10 WWE Stars Who Desperately Need To Switch Brands

1. Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins' performance on the February 19 episode of Raw, in which he competed for 61 minutes in a Gauntlet match, defeating Roman Reigns and John Cena clean in the center of the ring before dropping a fall to Elias, was the stuff of a Superstar ready to carry a show on his back.

With a logjam of main event talent at the top of Raw, Rollins has struggled to break through and thrive at the top of the card, primarily as a result of the emphasis placed on fellow Shield teammate Roman Reigns.

On SmackDown, Rollins would be able to stand alongside AJ Styles as one of two top stars and, eventually, build toward a match with The Phenomenal One. That match, worthy of one of the major pay-per-view offerings like SummerSlam or Survivor Series, would provide the blue brand with a marquee match it does not currently have beyond Styles vs. Nakamura.

Perhaps Rollins' greatest contribution to the brand would be the load he would take off of Styles' shoulders. Since the brand extension, Styles has carried SmackDown on his back. Rollins would give the show a second Superstar to craft shows around without relying so heavily on one franchise player.
