Friday Night SmackDown has several different stars on the roster that might be moving to Monday nights.
Switching brands is usually a great way to become a more prominent star on WWE TV.
Looking at the current landscape on WWE Raw, there are several SmackDown stars that could help Monday nights over the next few months.
Here are three WWE SmackDown stars who could benefit the most from a move to Raw.
3. Carmelo Hayes
To start 2026, Carmelo Hayes came into the year as the WWE United States Champion.
With the US Open Challenge, Hayes became one of the most featured stars on Friday Night SmackDown.
After losing the title in March, Hayes was left off the WrestleMania 42 card and stopped being regularly highlighted on the blue brand.
Needing a fresh scenery, Melo feels like one SmackDown star who might be able to shine more in the Intercontinental Title scene on Monday Night Raw.
2. Jordynne Grace
Getting called up from WWE NXT to the main roster, Jordynne Grace looked to be a fresh face in the SmackDown women’s division.
The former TNA Knockouts World Champion hasn’t been featured on WWE TV in months now.
Despite recent reports about a new tag team with Ivy Nile, Grace might be next to head to WWE Raw.
Joining forces with Nile could be just what Jordynne Grace needs to regain momentum and could do just that on Monday Night Raw in the coming months.
1. Drew McIntyre
Since losing to Jacob Fatu at WrestleMania 42, Drew McIntyre has not been seen on WWE TV in months.
McIntyre is still one of the biggest stars on the WWE roster and could benefit from a move to Raw.
Considering his history with The Bloodline, McIntyre can reinsert himself in the top storylines on WWE Raw.
With Monday nights in need of star power, “The Scottish Warrior” feels like a necessary addition.
