While WWE still maintains the brand split between all three brands, we have been seeing the rules being relaxed much more of late. Though it was initially believed that the Superstar could only change brands via the annual draft, it looks like many Superstars are being traded by the brands as per need.
Recently, a big name to have jumped ship was AJ Styles who returned to SmackDown after being on RAW for some time. The Phenomenal One has already made a big mark ever since joining SmackDown and has become the new IC Champion.

WrestleVotes says that their source has told them that Dolph Ziggler of SmackDown is set to join Monday Night RAW as the replacement for AJ Styles.
Source: Dolph Ziggler is moving to RAW as part of the AJ Styles “trade” to SmackDown.
Dolph Ziggler had been feuding with Otis over the past few months but with Otis becoming the MITB winner and marching forward, Ziggler was left as an afterthought on Friday Night SmackDown.
