Roman Reigns’ move to RAW on Netflix to force Triple H to send WWE legend to SmackDown? Analyzing potential direction

Rumors have surfaced that Roman Reigns might move to RAW ahead of the flagship show's debut on Netflix in January 2025. As per Xero News, The OTC will move to the red show while Cody Rhodes will stay on WWE SmackDown. Currently, two of WWE's biggest babyfaces are on the blue show, and splitting them will help Triple H create more storylines around the two superstars.

However, RAW already has huge babyfaces such as Jey Uso, Seth Rollins, and Damian Priest, and adding Roman Reigns to the mix might upset the balance of SmackDown's roster. To battle this obstacle, Triple H can move CM Punk to WWE SmackDown as a replacement for The OTC, ensuring both rosters have a balance of babyfaces and heels.

Apart from providing a sense of balance, The Game might decide to keep CM Punk and Roman Reigns on different brands owing to their real-life heat. The OTC had revealed that he doesn't quite like the Second City Saint since Punk made Reigns' job harder. However, the former Bloodline leader had additionally revealed that if the fans ever wanted to see a storyline involving both of them, he would put the business first.

So, while Reigns is willing to put the business first, the business is currently doing great with the storylines in place. While Netflix might want to have Roman Reigns and CM Punk both on the red show, it could work out in WWE's favor to keep them apart and bring The Voice of the Voiceless to the blue brand the future demands it.

Roman Reigns needs the support of another superstar ahead of Survivor Series

Solo Sikoa and Roman Reigns will go to war at Survivor Series: WarGames, seemingly as part of the men's WarGames match. The Street Champion has Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu, but he needs another superstar to join The Bloodline. WWE is yet to confirm who the fifth member will be. Sikoa approached Seth Rollins with the offer but The Visionary declined.

Coming to The OTC, he has Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, and Sami Zayn. He also needs a fifth superstar to join the OG Bloodline against the new Bloodline. However, it's difficult for Reigns to find support from anyone who wasn't a part of The Bloodline when he was the Undisputed WWE Champion. Under his rule, The Bloodline smashed and injured almost the entire roster, causing them all to have bitter feelings about him.

While he is working as a babyface now, the locker room hasn't forgotten what he did and isn't willing to forgive easily.
