Ahead of WWE Raw’s move to Netflix the company announced a Transfer Window, allowing stars to move between brands more freely.
While moves for the likes of Drew McIntyre, Sami Zayn and Jey Uso have been teased, the only permanent switches we’ve seen thus far have been Logan Paul moving to Raw and Braun Strowman to SmackDown.
With Monday’s premiere marking the start of an exciting new era for the red brand and WWE as a whole, here are eight WWE stars to be transferred to Raw on Netflix:
8. Roman Reigns & Jimmy Uso
Starting off with a big two-for-one transfer, Roman Reigns is one of the biggest names reported to potentially be joining the WWE Raw roster ahead of their move to Netflix.
With Jey Uso and Sami Zayn already on Raw, Reigns and Jimmy Uso moving together would obviously complete the group and give Reigns a fresh start away from SmackDown for the first time in over five years.
A transfer to Raw will be especially needed for Reigns and The OG Bloodline if their rivalry with Solo Sikoa is to come to an end on Monday’s premiere.
A Bloodline on each brand may seem a bit like overkill, but separating Sikoa and Reigns seems like one solid way to let the storyline breathe, as well as allow for many fresh match-ups for Reigns on Monday nights.

7. Andrade
After being dispatched yet again by Shinsuke Nakamura on Friday’s SmackDown, Andrade is seeming in need of a change of some sorts.
While a heel turn would be an easy remedy on Friday nights, WWE could alternatively decide to shift him back to Mondays for Raw on Netflix.
With Bron Breakker in need of fresh challengers for the Intercontinental Championship, Andrade could fit that bill, especially if he joins with a new edge to his character.
Andrade may not be the only one in his family to be making that same move though…

6. Charlotte Flair
After over a year on the shelf, all signs are pointing towards Charlotte Flair returning to WWE imminently, with the Raw on Netflix premiere seeming like an ideal stage.
While Flair is technically not attached to any brand right now, she has become synonymous with SmackDown over the years.
With her husband Andrade on SmackDown and a potentially huge feud with Tiffany Stratton potentially ahead of her, it seems likely she will remain a member of the blue brand.
However, there is also a potentially huge singles match between Flair and Becky Lynch also on the table for WWE at WrestleMania 41. So perhaps The Queen would be better suited heading to the red brand and pursuing that, especially if The Man upstages Flair’s return at the Raw on Netflix premiere.

5. Bayley
Speaking of the Four Horsewomen, Bayley is another star who seems potentially poised for a change of scenery in the Transfer Window.
After such a strong start to her 2024, winning both the 2024 Royal Rumble and WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 40, Bayley’s year sadly went downhill afterwards.
A lacklustre Women’s Championship reign didn’t see the creative investment that her WrestleMania story deserved, and Bayley hasn’t been involved in too much of note ever since dropping it at SummerSlam.
A move to Raw makes not only for fresh opponents, but also potentially a reunion or rivalry with Damage CTRL once again.

4. Austin Theory
After teasing a break-up with A-Town Down Under teammate Grayson Waller for almost the entirety of 2024, it’s about time WWE pull the trigger and move both stars back into singles competition.
While a feud between the two would be likely when the blowoff does eventually come, that will also depend on whether WWE plan to turn Theory babyface or not.
One option on the table is to just split Theory and Waller via the Transfer Window, with the former heading to Raw while Waller remains on SmackDown.
Sure, it would make the entire break-up tease a bit pointless, but at this point it’s difficult to imagine many fans caring when the duo part ways anyway.

3. Wes Lee
After turning heel in August, Wes Lee has unfortunately failed to turn that change of attitude into championship success.
While the lack of NXT Championship on his resume makes for a feeling of unfinished business on Tuesday nights, Lee has done everything else there is to do.
With Oba Femi likely becoming NXT Champion in the coming months, it’s difficult to imagine Lee reaching the top of the brand anytime soon.
While it is difficult to know how he’d fare outside of NXT, WWE should try him out on the Raw roster. As mentioned, Bron Breakker is in need of new challengers for the Intercontinental Championship and Lee would be an ideal fit.

2. Ethan Page
Unlike Wes Lee, Ethan Page has not been in NXT long, with his tenure only beginning back in May.
The problem with All Ego however, is more that he reached the top of NXT so early in his run, that now it seems like a matter of time before he makes the jump to main roster.
While his feud with Je’Von Evans and more menacing character shift could give him some legs on Tuesday nights, he also has some unfinished business with one CM Punk, something he could potentially look to pick up on Raw.
Page would make an entertaining addition to the Raw roster no matter his placement on the card, and even if January 6 comes too soon expect a call-up at some point in the first half of 2025.

1. LA Knight
While some may have predicted his momentum to slow heading into 2025, LA Knight is still among the most popular acts on WWE TV.
Losing the United States Championship allows the fans to get behind him all over again as he looks to reclaim the gold from Shinsuke Nakamura. However, if he fails in that mission the best option would be to change his scenery to keep his character fresh.
With Cody Rhodes Undisputed WWE Champion it’s very difficult to imagine LA Knight reaching the top of the ladder on SmackDown, but on Monday nights it seems more feasible.
There’s also always the possibility of a heel turn later down the line, a role that Knight has proven he could play very well in the past, and one that could potentially push him to the top of Raw.
