Netflix Influence Looms Over WWE Transfer Window as RAW Prepares for 2025 Launch

The WWE Universe is bracing for big changes as the company’s upcoming transfer window promises to mix things up in major ways. Announced on the December 6 episode of SmackDown, the move will allow talent to switch between Raw, SmackDown, and NXT, and it might not stop there—championship titles could also find new homes.

Michael Cole confirmed the transfer window is tied to WWE Raw’s major debut on Netflix, scheduled for January 6, 2025. Sources close to the situation revealed that Roman Reigns and the OG Bloodline are among the top names rumored to move from SmackDown to Raw. Reigns has been open about his schedule heading into WrestleMania season, previously stating his “dates for going into WrestleMania from Rumble forward” were not finalized at the time.

PW Nexus added more context to the shake-up, explaining that Netflix has its sights set on specific stars to headline Raw’s new era. Creative shifts are also a key factor, with the company looking to refresh its roster dynamics and storylines heading into 2025.

Titles may also be on the move, with PW Nexus reporting, “All superstars are eligible with the expectation that a title or two will be swapping brands.” Although no championships have been confirmed for relocation, fans are speculating whether titles like the NXT and WWE Speed Championships—both tied to their respective brands—could be affected.

WWE’s transfer window is already shaping up to be a major game-changer, with stars and possibly even championships on the move. Whether this shake-up delivers fresh matchups or stirs up controversy, one thing is for sure—fans won’t be able to look away as the WWE Universe enters this new chapter.
