WWE has concluded its inaugural transfer window, marking a significant shift in how superstars move between its flagship shows. The window, which opened in December 2024, closed during Royal Rumble weekend on February 2, 2025.

Moves to RAW:

• Logan Paul brings his United States Championship reign to Monday nights
• Austin Theory joins RAW’s rising young talent roster
• Grayson Waller joins his tag partner (and likely his show) to Netflix
• Bayley arrives following her departure from Damage CTRL

Moves to SmackDown:

• The Wyatt Sicks bring their supernatural presence to Friday nights
• The Miz returns to the blue brand after three years
• Braun Strowman rejoins SmackDown’s heavyweight division
• Damian Priest adds power to SmackDown’s main event scene
• Zelina Vega strengthens the women’s division

The new transfer system, modeled after professional sports leagues, allowed WWE superstars to negotiate moves freely between RAW, SmackDown, and NXT. This marks the first time WWE has implemented a formal transfer period, replacing the traditional draft system.

The transfers take effect immediately, with superstars debuting on their new brands in the coming weeks as WWE begins its road to Elimination Chamber and then WrestleMania 41.

Bayley has officially been moved to Raw as part of the WWE transfer window initiative aimed at shaking up its rosters.

WWE introduced the transfer window concept in late 2024, allowing talent from Raw, SmackDown, and NXT to negotiate moves between brands. While stars such as Drew McIntyre, Roman Reigns, Kevin Owens, and Cody Rhodes have made appearances on other brands, their transfers have yet to be formally announced.

WWE Transfer: The Wyatt Sicks Moved to SmackDown

Bayley is set to wrestle Nia Jax, a fellow former WWE Women’s Champion, on tonight’s episode of Raw. This match follows Bayley’s loss to SmackDown Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton on last week’s episode of SmackDown. Bayley had earned that title shot by winning a fatal four-way match against Jax, Naomi, and Bianca Belair. Adding intrigue to tonight’s match, it was Jax who originally defeated Bayley for the Women’s Title at SummerSlam after earning her championship opportunity by winning the Queen of the Ring tournament.

Bayley’s move to Raw promises to inject fresh rivalries into the red brand while continuing her ongoing pursuit of championship gold.

The Wyatt Sicks have been moved to SmackDown as part of the transfer window to shake up the current rosters.

The company announced a ‘transfer window’ earlier last month that allows all three of their brands in SmackDown, Raw, and NXT to negotiate with each other and move stars around.

Karrion Kross then revealed perhaps the biggest move of the stretch so far during the January 13 episode of Raw. While talking to The Miz backstage, Kross revealed that the Wyatt Sicks have officially been moved to the SmackDown roster.

The group of Uncle Howdy aka Bo Dallas, Erick Rowan, Joe Gacy, Dexter Lumis, & Nikki Cross made their official debut on Raw in June last year. They’ve been feuding with Kross’ Final Testament in recent months.

The Wyatts are the first faction to move nights as part of the transfer window. Braun Strowman previously joined SmackDown as well while Logan Paul confirmed that he’ll be part of the Raw roster in its Netflix era.

A number of other top stars such as Drew McIntyre, Roman Reigns, Kevin Owens, and Cody Rhodes have utilized the transfer window to appear on the opposite brands but their transfer has not been announced.

After multiple title changes at NXT New Year’s Evil, a number of developmental stars are also expected to be called up to the main roster soon. You can check out a list of our preferred trades here.

The newly announced WWE Transfer Window is set to shake up the rosters of RAW, SmackDown, and NXT. With exciting possibilities on the horizon, here are five moves we are eager to see happen.

Chad Gable to SmackDown

Chad Gable and the rest of American Made should really be moving over to the Blue brand and Friday nights. Gable has been languishing somewhat since his stellar feud with Sami Zayn earlier this year and he could be freshened up on a different brand.

Oba Femi to RAW

Oba Femi, a towering star from NXT, should be making the jump to RAW. After a successful run as NXT North American Champion, Femi’s powerful presence and athleticism make him a perfect fit for the main roster.

His potential debut on RAW could introduce him as a formidable force in the division, setting the stage for exciting rivalries with established stars

Cora Jade from NXT to SmackDown

Cora Jade has been a standout in NXT and is beyond ready for a main roster opportunity. Her move to SmackDown would not only enhance the women’s division but also allow her to showcase her talent against top competitors like Charlotte Flair (when she returns) and Bianca Belair.

Jade’s charisma and in-ring ability would undoubtedly make her an asset on Friday nights.

LA Knight to RAW

Having just lost his US Title to Shinsuke Nakamura, a move over to Raw and Monday nights would make sense for LA Knight…yeah. With the Netflix deal just a month or so away it would make sense for someone with his abilities on the microphone to be prominently featured for the new audience that could be coming to the product.

Roman Reigns to RAW

Lastly, moving Roman Reigns back to RAW would put the biggest star on the roster on the new Netflix show. As one of the biggest stars in wrestling today, Reigns’ presence on RAW would create major buzz and elevate the brand’s profile ahead of that transition from TV to streaming. His potential rivalries with top talents could lead to blockbuster matches that fans are eager to see, especially against the likes of CM Punk.
