WWE has made a lot of major moves recently. NXT moved from the USA Network to The CW, with the archives being taken down from Peacock. Meanwhile, SmackDown moved from the FOX Network to USA.

In addition to those major moves, RAW has shifted from three hours to two hours, although that will only last for a few months. However, that isn't the most notable change for RAW, as soon the red brand will be leaving the USA Network.

Beginning in January, Monday Night RAW will leave traditional cable and join Netflix. The series streaming on the over-the-top service will be groundbreaking for World Wrestling Entertainment and even for Netflix, as a deal like this hasn't been done previously.

There will likely be some big changes when RAW moves to Netflix, which could include a superstar shakeup of sorts. This article will take a look at six stars from SmackDown who could potentially move over to the red brand when it moves to Netflix in January.

Below are six WWE SmackDown Superstars who could move to RAW on Netflix.


#6. Bayley would be able to reunite with Damage CTRL

Bayley is one of the most decorated female performers in WWE history. She is a multi-time world champion on RAW and SmackDown, plus she held the Women's Tag Team Titles on more than one occasion. Bayley is also a former NXT Women's Champion.

The Role Model has recently been involved in an ongoing storyline with Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton. At Bad Blood, the former WWE Women's Champion tried to reclaim the title she previously held, but ultimately, Bayley failed to do so.

With Bayley seemingly needing to start over, a move to RAW could do her good. Plus, with Damage CTRL now babyfaces, perhaps Bayley could reunite with IYO SKY and Kairi Sane. From there, it could create an interesting dynamic for whenever Asuka and Dakota Kai return.


#5. Montez Ford & #4. Angelo Dawkins & #3. B-Fab, The Street Profits could do with new scenery

The Street Profits are a highly decorated tag team. Since uniting in WWE, the pair have managed to capture the RAW Tag Team Titles, SmackDown Tag Team Championship, NXT Tag Team Titles, and even the EVOLVE Tag Team Titles.

Thanks to their partnership with former WWE Superstar Bobby Lashley, Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins ended up aligning themselves with B-Fab. The three are still together despite The Pride seemingly being a thing of the past.

Come January, all three could potentially move to Monday Night RAW. The Street Profits have routinely failed to win tag team gold on SmackDown and could use a new setting with new teams to clash with. As for B-Fab, she could perhaps get in the ring more often on the red brand.


#2. Roman Reigns could change WWE RAW forever

Roman Reigns is one of the biggest stars in WWE history. He has been a top guy in the company for over a decade, dating back to the formation of The Shield, and went on to have one of the longest world title reigns in company history.

Currently, The OTC is going to war with family. Following a post-WrestleMania break, Roman Reigns lost control of The Bloodline. Now he is attempting to take down Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa. For now, Roman has been unsuccessful.

In what could be huge news if accurate, reports have indicated that Roman Reigns may move from Friday Night SmackDown to Monday Night RAW come the move to Netflix. This would give Monday Night RAW a major star. Meanwhile, SmackDown will still have Cody Rhodes to lead the ship.


#1. AJ Styles could retire on Monday Night RAW

AJ Styles is another all-time great. While he never reached the heights of Roman Reigns in terms of star power, The Phenomenal One is one of the best in-ring competitors in WWE history. AJ is also a former world champion in his own right.

The Phenomenal One recently made his return to WWE Friday Night SmackDown, but things went awry. During a match with Carmelo Hayes, Styles suffered a foot injury and it isn't yet clear when he'll be returning to action.

Supposing Styles will be ready to compete come January, he could potentially move to Monday Night RAW. While a member of the red brand, AJ could have a retirement tour or a retirement match of some kind. Who knows, Styles could try to take down Gunther in a Title vs. Career Match in an effort to prove he still has it.
