10 WWE Stars Who Were Drafted To The Right Show (And 5 Who Weren't)

15. John Cena To SmackDown (Right Show)

In order to establish SmackDown as being on the same level as Raw from the get-go following the reintroduction of the Brand Extension, the blue brand needed as much star power as possible. And other than Brock Lesnar, there wasn't a bigger name they could have placed on the program than John Cena.

Cena started out in WWE on SmackDown in 2002, and in the three years he was a part of the program, he truly came into his own as a singles star. From his unforgettable outing against Kurt Angle in his debut match to toppling JBL for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 21, SmackDown presented him with opportunities he likely wouldn't have received on Raw.

Only after winning his premier WWE title was Cena sent packing to Raw as a surprise pick in the 2005 WWE Draft, and he has been a prominent staple on the flagship show ever since (let's pretend his meaningless move to SmackDown in 2011 doesn't count).

As he enters the twilight of his career, it is only appropriate he return to his old stomping grounds to rub elbows with the talent of tomorrow, including AJ Styles, Dean Ambrose, Baron Corbin and others.
