Batista is said to be a candidate to be moved, depending on his contract talks with WWE. Randy Orton or John Cena is also expected to be sent to SmackDown but neither of these moves are confirmed. Edge or Chris Jericho is expected to be sent to RAW, especially since their feud seems to be coming to an end this Sunday at Extreme Rules
