WWE has a talented pool of wrestlers, and they are competent enough to become top stars in the company. The promotion hires top-notch athletes, and many on the roster have wrestled in different promotions prior. The experience makes them adept to becoming the top guys in the WWE. Unfortunately, many superstars don't get a deserving big push.

Raw runs 3 hours every week, and the roster is bigger than SmackDown's. The red brand has quite a few wrestlers who are proficient in the squared circle, but they are not top guys in the company. However, they might get a big push if they switch from the brand.

SmackDown Live is called the land of opportunities, and here we discuss 3 Raw Superstars who might reinvent themselves on SmackDown Live.


#3 Elias

Elias is indeed a gifted talent who is proficient on the mic, as well as in the squared circle. Elias is quite popular in the WWE Universe, and he deserves a big push. He might get a better opportunity if he moves to SmackDown Live where he can feud with several top-notch superstars.

Elias made his name in the independent circuit where he wrestled for various promotions. Eventually, he signed for WWE in 2014, and he was on NXT. Thereafter he made his main roster debut in 2017, and he was drafted to Raw. As a matter of fact, Elias was a heel after his Raw debut, but he recently turned babyface.

Currently, Elias is having a feud with Bobby Lashley, and he is set to face Lashley at TLC. His feud with Lashley is quite ordinary. However, Elias can have notable feuds with superstars like The Miz, AJ Styles, Daniel Bryan, Randy Orton, and many more on SmackDown Live. Elias might even get a chance to become the WWE Champion.

#2 Jinder Mahal

Jinder Mahal is one superstar who needs to change brand. Mahal was in the blue brand where he achieved much success. He once had a dream run on SmackDown Live before his upward trajectory was altered.

Mahal made his WWE debut in 2011, and his first WWE run was not impressive. He was part of the wrestling stable 3MB, but he was a jobber. WWE released Mahal in 2014.

However, his fortune changed when WWE re-signed Mahal in 2016, and he was drafted to SmackDown Live. He turned out to be one of the best heels of the blue brand, and he became the WWE Champion. In fact, his title reign was remarkable, and he held the title for 170 days.

Mahal was traded to Raw this year, and his run has not been good. He has been involved in several feuds, but he has not had a notable feud. Therefore, Mahal needs to go back to SmackDown Live, and he might become one of the important superstars on the blue brand once again.

#1 Finn Balor

Finn Balor is undeniably the most deserving superstar, and he is the number one on this list. Balor made his main roster debut in 2016, and he was drafted to Raw. Balor is scheduled to face Drew McIntyre at TLC.

Balor was a massive name in Japan, and WWE signed him in 2014. Balor had a successful run in NXT, as he was the longest reigning NXT Champion. He had several stupendous feuds in NXT, and he became a fan favourite.

Subsequently, Balor made his main roster debut on Raw, and he defeated Roman Reigns in his first match. Balor also became the first ever Universal Champion, but he got injured, and he had to relinquish his title.

Balor had notable success earlier, but his run has not been the same after his return from injury. He has not been in the title picture, and he has had some sub-standard feuds. Therefore, Balor should go to SmackDown Live where he might become one of the top stars of the company.
