10 Worst WWE Roster "Shake-Up" Moves

10. Splitting The Dudley Boyz (2002)

While there were many questionable decisions in the original split, the most puzzling concerned the continuity of the Draft itself. When Vince McMahon and Ric Flair went back and forth picking talent like captains of a kickball game, there were two instances where a collective group was taken. Flair's second pick for Raw was the nWo trio of Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, and X-Pac. McMahon's fifth pick for SmackDown was Billy and Chuck, the reigning Tag Team champions.

Yet shortly after, Flair chose Bubba Ray Dudley individually, while McMahon picked D-Von seconds later. Why? It was never explained why Flair would want to choose only Bubba, and the move wasn't very well-received. Bubba fared alright as a reliable Raw midcarder, while D-Von foundered as a heel playing the role of corrupt Reverend. The two were smartly put back together on Raw eight months later, giving the brand an established duo.
