While there hasn’t been an official WWE Draft in 2025, it seems that there could be more roster shake-ups coming soon.
From stars that haven’t been seen on TV who could use a fresh start to others that need a fresh field of competition, there are quite a few WWE Raw stars who could flip over to SmackDown.
Here are six WWE stars that could be removed from Raw and make their way to SmackDown.
6. Creed Brothers
While the Creed Brothers have remained in active competition in house shows as well as on Main Event, they haven’t been seen on WWE TV since July.
Potentially awaiting the return of Chad Gable to reunite American Made, it would make sense to see the Creed Brothers back in action when their leader returns – but potentially having made the flip to SmackDown.
With Gable’s presumed upcoming feud to include going up against El Grande Americano (Ludwig Kaiser) and his two new Americanos – Rayo Americano (Pete Dunne) and Bravo Americano (Tyler Bate) – their showdown could certainly happen on SmackDown.
With a shake-up needed between the WWE tag team divisions on Raw and SmackDown, having American Made and Los Americanos hit Friday nights could be a lot of fun.

5. Natalya
A powerhouse of the WWE women’s division that doesn’t get nearly enough credit for her career’s length and impact, Natalya could be a great move to SmackDown.
A potential new rival for another proud Canadian in Chelsea Green, a switch to SmackDown could be the perfect time for Natalya to bring about a new persona.
While her indie appearance character Nattie Neidhart is a fierce and vicious competitor, there could be a middle ground to be discovered on SmackDown.
With Natalya able to channel a bit of Nattie’s rage and frustration, there isn’t anything to lose but a lot to gain in terms of potential new rivalries and stories.

4. LA Knight
While he may have just come over to Raw from SmackDown, perhaps it would be the right time for Knight to return to the blue brand.
Able to capitalize on a growing gap in challengers for Cody Rhodes, Knight could end up involved in a more revitalized version of SmackDown coming soon.
While his interactions with Solo Sikoa had grown a bit stale by the time he departed, returning to SmackDown to challenge for the United States Championship also brings about an entirely new field.
With the likes of Tommaso Ciampa and Tama Tonga hunting Ilja Dragunov, it could be that LA Knight makes a bigger impact on SmackDown.

3. Finn Balor
While Finn Balor remains a member of the Judgment Day, it could be that the faction’s time is up soon.
With the impending return of Liv Morgan and with Dominik Mysterio having lost his Intercontinental Title to John Cena, Balor could be looking to move on from the group in the near future.
Potentially also bringing along JD McDonagh to a new babyface tag team on Friday nights, the duo could end up having an entirely different attitude on SmackDown.
Able to function more as mischievous babyfaces instead of conniving heels, the pair could end up in singles action and tag team bouts against the likes of DIY, Fraxiom and the Motor City Machine Guns.

2. IYO SKY
While she continues to feud with the Kabuki Warriors right now – as well as grow her friendship with Rhea Ripley – it would be good to see IYO SKY back in title contention.
Perhaps able to look for new opportunities on SmackDown, SKY is already getting a sneak preview of the SmackDown women’s division in the upcoming women’s WarGames match.
SKY could potentially serve as a strong challenger to the likes of WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill, Nia Jax or Lash Legend with her fast moving, hard hitting and high flying in-ring genius.
A potential member of the WWE Raw roster that could make the flip to SmackDown and go on to even greater heights, the sky is the limit for IYO SKY.

1. Bron Breakker
One star that could make the flip over to SmackDown but leave behind the rest of their current stable is Bron Breakker.
With fans already enthusiastic about cheering for the rowdy Breakker, it seems like only a matter of time before he makes the change to becoming a babyface.
Whenever there is a babyface turn for Breakker, there should also be a split to a new brand in order to truly cement his character shift.
Able to take on top challengers on either brand, Breakker seems set to be a fan favorite for years to come.
