10 Most Shocking WWE Draft Moments
8. Raw Gains An Edge
The first ever Draft Lottery in 2004 was high on shocks, as Eric Bischoff and Paul Heyman traded barbs over show-specific raffle tumblers whilst the company dished out several major roster adjustments over a single two hour edition of Monday Night Raw.
The announcement of Edge's name as a newly-minted Raw superstar after over a year on the shelf with a neck injury drew a thunderous response from the live crowd in attendance, but that paled in comparison to the explosion his actual return generated just minutes later when he speared his new boss Eric Bischoff to mark his return.
Looking as physically impressive as he'd ever been for the entirety of his WWE tenure, it appeared to earmark the Canadian for a stint as a headline act, but the love from the crowd barely lasted up to his pay-per-view return at April's Backlash event.
Prone to short-term injuries that hamstrung his early progress on the red brand, the comeback stalled following his electric return.
Edge was booed vociferously by his hometown fans when Summerslam hit Toronto later that year, and by November he was a fully fledged heel.
