WWE SmackDown Live: Superstars Who Are Most Likely To Switch Brands

1. Daniel Bryan

When I predicted the list of stars from Raw, the final slide contained a surprising entry. A name that was introduced to the main roster fans only last week was pitted as possibly heading to SmackDown Live. I believe the same could happen in this case as well. Bryan was cleared for in-ring action only weeks before WrestleMania.

If his match last week against AJ Styles was any indication, Bryan looks to be in tremendous shape and hasn’t missed a beat. He looks every bit as good as he ever was. It was heartwarming to see the crowd still respond to him the same was as they did four years ago. Bryan is all set to create more classic matches inside a WWE ring.

His match with Styles was just a preview. Something to let the creative know that they could revisit this feud for the WWE title later down the road. However, with his recent heel turn and subsequent attack on Daniel Bryan and Styles, Nakamura is brimming with momentum. It also seems like he isn’t done with the WWE title at the moment. A triple-threat match between these three men for the title would be gold.

However, for the most part I pit Bryan to be drafted to Raw instead, halting his story with Styles for a later time. We still don’t know how the Shake-up will play out. Will SmackDown Live superstars be present at the arena while Raw airs? Will the roster trades happen live or backstage? If Bryan is moved to the flagship show, expect sparks to fly when he faces the likes of Rollins and Balor. Above all, creative can finally build on a program with the Miz and Bryan.
