WWE Raw is set to make their biggest move yet when the company’s flagship show premieres on Netflix starting on January 6.
Before the move, the company has been hyping up a “transfer window” that will allow stars from all three WWE brands to switch shows.
Monday Night Raw has also added some talent to their roster to provide more star power on the Netflix streaming service.
Ahead of the Netflix premiere, here are seven potential new WWE Raw stars.
7. Gallus
With Drew McIntyre currently on a one man mission to take down every member of the OG Bloodline, there may come a time when he finds himself outnumbered by Roman Reigns and company.
Luckily for Drew there are three of his compatriots just waiting on the call down in NXT in the form of Gallus.
Gallus have recently been teasing exiting WWE NXT, and quite frankly its about time they got a shot at the main roster as they’ve spent six years in the developmental system between NXT UK and NXT.
McIntyre having his own faction would be a breath of fresh air for the Scottish Warrior, and there’s simply no better option than Wolfgang and the Coffey brothers Joe and Mark.

6. Logan Paul
At the WWE Raw on Netflix Kickoff event, GM Adam Pearce announced that Logan Paul had been signed to the red brand.
Paul has been among the WWE’s top stars and is a former United States Champion. The social media star has proven to be a more than capable performer for the promotion.
Paul debuting on Monday Night Raw provides the program with an additional boost of star power and a compelling heel for the babyfaces to feud with.
From rekindling rivalries with Seth Rollins or fresh matchups with CM Punk, there is plenty that Logan Paul brings to the table that will benefit Raw moving forward.

5. A-Town Down Under
A-Town Down Under has been one of WWE’s main heel tag teams in the company today.
Despite winning the WWE Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania XL, Austin Theory and Grayson Waller have had a lot of issues and always seem one mistake away from a breakup.
While their status is always in question, A-Town Down Under may need a fresh environment to flourish after being on SmackDown for the past two years.
Theory and Waller moving to Raw will help to freshen up the tag team division for the brand, as well as potentially set up a faction with fellow former SmackDown star Logan Paul.

4. Legado Del Fantasma
Another SmackDown group who could move shows is Santos Escobar and Legado Del Fantasma.
Starting off 2024 in a feud with the LWO, Legado has been featured less and less on the SmackDown brand.
Santos Escobar showed immense potential when he initially turned heel on Rey Mysterio, but he needs a new landscape to truly evolve and climb the ladder in the company.
Los Garza and Elektra Lopez will also benefit from being on Raw and having a new tag team and women’s division to mix it up with.

3. Bayley
After winning the 2024 Women’s Royal Rumble and the WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania XL, Bayley has been slipping down the card.
Coming off a successful year, the Role Model feels in need of a bit of change after being a mainstay for Friday Night SmackDown over the past two years.
Bayley moving to Raw will help the women’s division at its time in need, especially after introducing the Women’s Intercontinental Championship.
Bayley mixing it up with Liv Morgan, Lyra Valkyria or Rhea Ripley would be massive feuds that Raw could highlight and make the entire division feel bigger in the process.

2. LA Knight
At WWE Survivor Series, Shinsuke Nakamura defeated LA Knight to win the United States Championship.
In the aftermath, Nakamura has cost Knight a six-man tag team match on the December 20 edition of Friday Night SmackDown.
While it is likely Knight will remain on SmackDown to feud with the U.S. Champion, he feels like someone who could be a huge presence in the main event scene on Raw.
Many fans have envisioned Knight as a future WWE Champion, but it seems very likely that he has higher ceiling on Raw and could become a World Heavyweight Champion in 2025.

1. Roman Reigns
On the January 6 Netflix debut of Monday Night Raw, Roman Reigns will face Solo Sikoa in a Tribal Combat Match to determine who is the real Tribal Chief.
This showdown taking place on WWE’s flagship show could perhaps indicate the future for The OTC moving forward in 2025.
Reigns making the jump to Raw seems almost inevitable at this point. When SmackDown was on FOX, Roman’s presence made it clear it was the A-show of WWE.
With WWE Raw’s move to Netflix, Reigns is needed to solidify the show’s status as the number one in the promotion and bring The Bloodline drama to Netflix.
