Backstage News On Top WWE Raw Star Possibly Moving To SmackDown - WrestlingInc.com

On the heels of potentially another WWE draft coming in the summer, there will be information released on which stars are expected to defect to the opposite brand. As of now, one major name has been discussed.

According to PWInsider Elite, the top name discussed for a roster switch right now is Roman Reigns. In fact, there have been discussions to solidify this move, and make him the top pick to defect.

Not only would this get Reigns out of the repetitive cycle of competing against Kevin Owens, but it would also provide an opportunity to compete against strong heels such as The Miz and Baron Corbin.

As previously reported, early plans call for the WrestleMania 34 main event to be WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar against Roman Reigns. If Reigns moves to SmackDown Live, this would be difficult to schedule unless Reigns wins the Royal Rumble again.

Other names have been rumored, but as of now, Reigns is the only person who WWE is having serious talks about switching over to SmackDown Live from Raw. This decision is focused around Reigns being the next John Cena, along with the lack of strong babyfaces on the SmackDown Live brand.

Make Roman Look Stronk Again?

But on the real though... this feels like Vince knows the positive pub SDL gets and is shipping Reigns there for character/development recovery/hoping to get those smark points so that the backlash when he gets his 3rd r 4th Coronation Attempt will be muted.

I see what you did with the title

Stil #Reignsgang but Vince is like a stubborn ass kid.

He's not gonna work as face on SD either

Facts, but that only works if Vince & Co are still hands off with SD and let Ward cook. If the fans know/feel like since Reigns is on SD, Vince is all up in the mix it’ll fail…again.


Give Roman to Ward and let him have the freedom to write him an eight month character arc and see what he comes up with.

Part of the reason SD has been great is because Roman ISN'T on it...

Part of the reason Raw has been garbage is because Roman IS on it

The reasons for SD being consistently good had nothing to do with the wrestlers on the show and everything to do with good writing and booking. The only time anyone should get worried is if Road Dogg and/or Ryan Ward get moved.
