The Road to WrestleMania is on and the fans are excited to see what's next. While the WrestleMania picture is pretty much clear, it might create a bit of curiosity to what next in the company.

Intriguing storylines will culminate at the grandest stage of them all and its the Post WrestleMania times which is being discussed here. Many a time it happens that a superstar is found to be wrestling on the different courtesy of the WWE Creative who feel there might turn out to be something better if a brand switch is made by a certain superstar. This year is no different as the current roster possesses some great names who need to move in order to maintain their credibility at the top of the mountain.

Here we list down 6 superstars who should switch brands post WrestleMania.


#6 Dolph Ziggler

The showoff had a decent 2018 on RAW. He became the Intercontinental Champion, joined forces with the likes of Drew Mcintyre and Braun Strowman, battled The Shield and became the RAW Tag Team champion alongside Drew Mcintyre.

Looking at above, it might seem that Dolph is doing good on RAW but when the man's in-ring qualities are being discussed, he simply deserves a lot more.

History tells us that SmackDown is where Dolph feels most at home. It's at SmackDown Live where the best of Ziggler has been witnessed and it seems in order to give Ziggler's career a much-needed push, a switch to the blue brand is what should happen.

Despite having a decent 2018, Dolph is nowhere to be seen on RAW. A brand switch will open the gates for possible rivalries with the top of SmackDown live Superstars.

Dolph has been tremendous for the company for all these years and the WWE Championship deserves a man of Dolph's calibre to be vying for it.

#5 Finn Balor

Finn has had a great start to 2019. Balor has been stupendous in the ring and it seems the WWE is ready to make Finn prosper once more. His match against Brock was greatly appreciated and his rivalries with the likes of Bobby Lashley and Drew Mcintyre have also drawn some appreciation. The Irish Superstar recently won the Intercontinental Championship against Bobby Lashley at Elimination Chamber.

With that said what really Finn needs at this point is momentum and interesting matchups. The SmackDown roster presents the perfect place for Finn to be beyond WrestleMania 35.

Men like Daniel Bryan, Rey Mysterio, Randy Orton and more comprise the blue brand and it will be truly mesmerizing to witness Balor compete against the above-stated names.

While the Universal Title picture isn't involving Finn right now but a brand might get the Irish Superstar back in the world title frame.

Moreover, every great Superstar has had the opportunity to work with both the brands simply put because of their tremendous work rate and an undeniable ability to deliver great matches with anyone.

In order for Finn to be the star of tomorrow, the WWE board needs to give Finn some taste of SmackDown Live as well.

#4 Alexa Bliss

The Goddess has somehow dropped down the pecking order in the Women's division. From being the star on RAW to be found nowhere heading into the Wrestlemania, Bliss won't be too happy of the recent outgoings in the company.

After losing her championship to Nia Jax at WrestleMania 34, Alexa Bliss has found it hard to replicate her former self. What Bliss needs the most at this point is a brand switch which will surely infuse a fresh air in her career and help the WWE Creative devise interesting storylines on the blue brand.

There is simply no denying of the fact that Bliss for all her skills and personality is one of the prized assets for the company and would do incredibly well if given a fresh chance.

The red brand enjoyed its relative period of success with Bliss but it's time for the goddess to return home! SmackDown Live will be delighted with the return of their former Women's Champion.

#3 Samoa Joe

Samoa Joe has had a mixed WWE career so far! The destroyer first came in as Triple H’s henchman who was handed the responsibility of getting rid of the architect, Seth Rollins. From thereon the destroyer's career has gone up and down in terms of progress. From battling Brock Lesnar at Great Balls of Fire to being part of a massive Fatal 4-way match for the Universal Championship alongside Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman at Summerslam in 2017, Samoa Joe has had some impact in his WWE career so far

Joe was also involved in a very personal bout against AJ Styles and came close to winning the distinguished WWE title a few times.

With that being said, Samoa Joe isn’t enjoying a very successful period at SmackDown as his feuds with Mustafa Ali and Jeff Hardy have rarely drawn major interest from the WWE Universe.

Maybe a brand switch could get the submission specialist back in the main event picture as there is no doubt in Joe being a genuine main event material.

#2 AJ Styles

The Phenomenal, AJ Styles has been superb ever since he made his WWE debut. The former WWE Champion is surely one of the greatest performers of all-time and the WWE fans are lucky to witness this legendary athlete perform week in week out at the highest level.

"SmackDown Live is the house that AJ Styles built", these words came out the phenomenal one's mouth and the WWE universe has never denied the fact that AJ has been one of the prime reasons for SmackDown Live's rise to great heights.

Styles has had a tremendous run on the blue brand as his rivalries with the likes of Samoa Joe, Daniel Bryan and Shinsuke Nakamura. He held the WWE championship for a startling 371 days and defeated almost the entire SmackDown roster in his glorious reign.

But when it comes WWE and most importantly the WWE Universe, changes are welcomed! And when it comes to AJ Styles, a change in brands will do wonders for the fans!

Witnessing the phenomenal one go head to head with the very best on Raw will surely be enticing for the WWE Universe.

#1 Braun Strowman

The monster among men was possible the most cheered, the most entertaining male Superstar of 2018. Braun literally bossed the roster and his portrayal of strength did mesmerize the fans worldwide.

Braun Strowman terrorized massive opponents like Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns in 2018, a year which truly marked as Strowman's year courtesy of his all-around display. The monster won the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia, went on to win the money in the bank, won his brand yet another Survivor Series match and more.

The monster among men had a remarkable year but the only thing which remains distant from his massive hands is the Universal Championship. Braun has come close to winning the title on too many occasions but to this date, a world title reign is something Strowman hasn't been a part of.

With the amount of talent on RAW and the current signs of where the red brand might go post WrestleMania with the likes of Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre, it would be quite the task to put Strowman back in the Universal Title frame.

A brand switch which will see Strowman compete on Tuesday nights on regular which might be the most beneficial scenario for everyone. The monster continues his strong bond the WWE Universe and SmackDown get someone as entertaining and as frightening as Braun Strowman.

The former Wyatt family member will surely spice up the battle for the WWE Championship on SmackDown Live.
