2011 WWE draft
The 2011 WWE draft was the eighth annual (ninth overall) and final draft held by WWE, which took place on April 25. With a core business of professional wrestling, the corporation held a draft to exchange personnel assigned to one of its two television programs (''Raw'' and ''SmackDown'') that are (in terms of storyline) independent brands that represent WWE. The draft aired live on the USA Network on ''Raw'' in the United States for two hours in Raleigh, North Carolina from the RBC Center. As a standard for previous drafts, most on-air personnel were eligible to be drafted. A continuation of the draft took place on WWE's official website at 12:00pm Eastern time on the following afternoon.〔
Matches determined the recipient of draft picks for the television portion of the draft while the continuation of the draft via the Internet was conducted at random. The draft's 30 selections featured 29 wrestlers being exchanged between WWE's two brands. SmackDown received 16 additional members to its roster while Raw received 13. For the first time in draft history, two of the draft picks consisted of the same wrestler—John Cena—being selected to SmackDown with the first pick and back to Raw with the last televised pick.
==Background==
The Brand Extension storyline was initiated in March 2002, in which WWE's ''Raw'' and ''SmackDown!'' television programs were made into brands (similar to conferences within a league) to which employees were assigned to; the ECW brand was additionally involved between 2006 and 2009. Annual drafts have followed since this occurrence, except for in 2003.〔 As with past drafts, the purpose of the 2011 WWE draft was to increase television ratings of WWE programming and refresh the rosters for each brand. The 2011 event was confirmed by the RBC Center in April 2011,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WWE presents WWE Monday Night Raw )〕 with WWE officially announcing it on the April 18th edition of ''Raw''. A USA Network executive had also confirmed the event to occur via a press release on the same day of the WWE announcement.
The 2011 WWE draft would mark the sixth time that only the Raw and SmackDown brands were involved; male and female wrestlers and other WWE personalities from these brands were eligible to be drafted. Unlike sports draft lotteries where players are signed to a team, WWE drafts feature on-air personnel being exchanged between brands. Like all other WWE programs, the draft was run by the WWE management backstage. Championships could be exchanged between brands if the champion was drafted, like with previous drafts; however, the WWE Divas Championship and WWE Tag Team Championship were accessible to both brands and thus had no role in the draft because of their inter-brand availability.
