Rob Van Dam competing for the ECW brand. On May 29, Van Dam was selected by Paul Heyman to be drafted from RAW to WWE's new ECW brand.

At One Night Stand, Van Dam defeated Cena to win the WWE Championship, his first ever World Title. After two referees were knocked out, Edge appeared from under the ring and interfered to attack Cena, spearing him through a table.

On the following episode of RAW, Vince McMahon confirmed that the title change was official, due to the match being held under "extreme rules." For the past few weeks, Heyman had hinted that the WWE Championship would be "rechristened" the ECW World Heavyweight Championship when Van Dam won.

However, Van Dam decided to defend the WWE Championship separately and simultaneously, joking that "this one spins." Thus, Van Dam became the first wrestler in history to hold both the WWE Championship and the ECW World Heavyweight Championship, and the only one to hold them at the same time. It was historic and a moment that no one can ever forget.
