WWE Draft 2023: 10 Roster Trades That MUST Happen

3. Seth Rollins (Raw > SmackDown)

Some folks will point out that there's no chance Seth Rollins jumps brands if Becky Lynch doesn't come with him, and that's probably valid. WWE would bend over backwards to accommodate the power couple, and it wouldn't suit them to have totally different schedules with a young child.

So, maybe Becks leaps to SmackDown too? That's up for debate from a creative perspective, but Seth defo needs to do it. He doesn't have all that much going on over on the flagship in April 2023, and he could use some fresh wrestlers to match up against or feud with over the next few months.

You might've noticed that this list is shifting a ton of star power from SmackDown > Raw too, so Rollins would help balance that out. A move to SmackDown could, assuming WWE splits the World Titles soon, pay dividends over the summer as well.

Could be time for Seth to get back in the hunt for gold.
