WWE's 15 Superstar Trade Details


Before selling WWE Raw back to Mr. McMahon at double the original buy price, Donald Trump made sure to orchestrate a major superstar trade between the three shows. That's right ECW, Raw and Smackdown each acquired 5 new superstars just months after the 2009 WWE Draft. Here's the breakdown of who went where:

Moving to the Raw roster:
Gail Kim
Alicia Fox
Jack Swagger
Evan Bourne
Mark Henry

Moving to the SmackDown roster:
Matt Hardy
Finlay
The Hart Dynasty - David Hart Smith, Tyson Kidd & Natalya

Moving to the ECW roster:
Shelton Benjamin
Goldust
William Regal
Brie & Nikki Bella

It's interesting to see just who went where. As we already know Raw picked up some major talent from the ECW in Henry, Swagger and Bourne, and as you see above they added 2 Smackdown divas, Gail Kim and Alicia Fox as eye candy. Matt Hardy wasn't quite cutting it on Raw, so a move back to Smackdown where his brother wrestles makes some sense. The Hart Dynasty also needed to be showcased in the tag division and quite possibly they'll make a run at the unified titles now.

The moves of William Regal, Goldust and the Bellas to ECW definitely will be interesting as well. Shelton Benjamin's been there before, but maybe this time he'll capture the ECW title. William Regal could be a contender as well, while Goldust leaves behind Hornswoggle at Raw.
