6 WWE Superstars who shouldn't have been drafted to RAW

The 2021 WWE Draft is now in the rear-view mirror and several superstars have been drafted to opposing brands.

These draft moves will not become official until October 22nd, which gives many of these stars enough time to take care of any unfinished business on their current brand.

Several of the moves that were made were probably for the better, but others were quite a shock, with the company splitting up seven different teams and several other close friends.

The following list looks at just six superstars who shouldn't have been drafted over to Monday Night RAW.

#6/5. The Street Profits shouldn't have been drafted to WWE RAW

The Street Profits were originally drafted to Friday Night SmackDown a year ago as part of the 2020 WWE Draft. Like several other names on the list, the duo were drafted back to the red brand this past week after just 12 months as part of the Friday night show.

The New Day was another team that was drafted back to their original brand after only heading to RAW a year ago, which shows how indecisive WWE can be. It was already clear that Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins would be heading to RAW after Bianca Belair's move was announced on Friday night.

WWE does what it can to ensure that married couples are able to work on the same brand, which is the reason why both Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch have made their return to RAW.

The duo could have achieved so much more on SmackDown, the fact that they were only given a year to make an impact was harsh. Ford was recently part of a match against Roman Reigns where he proved that he has a future as a singles star. Just because The Street Profits lost at Extreme Rules doesn't mean that it should mark the end of their story with The Usos.

WWE could have some big plans for The Street Profits on RAW, but it would have been nice for them to have been given a chance on SmackDown first.

#4. Tamina Snuka should not have been split from Natalya and sent to WWE RAW

Seven tag teams and stables split as part of this year's WWE Draft with Tamina Snuka and Natalya just one of the teams on that list.

The former Women's Tag Team Champions only recently dropped their titles to Nikki A.S.H. and Rhea Ripley and were unable to reclaim them on this week's episode of RAW.

Following the show, on an episode of RAWTalk, it was revealed that the two women would be split. Despite being one of the only established tag teams in WWE Women's Division at present and given the experience that the two women had between them, it made sense for them to remain as a team.

Tamina has been a solo competitor for most of her career and has been overlooked or used to make up the numbers. The former champion is likely to fade into the background following her move over to RAW as several other women in the company will become the main focus of the brand.

#3. Tegan Nox shouldn't have been split from Shotzi and sent to WWE RAW

Tegan Nox and Shotzi Blackheart were solo stars on WWE NXT before the duo were promoted to the company's main roster together. Blackheart is a former NXT Tag Team Champion, but with Ember Moon rather than Nox, so it was a surprise that the two stars were put together on WWE's main roster.

The duo were most recently seen on SmackDown a few weeks ago when they appeared and fired a shot at WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Nikki A.S.H and Rhea Ripley.

It was a clear tease that the two women were coming for the Tag Team Champions but then just days later the decision was made to split the team. Who will now step up to challenge Nikki and Rhea when all of the teams in the entire Women's Division have been split as part of the draft?

Shotzi and Nox deserved a chance to fight for the Women's Tag Team Championships before the company decided their fate and opted to split them apart.

#2. Bobby Lashley should have been sent to WWE SmackDown

The stage was set and even Bobby Lashley himself teased that he could be making the move over to SmackDown as part of the WWE Draft.

Lashley hasn't been on the best run on RAW over the past few weeks. The All Mighty has been pinned several times since losing his WWE Championship to Big E.

Lashley also lost his rematch last week on RAW, which came just hours after being pinned at Extreme Rules. This appeared to be the final nail in the coffin of his career on RAW. That obviously wasn't the case, since The Hurt Business has also remained on the red brand alongside The All Mighty.

Lashley could have been the man to step up to Roman Reigns on Smackdown after several stars made their way over to RAW. Reigns is currently without a challenger following Crown Jewel, which would have been perfect for Lashley.

Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashley could have had a fantastic feud over the Universal Championship, a feud that the WWE Universe has now been denied since the decision was made to keep Lashley on RAW.

#1. Liv Morgan should not have been drafted to WWE RAW

Liv Morgan has become a fan favorite on SmackDown over the past few months but was moved over to RAW as part of the WWE Draft. Morgan was drafted on Raw Talk and will now follow Carmella to the red brand where the two women will hopefully continue their recent feud.

That being said, there was a time when Liv Morgan and Charlotte wrestled on an episode of SmackDown, and Morgan then changed her whole look following the match when she was unable to defeat The Queen.

The former NXT star took a lengthy hiatus from WWE and later returned with a fresh look and attitude, but was never able to approach Charlotte and challenge her to another match. Finally, Liv and Charlotte were on the same brand and it was believed that the two women could have picked that story back up before she was drafted over to RAW.

SmackDown also has several up-and-coming stars in the Women's Division at present and Morgan could have joined forces with Aliyah, but instead, she has been sent to a brand where she could be lost in the shuffle.

The likes of Nia Jax, Bianca Belair, Becky Lynch, and Carmella are now all on RAW, not to mention Rhea Ripley, Zelina Vega, and Tegan Nox.
