WWE RAW will have a new home beginning in January 2025 as the flagship show heads to Netflix in a game-changing move that will further expand the company's ever-growing footprint in the entertainment industry. Considering the monumental importance of the weekly show's debut on Netflix, Triple H will certainly dig deep into his bag of tricks to ensure a smooth, entertaining, and star-studded beginning.
Hence, the company must add significant star power to the red brand. The demand for bigger stars could lead to several superstars jumping ship from SmackDown to WWE RAW in 2025 to bolster the flagship show during its early days on Netflix.
#8. Roman Reigns could potentially move to WWE RAW soon
Former WWE writer buries Judgment Day HERE
News broke recently that Netflix reportedly wanted Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and CM Punk on RAW. Punk is already exclusive to the red brand, but Rhodes and Reigns are part of the SmackDown roster. Therefore, the request would mean that The OTC would have to switch brands.
Reigns is one of the biggest stars of the modern era. The Tribal Chief's record-setting 1,316-day reign as the Undisputed Universal Champion elevated his stock, produced great storylines, and won favor with the WWE Universe. His recent face turn has seen him garner the loudest crowd reactions.
Therefore, as a certified draw, The OTC would be an invaluable addition to the RAW roster. However, Reigns' move to the red brand would also put his ongoing storyline with The Bloodline in a predicament, but Triple H may have a solution.
#7-4. The New Bloodline (Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa)
The OTC's rumored jump to WWE RAW would instigate major changes to the overall roster if the Bloodline saga is to continue. It appears as if Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, and the Tongans will be switching brands alongside Roman Reigns to prolong their program.
Reigns' narrative with The Bloodline will likely culminate at WrestleMania or even extend beyond The Show of Shows. Furthermore, The Rock could also get involved again. Hence, Sikoa and company jumping ship could be on the cards.
The Bloodline 2.0 would bolster the Tag Team division on RAW, which is currently lacking depth and star power. Moreover, a fresh environment is always good for rising stars like Jacob Fatu.
#3. Jimmy Uso may also join Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns cannot fight The Bloodline 2.0 alone. The OTC attempted to do it alone, but the number's game was too much for Reigns. Fortunately, Jimmy Uso's return at Bad Blood gave him a valuable ally and set the stage for the OG Bloodline's reunion.
As an important side character, Jimmy would have to move with Reigns to WWE RAW to continue the Bloodline saga. Furthermore, "Main Event" Jey Uso also wrestles on the red brand.
Hence, Jimmy Uso's move to Monday nights may also lead to a full-fledged Usos reunion, and the twins can relive their glory days as a tag team.
#2. Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes
Netflix also reportedly sees value in Cody Rhodes, one of the most organic and natural babyfaces in pro wrestling today. His connection with the audience has made him a top draw.
Hence, he would certainly be a great addition to WWE RAW. However, Rhodes is the Undisputed WWE Champion and could hold the top prize through WrestleMania 41. Hence, Netflix's request could see the world champions switch brands if The American Nightmare heads to the red brand.
Rhodes would have fresh challengers on the red brand, and the top prize would return to the flagship show.
#1. Logan Paul
Although Logan Paul is a WWE Superstar, he has a global presence as a YouTuber, athlete, and entrepreneur among other roles. Hence, Paul is one of Triple H's biggest needle-movers.
WWE RAW would need recognizable faces weekly to keep interest high. The Maverick's popularity and fan-following would help bring a dedicated base to the flagship show. Despite being a SmackDown star, he has seldom appeared on the red brand to increase viewership.
Therefore, Triple H could consider moving Paul to RAW to keep more eyes on the product of the red brand.
