2009 WWE Draft
The 2009 WWE Draft took place April 13, 2009 at the Phillips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.[1] It was the sixth yearly draft and the seventh overall.
The WWE draft is run by World Wrestling Entertainment. It is a way to add to their rosters after separating into two separate rosters (Raw and SmackDown!) in 2002. This is known as the WWE Brand Extension.
ECW was added as WWE's third brand in 2006. Under the brand extension, superstars are brand exclusive. This means they belong to and perform on brand. A brand uses its brand's show to perform. For example, SmackDown Superstars perform on SmackDown.
