If only one of these roster trades happens between RAW and SmackDown during the 2021 WWE Draft, it has to be this one. Both Superstars need the switch, for the sake of themselves and their brands. Drew McIntyre should not stay on Monday nights beyond October.

The Scottish Warrior cannot challenge for the WWE Championship while Bobby Lashley still has it. Meanwhile, his non-title stories have not been up to the mark. McIntyre desperately needs a new pool of superstars to feud with, having exhausted all possible options on RAW.

He can even be a potential opponent for Roman Reigns down the line, whose Universal Championship reign is seemingly unstoppable. This is why Big E also needs to switch brands. The Money in the Bank winner should cash in his contract on Lashley.

Ya know … Big E COULD cash in on Lashley … which would put him back on Raw, with Kofi and Woods … 🤔 #SummerSlam pic.twitter.com/Vs4LEBckLW

A move to RAW takes him one step closer to The All-Mighty WWE Champion, as well as his New Day brothers. Big E can fill the main event babyface spot on the red brand and instantly become WWE Champion, while Drew McIntyre is fresh once again on SmackDown.

This trade would be win-win-win. For RAW, SmackDown, and the fans.
