8 WWE Stars That Should Trade Brands By 2017

8. Rusev

When it comes to Raw's Power Rankings, the Bulgarian Brute is nowhere near the top of the list.

Now that he has lost the United States Championship, it's pretty apparent that he is falling faster down the list of legitimate challengers. If he were to stay on Raw through the rest of the year, he'd be jobbing to Roman Reigns until WrestleMania, maybe getting a squash match here or there against some unknown local competitor. The Bulgarian Brute deserves better than that.

And Smackdown Live can be the place to turn him around. His star power can help elevate lower level talent that's still on the show and, in turn, elevate himself to a main event player. Even a face turn could do wonders for Rusev - can you imagine himself with Lana versus The Miz with Maryse? That could be a feud we as fans can invest in, especially with the work both men have been putting out recently.
