4. Dolph Ziggler

Remember the sweet emotion that accompanied Dolph Ziggler beating The Miz at No Mercy 2016 to save his career and become Intercontinental Champion? That feels like a lifetime ago for Dolph, and he must be hoping this move to Raw bears fruit.

That said, there wasn't any point to Ziggler staying on SmackDown regardless of WWE's plans for him on Raw. Dolph had to move and get as far away as possible from the most dreadful period of his company career. Now he has Drew McIntyre in his corner, and there's a budding Shawn Michaels/Diesel dynamic on the horizon. Well, to a degree.

It's the best case scenario, and if something even minutely similar transpires, it'll be a saving grace for Ziggler. His big-bumping style and occasional cowardice when the chips are down suits the idea of a bigger man in his corner. An eventual (and natural) feud with McIntyre is also enticing.
