Unlike previous years, WWE has not held its annual Draft in 2025, with stars moving between brands sporadically throughout the year, such as recently with Sami Zayn moving to SmackDown and LA Knight heading the other way to Raw.
There’s every chance that more roster moves could take place before the end of the year as WWE continues to refresh storylines and rivalries post-Crown Jewel.
Here are five WWE stars to switch brands after Crown Jewel 2025
5. Tiffany Stratton
Tiffany Stratton has now held the WWE Women’s Championship since January.
The 26-year-old has cleaned out the SmackDown division, defeating Charlotte Flair, Jade Cargill, and Nia Jax on multiple occasions.
With few challengers left, a brand switch could provide the fresh opponents and intriguing matchups.
Following Crown Jewel, could we see a double switch — with WWE Women’s Champion Stratton moving to Raw and Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer heading to SmackDown?

4. Montez Ford
The Street Profits have been teasing a breakup for several months — something acknowledged both in storyline and on the partners’ social media accounts.
On the 10 October edition of SmackDown — the go-home show before WWE’s Crown Jewel: Perth — the Profits failed in their efforts to recapture the Tag Team Titles from The Wyatt Sicks.
Following their return from Australia, it seems increasingly likely that the duo will finally go their separate ways.
A split would likely see a brand change, with Montez Ford potentially moving to Raw and finally receiving the long-awaited singles that many have been calling for.

3. Oba Femi
As well as stars moving between Raw and SmackDown, there’s also the strong possibility of call-ups from NXT.
One name that appears almost certain to be brought to the main roster soon is Oba Femi.
Femi lost the NXT Title to Ricky Saints at last month’s No Mercy PLE and hasn’t been seen on NXT programming since.
The 27 year-old, Femi is one of WWE’s most highly touted prospects, and his main roster debut seems imminent — with SmackDown looking like the most likely destination.

2. Bianca Belair
Bianca Belair has been out of action since WrestleMania, after suffering a significant finger injury during her widely-celebrated three-way bout against Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY.
Belair recently confirmed that she will be back soon so perhaps that return will come after Crown Jewel is out the way.
Her imminent return could also coincide with a brand move from SmackDown to Raw.
Such a switch would set up a potential dream match with Women’s Champion Stephanie Vaquer.

1. Trick Williams
Crown Jewel: Perth takes place on 11 October, and the following day WWE’s partner promotion TNA Wrestling holds its biggest event of the year — Bound for Glory.
In the main event, WWE-contracted NXT star Trick Williams will defend the TNA World Heavyweight Championship against Mike Santana.
It appears that Williams’ impressive run with the title will finally come to an end, with TNA’s new top babyface expected to take the win.
In defeat, it may be time for the super-charismatic 31-year-old to make the jump to WWE’s main roster — could we soon see him reunite with former partner Carmelo Hayes on SmackDown?
