WWE Stars To Be Drafted To Raw

WWE has not provided any updates in regards to their yearly draft, with it looking increasingly unlikely that one will happen in 2025.

However, WWE has proven that brand switches can take place outwith an official draft, as proven by Sami Zayn’s recent switch to SmackDown and LA Knight moving the other way to Raw.

Looking at the SmackDown and NXT rosters, there are many talents that could really make a difference on the red brand upon jumping ship

Here are eight potential WWE stars to be drafted to Raw.

8. Rey Fenix

In April, Rey Fenix made his WWE debut where he became a member of the Friday Night SmackDown roster.

Despite debuting as a singles star, Fenix was featured in a tag team with Andrade prior to his recent departure from the company.

If he is going to be paired up with someone, it makes more sense for Fenix to team with his brother Penta over on Monday Night Raw.

Joining Raw, Fenix and Penta as the Lucha Bros could be showcased as the centerpiece tag team on the brand moving forward.

7. Chelsea Green & Secret Hervice (Piper Niven & Alba Fyre)

Chelsea Green and the Secret Hervice have been an act that has been featured on every main brand of WWE.

Proving to be one of WWE’s most entertaining characters, Green has always maximized her minutes and made the most of every opportunity she has received.

Green and Secret Hervice making the move to Monday Night Raw feels only right due to the group pretty much doing everything they can on SmackDown.

Adding further depth for the Raw women’s division, Green, Piper Niven and Alba Fyre might actually meet their full potential as a unit making this move.

6. Shinsuke Nakamura

Shinsuke Nakamura has once again returned to the spotlight after appearing briefly in a backstage segment.

The former WWE Intercontinental Champion has not competed on the company’s programming since June.

After being seen walking in the background of a backstage segment on the September 12 episode of SmackDown, Nakamura could be setting up for a big time decision.

“The King of Strong Style” moving to Monday Night Raw could give him another refresh that leads to a spotlighted rivalry for him to explore in the weeks and months to come.

5. Tony D’Angelo

Ever since his cryptic final dinner at his restaurant on the July 29 episode of WWE NXT, Tony D’Angelo has not been seen on television.

The former NXT North American Champion had grown to become one of the brand’s centerpiece stars over the course of the past four years.

Thanks to his hard work, determination and consistency, D’Angelo has shown why he is ready for the main roster stage.

Moving to Raw, Tony D could become a breakout star where he has different possibilities like becoming part of the Intercontinental Championship picture or even becoming the newest member of The Vision.

4. Ricky Saints

Another WWE NXT star who has been looked at and discussed as a potential new member for The Vision is Ricky Saints.

Signing with WWE in February 2025, Saints quickly cemented himself as a top star for the NXT brand by winning the North American Championship just one month after his debut.

Whether it be in the ring or on the mic, Saints is someone who has every tool that should make him a superstar on the main roster.

Ricky joining the Raw roster could see him truly positioned as a standout talent where he could easily mix it up with the top talent like CM Punk, AJ Styles or Dominik Mysterio.

3. Lola Vice

Lola Vice is riding a ton of momentum coming off the heels of her most recent win at WWE NXT Heatwave.

Thanks to this victory, Vice will now challenge Jacy Jayne for the NXT Women’s Championship at No Mercy on September 27.

While she could easily capture the top prize for the NXT women’s division, Lola has improved by leaps and bounds in recent months, breaking out in WWE and Lucha Libre AAA.

Lola Vice getting drafted to Raw could see her reunite with Stephanie Vaquer to take the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship scene by storm or even rise up the ladder as a singles star and potential contender for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Title.

2. Trick Williams

Over the course of the past four years, Trick Williams has secured his place among the all-time greats to step foot on the WWE NXT brand.

Winning the NXT Championship twice and North American Championship, Williams was somehow able to etch his name in the record books and establish himself on every level.

Trick has put on some size and grown in confidence thanks in large part to his current role as the TNA World Champion, proving he can be a top star in a different promotion.

After making it clear he was ready over the past year, Trick could finally show up on Monday Night Raw as the newest star on the roster that could become a world champion down the line.

1. Jacob Fatu

No one has run roughshod over the entire WWE roster over the past year more than Jacob Fatu.

Signing with WWE in June 2024, “The Samoan Werewolf” immediately positioned himself as someone to watch by interacting and laying out the likes of Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton and Kevin Owens.

Following his recent feud with Solo Sikoa and The MFTs, Fatu might need a change of scenery to end this bitter war with his cousin.

Fatu making the move to Raw would put him directly in the spotlight once again where he could find himself teaming with his cousins in The Usos and Roman Reigns sometime soon.
