While the WWE Draft is scheduled for October, there are a number of superstars who would benefit from a brand switch right now. Here, we’ll look at four superstars who would benefit the most and what they could do in their newfound homes.

1. Big E should move to Raw

In the last draft back in October, the WWE effectively broke up the New Day, moving Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods to Raw while Big E remained on SmackDown. At the time, this seemed to be the start of a major push for Big E as a singles competitor, and it was….until it wasn’t.

Big E capped off 2020 by winning the Intercontinental Championship, but much like Drew McIntyre, it didn’t feel like that big of a deal since it was done in front of no fans. The title reign was not considered great by many and he went on to lose that title at WrestleMania 37. Since then, it has really felt like the WWE put the breaks on pushing Big E on SmackDown. Making a switch to the red brand would be a much-needed move for the new Mr. Money in the Bank.

Reuniting with the New Day on Raw is exactly what Big E needs to get to that next level as a singles competitor. Those three men have always been at their best when they’re together as a unit; just remember how involved Big E and Xavier were during Kingston’s rise and run as WWE Champion.

Now holding the Money in the Bank briefcase, a surprising cash-in in front of the WWE Universe would elevate Big E into superstardom! Having the New Day in his corner while doing so would make that moment even more fulfilling.
