5 Times WWE let their Superstars compete for other companies whilst under contract

#2. WWF's ECW star topples WCW's ECW World Champion

Tazz as ECW Champion on WWF Monday Night RAW.

As part of ECW, Tazz was an absolute killer. So when the Human Suplex Machine made his debut in the WWF in early 2000, fans had high hopes. After a dominating debut inside MSG at the Royal Rumble against Kurt Angle, Tazz's career in WWE would never reach much higher, and later that same year, appeared briefly back in the extreme promotion.

When ECW World Champion Mike Awesome jumped ship to WCW, the Georgia promotion didn't know whether the title could be shown on screen, so an amicable decision was made. The decision, saw WWF's Tazz return to ECW, winning the title from WCW's Awesome in one of the most bizarre title changes in history. Though the Suplex Machine's reign with the gold wouldn't be long, his shocking appearance and win has remained lodged in the mind of fans.
