WWE Championship
After the WWE Brand Extension, WWE started having drafts each year, where some wrestlers change brands. After three years on the SmackDown brand, the WWE Championship switched brands during the 2005 draft, when the WWE Champion John Cena was sent to Raw while the World Heavyweight Champion Batista was sent to SmackDown. On June 11, 2006, Rob Van Dam used his Money in the Bank contract at ECW One Night Stand for a WWE Championship match against Cena. Van Dam beat Cena to win the WWE Championship, moving the title to the ECW brand, a brand WWE created after buying the Extreme Championship Wrestling promotion. On July 3, Edge beat Cena and Van Dam in a Triple Threat Match to win the WWE Championship and with Edge on the Raw brand at the time, Edge brought the title back to Raw. After the 2008 WWE Draft, the WWE Champion Triple H was drafted to SmackDown, moving the WWE Championship to the SmackDown brand. The following year, the title returned to Raw after Triple H was drafted back to Raw during the 2009 WWE Draft, and the championship stayed there. When SmackDown's Batista won the title from Raw's John Cena at Elimination Chamber, it still stayed on Raw because Batista was sent there.
