The WWE Draft is reportedly set to take place next month, even though the company is yet to officially announce it.

Every WWE Superstar is usually up to be drafted, but more often than not WWE decides to leave their main champions on their original brand.

If Finn Balor was able to defeat Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship then it would leave Reigns open to be drafted.

Roman Reigns being moved over to Monday Night RAW would help fix the ratings issues that the company is currently having.

There is no need for Roman Reigns and Becky Lynch to be on the same brand and since Lynch is married to Seth Rollins, it's more likely that she will stay on FOX.

The USA Network has been upset with recent storyline developments in WWE and this would have been quite the swerve.
