WWE has not announced anything in regards to a Draft going on with stars moving between the three brands.
While the 2024 WWE Draft took place in April and May, there haven’t been anything indicating that there will be one happening this year.
With that in mind, there are several stars on the SmackDown brand who could move over to Raw or NXT in the near future.
Looking over at the roster over on Friday nights, here are eight WWE SmackDown stars to potentially switch brands.
8. LA Knight
Over the past few months, LA Knight has been appearing more and more on Monday Night Raw just as much he’s on SmackDown.
Since being called up to the main roster, Knight has been part of the Friday Night SmackDown brand.
While he is one of the top babyfaces on the blue brand, “The Megastar” seems like he is in need of a change of scenery.
Knight moving to SmackDown officially would offer him a brand new landscape to explore and set up fresh rivalries against the likes of CM Punk, GUNTHER and Bron Breakker.

7. Bianca Belair
Ahead of WrestleMania 41, Bianca Belair was appearing regularly over on Monday Night Raw in her feud with IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley.
Despite being absent from the company’s programming since Mania with a broken finger, “The E.S.T. of WWE” is still one of the top stars that could flourish back on Monday Night Raw.
Since Mania, WWE Raw has undergone several changes to their women’s division with the additions of Roxanne Perez and Stephanie Vaquer in particular.
Belair mixing it up with those stars and finishing her ongoing story with current WWE Women’s World Champion Naomi seems like a no-brainer move to make.

6. Carmelo Hayes
In the 2024 WWE Draft, Carmelo Hayes was one of the first round picks for Friday Night SmackDown.
The former NXT Champion was looked at as a can’t miss prospect that held a significant amount of potential.
While he has found some success over the past year, Hayes has quite lived up to the heights he was able to achieve during his time on WWE NXT.
Melo making the move from WWE SmackDown to Monday Night Raw could be a necessary fresh start for him that could put him in position to be in the mix for the Intercontinental Championship.

5. Chelsea Green & The Secret Hervice (Piper Niven & Alba Fyre)
Since WWE Evolution 2025, SmackDown’s Chelsea Green and The Secret Hervice have been regularly appearing on Monday Night Raw.
The inaugural WWE Women’s United States Champion has been one of the most entertaining stars in the company today over the past few years.
Green assembled her own Secret Hervice, consisting of Piper Niven and Alba Fyre that has gotten into some battles with Stephanie Vaquer as of late.
Making an official move to WWE Raw, Green and The Secret Hervice could become prominent parts of the brand’s women’s division moving forward.

4. Nia Jax
In the WWE Draft 2024, Nia Jax moved from Monday Night Raw to WWE SmackDown and has achieved quite a bit.
Over the past year, Jax won the 2024 Queen of the Ring Tournament and captured the WWE Women’s Championship.
Jax has pretty done everything and feuded with everyone she can over on Friday Night SmackDown at this point.
It seems like the right time for Jax to make the move back to Monday Night Raw that has a fresh crop of talent that she can feud with.

3. Motor City Machine Guns
Signing with WWE in 2024, The Motor City Machine Guns debuted over on Friday Night SmackDown and made an immediate impact.
Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley captured the WWE Tag Team Championships in their third match in the company.
While they have become an integral part of the always entertaining SmackDown tag team division, The Motor City Machine Guns could find some new opportunities on WWE Raw.
Sabin and Shelley leaving WWE SmackDown and heading to Monday Night Raw should help to revitalize the tag team scene on the brand almost instantly.
2. Rey Fenix
Debuting in April, Rey Fenix made his debut on WWE SmackDown after six years with All Elite Wrestling.
The former AEW International Champion is highly regarded as one of the best high flyers in the world today and has showcased what separates him from everyone else in the promotion.
When Fenix was signed by WWE, many fans believed he would be paired up with Penta to reunite The Lucha Bros.
Making the move from WWE SmackDown, Fenix reuniting The Lucha Brothers over on Monday Night Raw could allow them to revolutionize tag team wrestling throughout the entire company.
1. Cody Rhodes
No one has been more important and impactful to the current scene over on WWE SmackDown than Cody Rhodes.
Drafted to Friday nights last year, “The American Nightmare” has remained on top despite losing the Undisputed WWE Championship to John Cena at WrestleMania 41.
With Rhodes set to challenge Cena to regain his title at WWE SummerSlam 2025, he could be set to completely change the landscape of both brands by moving from SmackDown to Raw.
Potentially swapping places with the World Heavyweight Champion, Cody could bring the most prestigious prize in the company over to WWE Raw moving forward.
