4) Chris Jericho to Smackdown Live

While one of his many catchphrases might be “Welcome to RAW is Jericho”, Smackdown Live would be extremely lucky to gain the multiple world champion. We saw last week the end of the friendship between Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho.

The two now seem poised to battle one another at WrestleMania 33 with Jericho looking for revenge after being betrayed by his former best friend. The two could battle one more time at the following pay per view concluding the feud.

With this in mind, it would seem logical that WWE would want to split these two away from one another, and the Draft Lottery could do this. Smackdown Live could select Jericho in the draft removing him from Owens and permanently removing the duo from each other.

Kevin Owens could continue his run on RAW, while Jericho could begin the next chapter of his career on Tuesday Nights. Though spending a bulk of his career on the Red Brand during the last Brand Extension, Jericho did spend a year on Smackdown from 2009-2010.

Jericho was selected to Smackdown in the 2009 Draft Lottery and had a very strong run on the Blue Brand. During his time Y2J won the Intercontinental, Tag Team and World Heavyweight Championships.

Jericho also won the Smackdown Main Event at WrestleMania 26 when he defeated Edge. The Best in the World at what he does would instantly becoming a top talent on Smackdown Live and would be a great superstar to have.

Jericho could work as a heel or face and could revisit some past rivalries with the likes of John Cena and Randy Orton. Jericho could also help establish the younger stars such as Apollo Crews and Baron Corbin.

Any way you look at it Jericho going to Smackdown Live would be a great move and fit for Tuesday Nights.
