5 WWE Superstars who could change their rosters after Crown Jewel 2024
In a few weeks, WWE will be heading to Saudi Arabia to host its upcoming Crown Jewel Premium Live Event. The company has been preparing to make it a spectacular event by stacking up the card with some high-profile matches. However, there is a high chance that the promotion will provide a gentle reboot to both of its rosters following the spectacle.
There are many inter-brand storylines currently going on in WWE that might force several superstars to switch brands. Besides, there is also a long list of names whose time on their respective brands has apparently come to an apogee and needs a fresh start. Therefore, fans can expect a few trades between RAW and SmackDown after Crown Jewel.
Let's look at five WWE superstars who could change their rosters after Crown Jewel 2024:
#5. Jey Uso
Jey Uso is currently reigning as the Intercontinental Champion on RAW. However, following his appearance on SmackDown last week, it has become quite apparent that he would cross paths with The Bloodline much sooner. Therefore, there is a good possibility that The YEET Master would move to SmackDown after Crown Jewel to get involved in the ongoing family war.
With The Bloodline saga at an interesting turn, Jey Uso is expected to join sides with Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso. The resurgence of the OG Bloodline will seemingly lead to a Men's WarGames Match with Solo Sikoa's faction at Survivor Series: WarGames. Therefore, Main Event Jey might get traded to the SmackDown right after Crown Jewel.
With the OG Bloodline's reunion seemingly on the horizon, The YEET Master's move to the blue brand after the upcoming spectacle seems inevitable.
#4. Bayley
Bayley has been a mainstay of SmackDown's women's division for a long time. During her run on the blue brand, she has achieved championships and other incredible feats. However, it looks like The Role Model has little left to do on Friday nights.
Therefore, WWE might have her switch brands in the upcoming weeks. Moving to Monday Night RAW would provide a fresh start for Bayley that she has been seeking for weeks. There are several unexplored feuds that she might visit on the red brand to give rise to some incredible storylines.
Moreover, the Monday Night RAW women's division also lacks notable babyfaces. Therefore, the addition of The Role Model to Monday nights could be a win-win situation for WWE.
#3. Sami Zayn
Sami Zayn is another name who currently has no direction in WWE. There are rumors that he might find himself in the thick of things with The Bloodline yet again. Therefore, there is a high possibility that the company might have him switch brands from RAW to SmackDown after Crown Jewel.
With the ongoing rumors of Roman Reigns reuniting the OG Bloodline, The Honorary Uce's return in The Bloodline Saga would complete the much-awaited reunion. Therefore, the OTC will likely seek Zayn's support to take down Solo Sikoa's Bloodline and equalize the numbers game against the heel faction.
Hence, Sami Zayn could move to Friday nights after Crown Jewel 2024 to reunite with Reigns and The Usos ahead of Survivor Series: WarGames.
#2. Logan Paul
Logan Paul is currently one of the biggest stars in WWE. Given his social media status, he is a huge draw for the company. Therefore, there is a chance that the Stamford-based promotion might trade him to the red brand, as Monday Night RAW would require high-profile stars during its move to Netflix in 2025.
Besides, there are currently no plans for The Maverick on SmackDown. Therefore, by switching him to RAW, the company could work with him on a clean slate to start off a new chapter in his young career. Also, his star power could easily elevate the already stacked roster of the red brand when it moves to Netflix.
Moreover, there are adequate top stars on the blue brand currently. Hence, moving Logan Paul to RAW could be a wise choice to balance the star power between both brands.
#1. WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre
Drew McIntyre has been away from television ever since his barbaric Hell in a Cell match with CM Punk. With the deep-personal feud between the two stars now being in the history books, there is a chance that WWE might have McIntyre switch brands to have a fresh start.
The Scottish Warrior has a bunch of unexplored feuds that he could have on SmackDown in the upcoming months following Crown Jewel. In fact, the blue brand is home to some of his former rivals, like Randy Orton, who could be a perfect match for this heel version of McIntyre.
Besides, Drew McIntyre could chase the Undisputed WWE Championship and deliver a blockbuster feud with Cody Rhodes on SmackDown. Hence, the Stamford-based promotion might trade him to the blue brand after Crown Jewel to give him a fresh start.
