WWE fans look to the WWE Draft each year to see their favorite stars get assigned to their home brands to chisel out the best out of them. Given this year’s WWE Draft is already underway, fans started to speculate on who lands where. And for obvious reasons, Roman Reigns’ potential brand identity has been the major focal point in the rumor mills with a chunk of fans seeing a massive brand change for The Tribal Chief.
The 2024 WWE draft kicks off Friday on SmackDown and stretches up to Monday on Raw, with talents from all three brands eligible to be reshuffled. When it comes to the uprooted king Roman Reigns, SmackDown seems to be a feasible call as the blue brand is where his family saga expanded over the years.
Roman Reigns and Bloodline seemingly stand as a SmackDown pick

Bloodline is seemingly on the verge of taking a new curve following Tama Tonga’s debut and Solo Sikoa’s redefined role in the faction. With Jacob Fatu being the next rumored shock addition to the family, it’s clear that some insanely intriguing twist is in the work. Meanwhile, WWE is also likely to recapitalize Reigns faded Supremacy once he’s back in the fold.
So, the amount of star power and fame the current Bloodline and Reigns will hold might not sit well with Raw and Netflix’s unstable viewership graph. Rather, it suits well the guaranteed USA Network viewers of SmackDown.
But a portion of fans believe the exact opposite.
WWE Fans can see Reigns signing to the Red brand
Some WWE intellectuals feel Reigns will move forth to SmackDown and come to Raw, adding value to the brand. Also, they think it will be a wise move as the long three hours of Monday Night will do justice to the most fascinating yet complicated saga that exists in the roster.
Roman Reigns and the Bloodline are 100% going to RAW in the Draft.
WWE wants their biggest draw on RAW when it moves to Netflix later in the year, it’s a longer show (so people can stop bitching about them taking up TV time), and Cody’s on SmackDown now, keeping them apart. pic.twitter.com/5ZbO3uUrP4
