WWE SmackDown could gain and lose a few top names to RAW on Netflix in the coming weeks. This could be the result of the transfer window, which has already seen Braun Strowman move to SmackDown.
WWE will be looking to balance the two rosters, with SmackDown on the USA Network running for three hours in 2025. This change will require Triple H to book many more top feuds and keep the brand's stars on their feet. Meanwhile, the RAW roster could look very different following its Netflix premiere. Many returns and transfers could change its landscape.
With that in mind, take a look at five WWE stars who are no longer needed on the blue brand.

A former WWE writer just went after JBL for his comments HERE
#5. Montez Ford could benefit from some change
The Street Profits member has been working hard to prove himself as a solo star in WWE. Montez Ford has worked with Angelo Dawkins as a tag team for most of his career, and he could become a breakout singles star in 2025.
WWE could use the transfer window to split The Street Profits before having either star turn on the other. They haven’t achieved much on SmackDown for over a year, and Ford could work on becoming a breakout star on RAW on Netflix.
Having Montez Ford move to RAW as a singles star could help him move forward in his career. The Street Profits have been stuck in a rut for some time, and a solo move for the star could be a move in the right direction after leaving SmackDown.
#4. Bianca Belair could move to another brand to irk her former partner
WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Bianca Belair worked with Jade Cargill until the latter was sidelined with an injury. She has found a new partner in Naomi on SmackDown to retain the titles.
Just like her husband, Belair has also served her time on SmackDown, and she could move to RAW on Netflix. She has been advertised for the brand for some time.
Having The EST abandon her injured friend Jade Cargill and move to RAW with Naomi would instantly give Triple H a top storyline for Belair and Cargill once the latter returns. They could meet at WrestleMania 41 or SummerSlam 2025 with The EST as the heel in the contest.
#3. LA Knight has worked well on WWE SmackDown
LA Knight’s mixed SmackDown run saw him win his first main roster title. His most entertaining rivalry came against Logan Paul, earning him the United States Championship.
Knight is currently feuding with Shinsuke Nakamura, who took the title away from him. Their rivalry could end soon as WWE may not want him to take any more losses on SmackDown.
Instead, The Megastar could be utilized on RAW on Netflix. His star power could help elevate ratings, and he could prove to be a good challenger for Bron Breakker’s Intercontinental Title.
LA Knight is one of the SmackDown stars advertised for RAW on Netflix. His time on the blue brand may come to an end soon as the top champion of the brand is also a babyface.
#2. Jimmy Uso could reunite with his brother
Jimmy Uso injured his foot during Survivor Series: WarGames. Many expected him to stay out of competition for some time, but he braved the injury to return to the ring soon after.
After taking a Claymore from Drew McIntyre, the multi-time tag team champion reunited with Jey Uso to reform The Usos at Live Events. They could reunite on-screen to become a top tag team again.
Jey is doing a phenomenal job on RAW as a solo star, and his brother could move to the brand to work with him. Jimmy Uso may not have any direction on SmackDown after the storyline with the OG Bloodline ends.
Therefore, it would be beneficial for Jimmy to switch brands and join his brother on RAW if Triple H doesn’t have plans for his solo run.
#1. WWE RAW could need Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns has ruled SmackDown as a heel for several years. He was a top draft pick, and Paul Heyman has ensured he has remained on the brand for a long time.
After a good run on SmackDown, Roman Reigns is the top star who should move to RAW as a babyface. He could do so after winning or losing the Tribal Combat on RAW’s Netflix premiere.
RAW could present Reigns with some new challengers, including Drew McIntyre, who hasn’t faced him for some time. It would also give him a chance to win the World Heavyweight Championship instead of the Undisputed WWE Title.
Additionally, Netflix could benefit from getting The OTC on the RAW roster. Ratings will likely boost with Roman Reigns on WWE's red brand.
