6 WWE Superstars That Should Switch Brands After WrestleMania 35

There is no denying that the Raw and Smackdown Live rosters are currently stacked right now, and with the likes of Lacey Evans, EC3, Heavy Machinery, and Lars Sullivan all arriving at the main roster, there is so much potential for some great matches. However, sometimes it can come to the point where some superstars are in need a change of scenery.

On both brands, there are superstars that have been on Raw and Smackdown since the brand extension made its return. They have competed against every superstar or tag team that they have come across in their own brand to the point where there aren't any other people for them to go up against to prevent the risk of being stale.

So here are 6 superstars who are in desperate need changing brands after the WrestleMania season is over.

#6 The Usos - Raw

The twin brothers reinvented themselves on Smackdown Live.

Before the brand extension even occurred, The Usos were briefly aligned with their cousin Roman Reigns. However, when it came to their characters, The Usos were very stale as babyfaces. It was clear that they needed a change, and as soon as they arrived in Smackdown Live, we witnessed that change when they had turned heel.

And ever since then, The Usos found themselves in terms of their characters. They became one of the most entertaining aspects of Smackdown Live, and they became so over with the WWE Universe that they are now babyfaces again. Their segments are always on point, and they are former three-time Smackdown Tag Team Champions which shows they've had a good run on their current brand.

On the other hand, Raw is in desperate need of an established tag team. Smackdown Live has the likes of The New Day, The Bar, Sanity and The Bludgeon Brothers which makes their tag team division stacked. Raw has teams like The Revival and Authors of Pain that are on the rise, but they all need a well-known babyface tag team that they can put on great matches with.

The Usos are the perfect team to go to the other brand. They have done everything that they have needed to do on Smackdown, and it's definitely time for a change. The twin brothers are also the kind of team that can easily take a loss without being affected by it. Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso could be the key to fixing Raw's tag team division, as they could potentially help establish teams like The Revival and AOP.

#5 Finn Balor - Smackdown Live

Maybe a change of environment is needed for Balor?

When Finn Balor was first drafted to Raw, it was a moment that shocked the entire world. Balor then went onto making a huge statement by becoming the first ever Universal Champion, but it was a victory that fell short after he was forced to relinquish the title that he lost due to injury. But as soon as Balor returned from that injury, he has been floundering.

Balor always delivers when it comes to matches. He doesn't seem very comfortable when it comes to segments but when it comes to Balor, he has feuded with just about every single heel superstar on Raw, apart from Brock Lesnar but it seems unlikely that rivalry will ever happen despite wrestling fans, including myself, want it to occur.

It doesn't seem as if Balor is being positioned to capture any title on Raw, so why not draft him to Smackdown? A new environment could be perfect for Balor and his character. There is a different variety of superstars for Balor to have matches and rivalries with. He could be a fantastic option to go up against the likes of Daniel Bryan, Andrade Cien Almas, and Randy Orton.

But not only can he have great rivalries, but all of Balor's friends are on the Smackdown Live roster. You have The Good Brothers in Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson who are also not being used to their best potential, you've also got AJ Styles as there is a possibility of Bullet Club or Balor Club being formed on Smackdown Live. Reuniting Balor with his former partners would be a great way to give him some direction in the WWE, but most importantly, it would help him with improving his character.

#4 Shinsuke Nakamura - Raw

Nakamura's run on Smackdown Live hasn't lived up to the expectations.

Nakamura was another superstar that arrived on Smackdown Live with huge expectations. The entire wrestling world expected him to be the biggest star of the brand, and there was a chance for that to happen during Nakamura's feud with AJ Styles after he had turned heel, but it just wasn't meant to be.

The King of Strong Style is now known as The Artist, and despite being a former US Champion and the 2017 Royal Rumble winner, Nakamura has had a very boring run on Smackdown Live. His promos have been decent but his matches haven't been the best, possibly due to the fact that he has had to tone down his style.

The Artist has had matches with every possible babyface on Smackdown Live, from AJ Styles to Jeff Hardy to Rusev. Putting him on Raw could be the switch that is needed, as the potential for Nakamura is so high. You could have Nakamura rekindle his rivalry with Seth Rollins, as the two men had put on a fantastic match at Survivor Series 2018 in an inter-brand match.

There is also potential in Nakamura to turn babyface again with the aggression of a heel and go up against the likes of Brock Lesnar, Dean Ambrose, and Drew McIntyre. These are all matches that we have never seen before but they sound very exciting, so drafting Nakamura to Raw could be the perfect way to rejuvenate his character.

#3 Seth Rollins - Smackdown Live

There is so much potential in having Rollins move to Smackdown Live.

There is no denying that Rollins has had a very successful run on Monday nights. He has proven to be the epitome of Raw by making the flagship show "Monday Night Rollins" as he has managed to burn it down in every single night that he wrestles. He has held the Raw Tag Team Championship gold as well as the Intercontinental Championship title as well.

And it seems as if Rollins is being pushed to defeat Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 35 for the Universal Championship, which would be definitely a huge moment for The Kingslayer, but imagine the dream matches that he could have on Smackdown Live? There are so many superstars such as AJ Styles, Daniel Bryan and Andrade 'Cien' Almas that Rollins could tear the house down with.

There is also the possibility that Rollins could even take the Universal title away from Lesnar, and take it to Smackdown with him with the WWE Champion going to the other side. With the two world titles in the WWE not being assigned to a specific brand, it could easily happen to create a huge moment.

#2 Becky Lynch - Raw

The Man has accomplished everything on Smackdown Live.

Without a shadow of a doubt, The Irish Lass Kicker is the hottest superstar in not just the Women's division, but the entire WWE itself. She has taken the world by storm as her momentum and status in the WWE has sky-rocketed to the point where John Cena, who is WWE's most established superstar at the moment, even wanted to put her over in a big way.

The Man has been the most entertaining aspect on Smackdown Live, and she is the main reason why many fans in the wrestling world tune in. Everybody wants to see Becky Lynch, and she is currently scheduled to face Asuka in a quest to regain her Smackdown Women's Championship at Royal Rumble.

It's unknown whether she will win or not, but she could easily lose the match only to compete in the Women's Royal Rumble and choose to face the Raw Women's Champion at Wrestlemania. There are rumors that she will be in the main event of Wrestlemania alongside Ronda Rousey and Charlotte in a Triple Threat match, or even just a singles match with Ronda Rousey for the Raw Women's Championship.

There wouldn't be a better way to have Lynch arrive on Raw than by taking the Raw Women's Championship away from Ronda Rousey. With The Man still being on the rise, the best way for her to increase her momentum would be by feuding with the likes of Sasha Banks, Bayley, Ember Moon, Mickie James, and the list goes on. The matches that could take place would be absolutely amazing, especially with Lynch being a tweener character.

Also, there is a chance of Becky Lynch beginning a rivalry with Nia Jax. Despite the fact that Nia Jax isn't the best wrestler in the WWE, she is the perfect heel to go up against Lynch due to the fact that they have a history. Nia was the one who had broken Lynch's nose and ruined her chances of facing Ronda Rousey at Survivor Series 2018. Lynch gained payback at TLC 2018 when she attacked Nia Jax, but there are still clearly so many possibilities for this rivalry.

#1 Ronda Rousey - Smackdown Live

Rousey has achieved so much on Raw in such a short time.

Finally, at #1 on the list, we have the Rowdy one herself, Ronda Rousey. Rousey is currently the Raw Women's Champion, and she has had a fantastic run on the Raw roster so far. She started off in a rivalry against Stephanie McMahon and Triple H alongside Kurt Angle in a feud that put Rousey over in the best possible way.

Despite winning the Raw Women's title quite early in her WWE career, you can't deny the fact that she has yet to disappoint. Every single one of her matches has been great, especially with the WWE putting in the effort to make sure that she is believable as the champion. She has beaten most of the women on the Raw roster, from Nia Jax to Natalya to Alexa Bliss.

In late November 2018, there were exclusive rumors in the wrestling world that stated FOX wanted Ronda Rousey on the Smackdown roster when Smackdown Live moves to the huge network in October 2019. With FOX wanting Smackdown to be more of a sports direction instead of comedy, they feel as if Rousey's credibility and popularity would be the perfect way for viewers to tune in.

There is still obviously plenty of time before October 2019, which suggests that WWE might not even draft Rousey to Smackdown any time soon. But with Smackdown having the likes of Becky Lynch, Charlotte, and Asuka on their roster, what better way for Rousey to improve and increase her star power by going up against the very best?
