Now that WrestleMania 41 is over, fans can begin looking forward to the 2025 WWE Draft, which traditionally shakes up the rosters of Raw, SmackDown and NXT.
With moves possible between WWE Raw, SmackDown and NXT – there are a lot possible movements that could be made to create new stories.
Here are eight WWE stars from SmackDown and NXT who could be drafted to Raw on Netflix.
8. Jade Cargill
After seemingly getting her retribution on Naomi at WrestleMania 41, it seems as if Naomi isn’t quite done with Jade Cargill.
However if the pair meet again at Backlash 2025 and settle the score it may be time for Jade Cargill to be drafted to Raw.
With a fresh set of women to feud with, it would be fun to see Cargill feud up and down the card on Raw on Netflix.
Being a viable opponent for Lyra Valykria for the Intercontinental Championship, Cargill could also go to war with the likes of Rhea Ripley and Becky Lynch in future programs.

7. Ricky Saints
Ricky Saints has made a major impact since joining the NXT roster – so much so that it seems he is unlikely to remain in the Performance Center very long.
Getting great crowd reactions and already demonstrating that he is capable of holding the attention of the audience, Saints would be a great addition to WWE Raw on Netflix.
Possibly even a recruit to Seth Rollins’ faction, Saints could easily fit in with Rollins’ brazen attire and antics.
Also, joining Raw could set up a future potential program with CM Punk which would have the potential to be legendary given their work together in AEW.

6. Ethan Page
Another former AEW star who made a big impact during their rookie year in WWE is ‘All Ego’ Ethan Page.
After signing with NXT, Page quickly became the NXT Champion and launched into programs with NXT’s biggest stars.
Seemingly now having done all there is to do in NXT, it would not only be great to see Page get drafted to the main roster – but he can’t get too far away from a long rival.
After teasing that their feud wouldn’t be ending on NXT, Page and Ricky Saints absolutely should both be drafted to Raw.

5. Chelsea Green
Another SmackDown star that may be headed to Netflix soon is the incredibly entertaining Chelsea Green.
The women’s division on Raw is a little sparse, so bringing in more talent from both NXT and SmackDown would be a benefit.
After dropping the United States Championship to Zelina Vega on SmackDown, it seems that perhaps Chelsea Green could be drafted to Raw.
Opening up an entirely new set of feuds for Green, the former champ has has teased a ‘Diva Killer’ character. Moving to Raw could potentially allowing her to host her own rotating segment of one-off matches from some of WWE’s favorite Divas from the past.

4. Tony D’Angelo & Adriana Rizzo
The resolution to how Tony D’Angelo will be written off NXT TV remains to be seen – last week being shown encouraging Rizzo to stay in a safe house.
Elsewhere Luca Crusifino and Channing ‘Stacks’ Lorenzo met up in a different mysterious scene in the desert.
When he re-emerges however, it would be possible that it was Rizzo who saved him – hence why they arrive on the main roster as a team.
Tony D’Angelo is a fantastic star alone but it would be great to see at least one member of the D’Angelo family make the main roster jump with him.

3. Trick Williams
Trick Williams made headlines when he made a big appearance at Sunday’s TNA Rebellion and attacked Joe Hendry.
Perhaps Williams has finally lost the plot – or perhaps he is now working for a specific alliance.
If Trick Williams were revealed to be in Seth Rollins’ faction seeking to ‘protect professional wrestling’ – there is a lot of jealousy that could be explored between Trick and Hendry.
With Williams having proven a reliable hand for WWE yet not yet making the big main roster appearances that Joe Hendry has – the pair could both be launched into a huge feud with deep storyline connections.

2. Carmelo Hayes
After winning the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal on the SmackDown before WrestleMania, Carmelo Hayes looks set for a big second year on WWE’s main roster.
While their ‘Melo don’t Miz’ partnership has been mildly amusing, Hayes could definitely turn on The Miz and head straight for Raw on Netflix.
The current SmackDown roster doesn’t seem to hold a lot of challengers left for Carmelo Hayes that he hasn’t already faced in singles action, whereas Raw is an entirely new set of foes.
We will always hold out hope for a Trick Melo Gang reunion, but at least being on the same brand would be a start!

1. Cody Rhodes
After losing the Undisputed WWE Championship to John Cena at WrestleMania 41, Cody Rhodes has not been seen on WWE TV.
While some don’t expect Rhodes to return to WWE until potentially at the Money in the Bank premium live event in June, perhaps he will be drafted to Raw in advance of his return.
It would make complete sense for Cody Rhodes to switch over to Raw for a fresh new set of rivalries and of course – to reignite some old ones, like Seth Rollins.
Admittedly however, it does feel as if WWE won’t leave Cody on a loss to Cena without at least some semblance of payback, so this one remains to be seen.
