Who do you think has had that? I would have to say Daivari is the perfect example of this. I remember when he debuted with Muhammad Hassan, he was on Raw, and then the two got drafted to Smackdown (Albeit the disastrous Smackdown run because of the timeliness of the London bombings and the fact that Hassan's character was changed, but that's beside the point). Daivari then came back to Raw as Kurt Angle's personal referee, then later on went back to Smackdown to be Khali's manager/sidekick. They then went to ECW. I could go on.
Are there other examples of consistent brand jumps like this?

Kane went from Raw to SmackDown in 2006 when he lost to Umaga (I think Kane and Ric Flair were the last two wrestlers to remain on their original brands going back to 2002). Then to ECW at WrestleMania XXIV, back to Raw in the 2008 Draft (making the ECW Championship the world title of the Raw brand for a week), again to SmackDown in the 2009 Draft, and back to Raw again either when he was the Tag Team Champions with Big Show or when he came back masked, though the draft rules were slightly relaxed by then. Phew!

We used to have a meme on hear about Big Show being Drafted to the other show every year. He had a pretty long run on Smackdown from late 2002 to mid-2005. If I recall, he was on Raw for a year until jumping to ECW. He was out for a while and I think he was back on Smackdown when he returned sometime in 2007 I believe, or was he on Raw?

It seems like Orton, Batista, and Benoit switched a lot.

Big Show's a good answer.
Started on Raw (2002) Traded to SD (Late-2002) Back to Raw (2005) Then to ECW (2006) Back to SD (2008) Then again to Raw (2009) Drafted to SD (2010) And in the final draft, back to Raw (2011)

I can't find the pics, but people used to posts the graphics from the Draft episodes of Raw where Big Show gets traded from brand to brand.

Even with the long run he had on Smackdown, I think Edge jumped around shows quite a bit, and for the strangest of reasons on some.

Kane was the first to come to mind, but I'm sure others beat him out.

Edge kind of just went to shows when he felt like it...
Was drafted by smackdown in 2002 Return in 2004 and was drafted to Raw Jumped to Smackdown after winning the WHC in 2007 Stayed there until he was drafted to Raw in 2010 Went to Smackdown in late 2010 for destroying the computer (I think)
He appeared on a lot of Raw's in 2008 and 2009, but he was still a member of Smackdown.

I remember that they would relax a bit on the brand split every year during WrestleMania Season.

It seems like Orton, Batista, and Benoit switched a lot. In 2007 Benoit went from Raw to ECW to Hell in the course of a month.

Matt Hardy was swapped around the shows a lot.

Matt Hardy was swapped around the shows a lot. I knew that I forgot about someone. Wasn't he drafted to Smackdown at the beginning of the draft? I believe he was there from 2002 to late-2003 and he had been on Raw from that point until he was released. He was then rehired and he was on Raw for a few months to feud with Edge. He was on Smackdown for a while after that, but he also jumped to Raw or ECW a few times (I wasn't really following during 2008-2009, so correct me if I am wrong).

Since we have Big Show nailed as 1, there's a couple more interesting tidbits.
Hardy changed a good bit. Smackdown to RAW, release, Raw to Smackdown to ECW to Smackdown to RAW and then back to Smackdown to end it.
Angle did quite a bit of moving in a short period. From Summer '05, he went Smackdown to RAW to Smackdown to ECW.
