7 Trades that shouldn't happen in the WWE Draft 2021

#4. Damian Priest to SmackDown in the WWE Draft 2021

Damian Priest should stay on RAW in the upcoming WWE Draft. There are few superstars in WWE who have the momentum that Damian Priest has, and he has quickly gained popularity on Monday Night RAW.

A little over half a year after his debut, Damian Priest won the United States Championship when he defeated Sheamus at SummerSlam. Admittedly, there's a higher chance of the US and Intercontinental title changing brands than the World titles.

Damian Priest would benefit from going on SmackDown in the WWE Draft, especially when looking at the push he has received. However, he has been one of the highlights of RAW in 2021, and it would be a shame for the brand to lose him in the WWE Draft.

#3. Shinsuke Nakamura to RAW

Shinsuke Nakamura remains one of the few superstars to never change brands since the brand split was re-introduced in the summer of 2016. Debuting two nights after WrestleMania 33, Shinsuke Nakamura has enjoyed championship success on SmackDown and has established himself as a part of the brand. He is currently the Intercontinental Champion.

Alongside Carmella, Nakamura has never left SmackDown, and that tradition should continue in the WWE Draft 2021. There's a high chance of seeing a Damian Priest-Shinsuke Nakamura swap in the WWE Draft, but hopefully, it doesn't happen.
