WWE: 4 Superstars that should be drafted to a new brand

WWE will be holding another draft in October after they debut on FOX. The draft should begin on Oct. 11 on SmackDown and continue through Oct.14 on RAW.

The challenge WWE had with their previous draft was the advent of the Wild Card Rule. This rule allows wrestlers from SmackDown Live to wrestle on RAW and vice versa. It negated the impact of the draft since fans were conditioned to understand that if a wrestler wrestled on SmackDown he or she would not wrestle on RAW.

To make this Draft successful, wrestlers drafted to certain brands should stay with those brands.

Here are four wrestlers that could benefit from a change of scenery.

Kevin Owens – From SmackDown to RAW

The biggest challenge with Kevin Owens’ booking has always been WWE’s inconsistent storytelling. There has not been much success for Owens lately after carrying a frustrating storyline with Shane McMahon. In the build to the match he had with Shane McMahon, he was cutting some of the more believable promos in recent memory.

Owens showed what fans have known for years now: that his verbal ability to advance any situation he is in is second to none. Owens suffered a deflating loss to Elias in the first round of the King of the Ring. Owens is now a man without a story on SmackDown Live.

A move to RAW would be a logical way to reinvent one of WWE’s hottest talents. Owens has shown he can flourish in the anti-authority babyface and as the sociopathic heel. With Owens on RAW, he can begin feuds with talent such as Seth Rollins or AJ Styles. Owens has the credibility to advance the careers of wrestlers on the cusp of the main event level like Cedric Alexander or Ricochet.

Owens is on top of a long list of WWE talent that should be a consistent main event draw but are portrayed on television as a middle class talent.

Moving Owens to RAW makes sense for both brands. There is nowhere for him to go to on SmackDown after the last vestiges of a feud with Shane McMahon. RAW could allow to him do what he does best, under the guidance of Paul Heyman.
