Adam Pearce to lure two WWE “free agents” from SmackDown to RAW on Netflix in 2025? Exploring the possibility
Adam Pearce is currently serving as the General Manager of RAW in WWE. As the authority figure of the red brand, he strives to ensure that rules and orders are followed on every episode. However, some things occasionally spiral out of his control, as seen in the ongoing feud between Seth Rollins and Bronson Reed.
Meanwhile, with RAW set to debut on Netflix in 2025, there's speculation that Adam Pearce might bring Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso to Monday nights. Interestingly, neither Roman nor Jimmy has been officially drafted or assigned to a specific brand. The Original Tribal Chief was pulled from the draft pool by Paul Heyman, while Jimmy Uso was on hiatus from SmackDown during the draft.
This effectively means that both are currently working as free agents, appearing on SmackDown without any brand restrictions. With RAW moving to Netflix, Adam Pearce could seize this opportunity and attempt to sign Roman and Jimmy to the red brand. Jey Uso and Sami Zayn are already official members of Monday Night RAW.
So if Reigns and Jimmy join them, it would put the original Bloodline under the banner of the red brand. It will be fascinating to see how the Bloodline saga unfolds after Survivor Series: WarGames 2024, where the OG Bloodline is set to face Solo Sikoa's faction.
Roman Reigns is already speculated to join Adam Pearce's RAW brand
As WWE moves closer to 2025, the Stamford-based promotion recently unveiled a new promotional poster for the Road to WrestleMania 41 from SmackDown. Surprisingly, Roman Reigns has been removed from the poster, with Solo Sikoa featured in his place.
Adding fuel to the fire, speculation has been rife about Roman potentially moving under Adam Pearce on the RAW brand with its upcoming Netflix debut. Given this scenario, it now seems like a realistic possibility. This shift could also explain why Sami Zayn and Jey Uso remain on Monday nights despite the OG Bloodline reunion.
Previously, fans believed that Sami and the YEET Master might be traded back to the blue brand, but that hasn’t happened. The likely reason is that WWE may instead be planning to move Reigns and Jimmy Uso to RAW. This would explain why the OG Bloodline members from RAW weren’t traded to SmackDown.
The primary motive behind placing the OG Bloodline under Adam Pearce's brand seems to be boosting ratings ahead of RAW's Netflix debut. The Bloodline saga is already one of WWE’s most compelling storylines, and the presence of the OG Bloodline on Monday nights would undoubtedly drive viewership even higher.
