5 Raw superstars that should be drafted to Smackdown Live

While it's difficult to look past WrestleMania at the moment, a WWE draft or a 'superstar shake-up' is likely on its way soon. As we've seen in previous years, this has provided new rivalries, created new opportunities, and is generally a good way of stopping either product feeling too stale. With that being said, there are definitely a number of superstars who would benefit from a change in scenery to revamp or accelerate their career more than others. Here are five Raw superstars I feel would be better served joining Smackdown Live.

#5 - Cesaro

Separating from Sheamus could only improve Cesaro's career.

The Bar has run its course as a tag team. As good as they are, there aren't many tag teams left that the fans would be interested in seeing them take on. While traditionally this would spell either Sheamus or Cesaro turning their back on the other with a feud to follow, this was already done to death before the two joined forces as a tag team. By drafting one of the duo to Smackdown Live, the pair can cleanly part ways without the need for a long, drawn out rivalry. Cesaro seems like a better fit on Smackdown Live, as what he lacks in charisma, he definitely makes up for in wrestling ability. Sheamus can stay on the flagship show as the more decorated and established star, whilst Cesaro can forge a path for himself on Smackdown Live.

#4 - Matt Hardy

Does 'Woken' Matt Hardy need a change of scenery?

Woken Matt Hardy isn't working even though it should. The gimmick is funny and entertaining and just needs a little more space to grow. I think partnering Hardy with Wyatt has reduced him to just another crazy guy, and splitting the two up might be the way to see him blossom. On SmackDown Live, however, there is no superstar comparable to the 'Woken Warrior'. Having Hardy as the lone "out there" gimmick on Smackdown Live would help him stand out. I also feel Smackdown has a more independent feel compared to Raw, particularly when you consider the brands top stars. This gimmick thrived in the indies and I feel it would be better off away from the flagship show.

#3 - Nia Jax

Nia Jax ought to be the most dominant force in the women's division.

Jax doesn't seem like the monster she should be because there afd way too many strong female superstars on Raw. In particular, Asuka's undefeated streak really limits Jax's booking as she is unable to run over competition as she should. We have seen Jax being pushed recently, but she can only go as far as reaching Asuka, taking a loss, and then repeating the cycle. By moving Jax to SmackDown and away from Asuka, she can destroy the weaker competition and appear like the dominant force as she should be. The move would also set up interesting rivalries with Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch that we haven't seen before.

#2 - Balor Club

Would Balor Club be better served in Smackdown Live?

The top of the card on Raw is very crowded and Balor has struggled to find his place in the championship picture. By moving him to Smackdown live, Balor can finally grow to be the superstar he looked like he would become during his time in NXT. He would have the chance to put on great matches with the likes of AJ Styles, Kevin Owens and Shinsuke Nakamura; top stars that we know will have great in-ring chemistry with Balor. The rest of Balor Club should come with him and appear like a more dominant force than they do on Raw. Furthermore, Balor Club has the potential to take off on the Smackdown brand. The trio can be reunited with former leader AJ Styles and develop into one of the most formidable stables in recent memory.

#1 - Seth Rollins

Should Monday night Rollins come to an end?

Rollins has shown recently he is ready to headline any main event. However, the top of the Raw card is very crowded and it looks like it will stay like that for a while. Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman have been set up as more dominant than Rollins and programs with either aren't particularly enticing at this stage of their careers. We've seen him take on most of what Raw has to offer whereas the potential match options on Smackdown Live are incredibly enticing. Rollins vs. Styles, Rollins vs. Nakamura and Rollins vs. Owens would all be incredible and could carry the brand for months. Rollins deserves to be a top guy, and adding him to Smackdown Live would make the brand unmissable.
