The Draft is reportedly set to make a return to WWE following this year's SummerSlam and one name that will be switching brands appears to have been revealed.

According to WrestleVotes, Big E has been pinned as one of the major singles superstars that WWE want to move from SmackDown over to Raw during the draft proceedings. This would effectively put all three of the New Day members - including Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods - back together, but the promotion still want to push Big E as a singles star.

In his role on the red brand, Big E would reportedly become one of the fresh faces for a main event scene that has become a little stagnant in recent months.

The 35-year-old had reportedly been highlighted as one of WWE's future major players when he was separated from the rest of The New Day during last October's draft, with Big E winning the Intercontinental Championship in December.

However, since losing the Title at WrestleMania 37, Big E has not featured too heavily on the blue brand. A feud with Aleister Black was canned after Black was released 10 days following his return to television.

With WWE heavily protecting Universal Champion Roman Reigns on SmackDown it appears a move to Raw for Big E will help to continue his trajectory up the card and into the main event scene.
