WWE RAW and SmackDown have seen superstars switching brands in recent weeks. With RAW making its transition to Netflix in January 2025, rumors have been swirling about superstars moving between brands.
On the December 6th edition of SmackDown, commentator Michael Cole revealed that the WWE transfer window is tied to WWE RAW’s Netflix debut on January 6, 2025. This window will allow talent to move between RAW, SmackDown, and NXT.
With the transfer window now open, WWE announced that Logan Paul will join RAW after the Netflix debut. Paul, who has spent the last two years on WWE SmackDown, will now compete as a RAW superstar.
A few weeks ago, champions from both brands were spotted on RAW and SmackDown. Gunther spoke with SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis, while Cody Rhodes conversed with RAW General Manager Adam Pearce. Both top champions of RAW and SmackDown hinted at possible brand switches.
Amid this transfer window, recent reports confirm that WWE RAW superstar Chad Gable and his faction, American Made, will join the blue brand in 2025.
