5 most shocking moments in the history of the WWE Draft

#4 The Cerebral Assassin gets drafted to SmackDown

Triple H was not happy that he was drafted to SmackDown.

It was clear to anyone watching the 2004 edition of the WWE Draft that the two general managers, Eric Bischoff and Paul Heyman weren’t and would not be getting along. They spent the whole night trying to one-up each other.

Then, John Cena came out and made a draft pick for an unhappy Paul Heyman who tried to get Cena’s pick to not count, but Bischoff would have none of it. However, to Bischoff’s horror and indignation, Cena’s pick turned out to be Triple H, the biggest star in WWE at the time.

As soon as the announcement was made, Triple H was shown backstage shocked and horrified.

Sadly, Triple H never made his way to SmackDown as he was traded back to Raw on the same night for The Dudley Boyz and Booker T.
