik and Rey Mysterio.

At this point, the blue brand doesn't have much to offer him. As a heel, he is unlikely to enter the Universal Championship or Intercontinental title picture. Plus, SmackDown doesn't have many credible babyfaces left for Corbin to match up against. Aside from Big E and Kevin Owens, it doesn't seem like anybody can step up to the former King of the Ring.

But the red brand would offer several fresh feuds for Corbin. WWE RAW possesses a loaded roster with many fan-favorite characters. Corbin can fight men much smaller than him, like Ricochet, Humberto Carrillo and Jeff Hardy. These contrasting styles would make for intriguing programs.

Moreover, Corbin could run into a familiar face in Drew McIntyre. McIntyre and Corbin became close friends in late 2018 when they worked together to dominate Braun Strowman. But the former General Manager of RAW turned his back on McIntyre when he attacked him a few weeks before WrestleMania. These two powerhouses could collide again if Corbin moves to the red brand.

Although nothing is official, the WWE Draft is scheduled to take place later this year. If Baron Corbin does move to RAW, he could regain his status as a massive star on the red brand.
