#5 Drafted to Raw and the polarisation of the fans

Enter
Cena and Y2J

John Cena was the very first draftee in the very first WWE draft lottery. After he made the transition to Raw, Eric Bischoff sought to take the belt off of him in an angle that sought to mirror the success of Stone Cold Steve Austin's early face run.

Unfortunately, even though Cena was the babyface and Jericho played the role of the heel, a very vocal section of the crowd booed Cena and cheered for Jericho. This was the start of John's polarizing fan base and the birth of "Let's go Cena/Cena sucks" chants.
