#3.) Triple H makes the shocking move to SmackDown

Triple H was originally drafted to SmackDown in 2004, but the story was that Eric Bischoff was so desperate to keep him that he traded 3 RAW superstars to SmackDown just to keep The Game. In 2008, however, Triple H, then the WWE Champion, was drafted over to SmackDown, where he had a short, but extremely impactful stint on the brand.

He took the WWE title with him and in that time had some great rivalries with the likes of Edge, Jeff Hardy and even crossing paths with The Undertaker. That run definitely helped elevate the likes of Hardy and Edge and though he returned to RAW for a WrestleMania 25 feud, his run on SmackDown is fondly looked upon, with many believing that he should have stayed longer.
