Speaking of big stars moving from SmackDown to RAW in the WWE Draft, Edge's transfer to the Red brand is a much-needed infusion of star power. The Rated-R Superstar has graced the Friday nights with his incredible storytelling ability, as seen in his feuds with Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins.

Edge is continuing his feud with Rollins. The two are expected to meet in a stipulation match at Crown Jewel, before the WWE Hall of Famer journeys over to RAW.

Edge has a host of exciting opponents he can face on RAW that would improve the show's quality, from AJ Styles to Keith 'Bearcat' Lee. Things are looking great for the Monday night show.


#1 Drew McIntyre to SmackDown (No.5 in the WWE Draft 2021)

One of the most important pieces of business so far during the WWE Draft 2021 has seen Drew McIntyre move to SmackDown. He desperately needed this move, having gotten pretty stale on RAW. With that being said, The Scottish Warrior was incredible on the Red brand.

He was the top star during the most difficult period in WWE's history but remained in the main event scene for too long. McIntyre needed a change in setting, which he will receive following Crown Jewel. This is just what the doctor ordered for the two-time WWE Champion

He could get completely rejuvenated in time for a program opposite Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship. Could Drew McIntyre be the one who dethrones The Tribal Chief?
