More WWE Stars To Be Traded To Different Brands

Since WrestleMania 42, there have been several stars that have been called up to the WWE main roster from NXT or switched brands.

From the NXT call-ups like Ethan Page, Sol Ruca and Fatal Influence to traded stars like GUNTHER, Finn Balor and Jacob Fatu, this has done a good job of freshening things up across all three brands.

In the coming months, there could be even more notable names who are traded to another brand.

Here are eight more WWE stars to be potentially traded to different brands.

8. Chad Gable

At AAA Noche de Los Grandes, El Grande Americano defeated The Original El Grande Americano in a Mask vs. Mask match. After this loss, The Original El Grande unmasked to reveal himself as Chad Gable.

Making his first appearance on WWE television without the mask in months, Gable appeared on the June 5 edition of SmackDown in a pair of backstage segments.

After a brief confrontation with Sami Zayn, the former Olympian tried to make amends with Rey Fenix after making a mockery of the lucha libre culture when he last faced him at WrestleMania 41.

This should lead to a redemption arc for Gable that might see him make his new home on Friday Night SmackDown moving forward.

7. Nikkita Lyons

Over the past several months, Nikkita Lyons has garnered more exposure with multiple appearances across WWE NXT, Evolve and LFG.

Since signing with WWE in 2021, Lyons has showcased her look and charisma that makes her an entertaining figure in the women’s division.

After several setbacks thanks to a series of injuries, it finally feels that Lyons has the momentum necessary to get a look on the WWE main roster.

Following several reports about her potential main roster callup, Nikkita Lyons feels like someone who could find a significant role on WWE main roster programming sooner rather than later.

6. Josh Briggs

Another longtime NXT star who feels like he might be in line for a big opportunity on the main roster is Josh Briggs.

Having signed with WWE in 2021, Briggs was brought in after a noteworthy run on the indies, most notably with Evolve.

After spending the past five years in WWE NXT, it might be time for Briggs to have his “make or break” moment by getting a main roster callup.

With the size and look of someone who can play an effective bodyguard for a main roster talent like Dominik Mysterio or Ethan Page, Briggs could get his first real break on Monday Night Raw or Friday Night SmackDown soon.

5. Lyra Valkyria

Since getting called up to the WWE main roster in 2024, Lyra Valkyria has become one of the most featured talents on Monday Night Raw.

This led to Valkyria becoming the first ever WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion and having a high profile feud with Becky Lynch in 2025.

However, Valkyria has been somewhat lost in the shuffle in the women’s tag team scene alongside Bayley.

Looking for a major opportunity on the blue brand, Valkyria could add to a revived SmackDown women’s division if she made the jump to Friday nights.

4. Giulia

Called up to the WWE main roster in 2025, Giulia eventually made her home on Friday Night SmackDown.

Despite two reigns as the WWE Women’s United States Champion, it felt like ‘The Beautiful Madness’ had stagnated quite a bit.

On the June 5 edition of WWE SmackDown, Giulia ended her partnership with Kiana James after her representative blamed her for losing in the first round of the Queen of the Ring tournament.

After a standout performance in the Queen of the Ring first round herself, Giulia could make a permanent move to Monday nights and become a new addition to the Raw women’s scene moving forward.

3. Royce Keys

At WWE Royal Rumble 2026, Royce Keys made his debut with the company as an entrant in the men’s Royal Rumble match.

The former Powerhouse Hobbs has since made his new home on Friday Night SmackDown.

In a series of backstage segments, Keys has displayed his longstanding friendship with Jacob Fatu with the two men bonding and reminiscing about their journeys to WWE.

Wanting to get answers for Fatu’s recent acknowledgment of Roman Reigns and joining The Bloodline, Keys could be traded to Monday Night Raw where he can continue his story with ‘The Samoan Werewolf.’

2. The MFTs (Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga & Talla Tonga)

Speaking of Roman Reigns and The Bloodline, Solo Sikoa and The MFTs recently had an interaction with his family members.

At WWE Clash In Italy 2026, Reigns defeated Jacob Fatu in a Tribal Combat match to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.

After the match, The MFTs were seen watching the aftermath from the crowd and seemed to tease a showdown with The Bloodline in the future.

Sikoa bringing Talla Tonga and Tama Tonga with him to Monday Night Raw could bring this full scale familial warfare to the next level before long.

1. CM Punk

At WWE WrestleMania 42 night two, Roman Reigns defeated CM Punk to win the World Heavyweight Championship.

On the April 20 WWE Raw after WrestleMania 42, Punk declared that he would not let this loss deter him and would remain ready when a title opportunity fell out of the sky.

However, Punk has not appeared on WWE television in the two months since this show.

‘The Best In The World’ looking to rebound from his Mania loss could see him make the move to Friday Night SmackDown where he might take Cody Rhodes up for his offer for an Undisputed WWE Championship match sooner rather than later.
