WWE: 4 superstars who could benefit from a brand switch
By Maysum Hudda
2. Sasha Banks should move to Raw
Since being drafted to Smackdown back in 2019, it’s been BOSS TIME on Friday nights and in Becky Lynch’s absence, Sasha Banks has ascended to the top of WWE’s women’s division. Her dominance on the blue brand includes winning the Women’s Tag Titles, the Raw Women’s Championship (because why not), and the SmackDown Women’s Championship after a long feud with former best friend Bayley.
That being said, is there anything left for Banks on SmackDown? She returned last week and turned on Bianca Belair, setting up their rematch for SummerSlam, but beyond that, what is there for Banks to do? It’s clear that the fans are behind her now more than ever, so why not give them something refreshing from “The Boss”?
Right now, Banks and Charlotte Flair are in the same place, in the sense that neither need to win a championship, but both deserve to be a part of high-profile storylines. So why not have them face each other and elevate the staggering Raw women’s division? These two women carried the women’s division with their feud back in 2016 and 2017. It only makes sense to go back to it since they are both such high-profile superstars now.
Sasha Banks is a bonafide superstar and has done all there is to do on SmackDown. A brand switch to Raw provides new storylines, new opponents, and a certifiable main event feud with her old nemesis, Flair. On the microphone and in the ring, these two deliver every single time and Banks could really benefit from a big win over an opponent like Flair. Regardless of whoever stands across from her, Banks has proven she can go with just about anybody, so it only makes sense for her to switch brands.
