If there's anyone who deserves an opportunity to switch brands via the WWE Draft, it's Erik. The last few months have been tough for The Viking Raiders as a whole, but with Ivar out injured for the long haul with a neck injury, Erik needs an alternate plan that does not involve him losing a plethora of squash matches.

Erik himself went under the knife recently, so he'll be out of commission for a few weeks. But his return should take place on SmackDown. He simply isn't cut out for a singles run on RAW, given how the mid-card is shaping up on the Red brand.

Today I had hardware removed from my cyborg arm. I’ve been putting off this surgery for a long time and just worked thru the pain and limitations caused by a surgical screw protruding into my triceps.Thanks to the wonderful Dr Dugas, I’m excited to come back at full strength. pic.twitter.com/9iwOr8jZKE

If he's allowed to move to SmackDown through the WWE Draft, Erik can find some momentum by temporarily aligning with babyfaces on the roster, especially considering the Blue brand's love affair with multi-man tag matches. Erik could also be given a legitimate singles run too, as there are a few heels that he can take on in convincing storylines and emerge as the victor.
