Roman Reigns, a former WWE champion, may be on the verge of making a supriseing move to WWE’s RAW brand, potentially shattering rivalries and creating new dynamics. Currently without a title and no active rivalries on SmackDown, Reigns stands to benefit from a move to RAW, where he could transition smoothly without any unfinished business. The upcoming Netflix premiere of RAW could play a significant role in this possible move, as it could bolster the brand’s roster and increase its star power.
According to sources, WWE could facilitate Reigns’ move to RAW through various means. For instance, the upcoming transfer window could allow top champions, including Reigns, to switch brands, making it an opportune time for him to make the big switch. Another possible scenario is Reigns’ desire to win a new WWE title, which could drive him to move to RAW and pursue the World Heavyweight Championship.
The recent backstage attack on Sami Zayn and Jey Uso by Drew McIntyre, which could lead Reigns to request a move to RAW to take down his nemesis and establish himself as the brand’s face. In the wake of a recent loss to Solo Sikoa, Reigns may also be prompted to leave SmackDown and join RAW, where he could avenge his defeat and reignite his rivalry with Sikoa.
CM Punk’s involvement could also play a key role in Reigns’ potential move. Punk, who has made it clear that he owes a favor to Paul Heyman, could ask Heyman to repay him by moving Reigns to RAW. This would not only benefit Punk but also create opportunities for Reigns to take on Seth Rollins, who has been a thorn in Punk’s side since their on-screen feud.
