WWE RAW could soon see a former World Champion be traded to Friday Night SmackDown. That World Champion could be none other than Drew McIntyre.

Since Royal Rumble last year, Drew McIntyre and CM Punk have been at each other's throats. Their rivalry ended inside Hell in a Cell at Bad Blood in a career-altering match.

This week on WWE RAW, General Manager, Adam Pearce could trade the Scottish Warrior to Friday Night SmackDown. The reason could be simple to keep them away from each other.

After Bash in Berlin, Punk thought his rivalry with Drew had ended; unfortunately, that didn't happen. At this point, Adam Pearce would not want to take any risks and could ask the former World Champion to go to the blue brand.

Pearce already has a lot of chaos going on WWE RAW. He could make this move to make life a bit easier since Punk and McIntyre have been out of control on Monday nights.

If Drew moves out, Punk could focus on getting a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship. On the other hand, McIntyre could either go after Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship or finish his story by getting revenge on Roman Reigns and The Bloodline.


Former WWE writer praises WWE RAW superstar CM Punk's promo skills

CM Punk is one of the best talkers in WWE history. He has cut some iconic promos throughout his career. Of late, his promos on WWE RAW gave a lot of depth and meaning to his storyline.

On the latest episode of Wrestling with Freddie, former WWE writer Freddie Prinze Jr. praised CM Punk's microphone skills. He claimed that even a bad promo from the WWE RAW superstar is a 9/10.

"He's been mixing his promos. I've said this before, his bad promos are 9's. This was a 10. He talked sh*t to people." Freddie continued, "He finished his promo. He said, 'I don't know when I'm gonna be back.' And as he finished his promo, Seth Rollins walks in. That's why I said the show flowed so well,"

We don't know when the Second City Saint will be on WWE television next. On the RAW after Bad Blood, he announced he was banged up and would be gone for some time.

The Voice of the Voiceless could return to the company somewhere around Survivor Series or at the Royal Rumble. Considering his stature, they will most likely bring him back at one of the big WWE Premium Live Events.
