WWE Draft

The World Wrestling Enterprise (WWE) Draft is a process used by WWE 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 WWE Draft Lottery. Since the inception of the process, it has been referred to as the Draft Lottery (2004-2006) and the Draft with the wrestlers being placed in their brand's respective Draft Rooms (2007–present).

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 while on Smackdown!, World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho was then drafted to Smackdown!, bringing the title with him. During the 2008 Draft, the Kings of Wrestling along with their manager Paul Heyman were drafted to Raw while still being WWE Smackdown! World Tag Team Champions, as the championships are already named after their former brand, they were forced to relinquish, therefore vacating the belts that night.
