During the first brand extension introduced in 2002, only those championships exclusive to Raw were seen on ''Raw''. On the special live August 30, 2011, episode of ''Raw'', it was announced that wrestlers from the Raw brand could now appear every week on ''SmackDown''. This mirrored the proclamation made on ''Raw'' the previous day that SmackDown brand wrestlers could now appear every week on ''Raw''. These moves made both programs full-roster "supershows", effectively ending the brand extension.

On July 19, 2016, the brand extension was brought back and for the first time ever, the draft was held on ''SmackDown''. With the second brand extension, the champions exclusive to ''Raw'' are listed below:
