WWE stands tall as the leading powerhouse in professional wrestling, riding high on multi-billion dollar deals that not only bring profits but also foster thriving business on all fronts. With its three distinct brands commanding prime-time television, the promotion boasts a rich pool of talent spread across each platform.
While RAW and SmackDown reign supreme, each showcasing a plethora of performers in both singles and tag team divisions, the post-WrestleMania period beckons changes and potential shifts in roster dynamics.
Recently, we dissected SmackDown’s roster, identifying stars in need of a change after WrestleMania. However, the spotlight now turns to RAW, where despite the extended air time, strategic moves to SmackDown could rejuvenate careers and storylines.
Let’s go into five Monday Night RAW stars who could benefit from a move to SmackDown following WrestleMania 40.
#5. Dominik Mysterio: A Game-Changing Shift
Dominik Mysterio, amidst polarizing reactions, has showcased his mettle in WWE, clinching titles and stirring controversy. His recent appearance on SmackDown hinted at potential upheavals.
With speculation rife about a face turn for “The Judgment Day,” a move to SmackDown alongside Legado del Fantasma could offer him a fresh start and alter the brand.
#4. Xavier Woods & #3. Kofi Kingston: Reviving Tag Team Feuds
As stalwarts of tag team wrestling, The New Day’s Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston have conquered RAW’s tag team division. A move to SmackDown would open doors to new rivalries, injecting fresh energy into their storied careers.
Facing off against uncharted adversaries like The LWO or Pretty Deadly could reignite their competitive spirit.
#2. Tegan Nox: Joining Forces with Damage CTRL
Tegan Nox, despite her prowess, has yet to clinch gold in WWE. A potential move to SmackDown could see her align with Dakota Kai in Damage CTRL, bolstering the faction’s ranks and providing a pathway to championship glory.
The duo’s history as fan favorites could add depth to their character arcs on the blue brand.
#1. Dexter Lumis: A Return to Relevance
Dexter Lumis, an enigmatic figure adored by fans, has been conspicuously absent from WWE programming.
A relocation to SmackDown could offer him a fresh narrative arc, potentially aligning him with The Final Testament and tapping into his dark persona to craft compelling storylines.
