10 Most Shocking WWE Draft Moments
7. Twice As Nice
In the final WWE Draft of the original brand extension before the lines between shows were blurred for good later that year, John Cena started the night making a blockbuster move to Smackdown then ended the evening back on the flagship show.
The well-worn format saw superstars facing off in inter-brand matches that would determine which show would gain the next 'pick' from the random TitanTron superstar selector.
Cena's name popping up after Kofi Kingston and The Big Show won a battle royal for the blue brand saw the entire Smackdown roster mocking their Raw counterparts for the huge acquisition, but (as usual), the Raw talent would get the last laugh when 'Big Match John' returned home at the conclusion of the broadcast.
Ironically, it was Cena's biggest foes that triggered the trade. The Miz, CM Punk and Alberto Del Rio were victorious over Cena and his new compatriots Christian and Mark Henry in a Raw vs Smackdown six-man main event, with then-WWE Champion The Miz particularly pleased to be seeing the back of his most threatening challenger.
Cena's return triggered a beatdown on the Raw heels from 'The Champ', and he'd reclaim the WWE Title just days later at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view.
