10 Most Shocking WWE Draft Moments
10. Miz And Morrison Split
Fractured permanently in the 2009 Draft, John Morrison and The Miz had become one of the most talked-about acts in the company despite despite what should have been relative obscurity on the forgotten Tuesday night wasteland that was the re-imagined ECW.
Initially paired as duelling partners during the ECW/Smackdown talent exchange, the duo's chemistry was quickly apparent. Morrison's dream narcism gelled well with Miz' loudmouth arrogance, and the team found great success in a beleaguered division at the time.
Winning both the Raw and Smackdown tag team title equivalents of the day during their time together, they also gained acclaim for their hilarious series of WWE.com shorts entitled 'The Dirt Sheet'. Taking comedic aim at the company and industry at large, it became a cult classic for it's gentle mockery of fellow talents and common company cliches.
However, shortly after losing a title unification clash on the WrestleMania 25 pre-show, the company decided it was time to separate them.
Morrison's dazzling moveset aided his immediate babyface run on Smackdown, but despite the potential for their individual successes, it was sad nonetheless to see them part.
For Miz, that meant an immediate turn on his partner. Following a loss on the match that ended up seeing him drafted to Raw, he ushered his partner in for a hug before sneak attacking him to announce himself as a new heel on Raw.
