WWE Draft

WWE Draft

The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Draft, (formerly known as the "WWE Draft Lottery") is a process used by said professional wrestling promotion to provide new brand competition and to refreshen its rosters. The Draft was first used during the brand extension of 2002, though it was officially incepted and used in 2004. Since the inception of the process, it has been referred to as the "Draft Lottery" (2004-2005) and the "Draft" (2007–present).

History

Impact on championships

Whether a champion keeps their championship after being drafted is unpredictable:
* During the 2005 Draft, the WWE Champion John Cena was drafted from SmackDown! to Raw and kept his championship. General Manager Theodore Long announced that a new SmackDown! Championship was to be created but the idea was abandoned when the World Heavyweight Champion Batista was drafted to SmackDown! from Raw, bringing the title with him.
* During the 2007 Draft, the ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley was stripped of the title after being drafted to Raw.
* During the 2008 Draft, Matt Hardy was drafted to ECW with his WWE United States Championship, Triple H was drafted to Smackdown with his WWE Championship, and Kane was drafted to Raw with his ECW Championship.
