Speculation is building about which brand Roman Reigns, the former WWE Undisputed Champion, will join RAW or SmackDown. As 2025 approaches, WWE is set for a major roster shake-up.
With RAW making its transition to Netflix in January 2025, rumors have been swirling about superstars switching brands. WWE RAW’s debut on Netflix is just one month away, scheduled for January 6, 2025. A major announcement was revealed on SmackDown.
During the December 6th edition of SmackDown, Cody Rhodes faced an interruption from RAW superstars Chad Gable and his faction, American Made. Gable announced that he was part of a transfer, bringing his stable along with him.
Commentator Michael Cole later confirmed that the transfer window is linked to WWE RAW’s Netflix debut on January 6, 2025. This transfer window will allow talent to move between RAW, SmackDown, and NXT.
Champions of both brands were also spotted on RAW and SmackDown. Gunther was seen speaking with SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis, while Cody Rhodes talked with RAW General Manager Adam Pearce, with both champions hinting at potential brand switches.
In recent days, several wrestlers have been spotted on different brands, hinting at potential brand switches. Recent reports now reveal that Roman Reigns and his faction, the original Bloodline, will move to the red brand during the WWE transfer window.

Cory Hayes of PWNexus reveals that WWE superstars are eligible for a brand switch, with the expectation that one or two titles will also change brands. Netflix’s interest in the stars is driving some of the changes, while others aim to shake up the creative direction.
The reports also confirm that Roman Reigns, along with his faction, the original Bloodline, will move to RAW during the WWE transfer window. With the red brand gaining the original Bloodline, many wonder if superstars will switch brands as the Netflix debut approaches.
