He made his return and defeated Triple H to become the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. CJSellers went on to defeat The Undertaker and become the new World Heavyweight Champion. The title was then renamed to simply just the WWE Championship. CJSellers turned heel weeks later after he got himself disqualified to retain his WWE Championship. CJSellers went on for the next year in a half as a heel. Eventually CJSellers would lose his WWE Championship after being defeated by John Cena. CJSellers held the title for 398 days.
Feud with John Cena, departure from WWE (2004-2012)[]

CJSellers defeated John Cena on RAW, and his reign lasted 3 months until John Cena won the title back at Survivor Series. John Cena then lost the title back to CJSellers 2 weeks later. This continued on for awhile until CJSellers and John Cena's feud came to an "end" during a "final match" between the two for the WWE Championship in a Steel Cage match at the annual No Way Out PPV which CJSellers won, then vacated the championship the next night on RAW. He claimed that being champion wasn't gonna cut it. He then left the championship in the ring and walked out. He went on to take another break from the WWE for a few months, then he made his return and would face random opponents upon his return.
His "final match" in the WWE was against SmackDown's Kurt Angle, which CJSellers won.
CJSellers then took a break from the WWE. After not being seen on WWE TV in over 5 years, but still being under contract, CJSellers announced that he was quitting the WWE. He cited that due to him not even being on TV in 5 years, he had no use for the WWE anymore. This also made CJSellers the only contracted superstar to never appear for 5+ years and still be paid.
CJSellers was released from his WWE contract on April 14, 2012..
Wrestling Franchise Federation (2002-Present)[]
In the Summer of 2002, CJSellers, while he was still contracted with the WWE, opened up his own wrestling company.

The two first squared off on an episode of RAW where CJSellers defeated Viper to become the new #1 Contender. The next following weeks, Viper would randomly sneak attack CJSellers, causing the first PPV bout for the two, where CJSellers won by DQ.
WFF Champion[]

CJSellers after winning the ECW Championship at the WFF Royal Rumble in 2008.
In one of CJSellers' rare moments, he turned heel at the 2008 Royal Rumble and competed in what was originally a Triple Threat match between then-World Heavyweight Champion Shawn Michaels, then-WFF Champion Brett Viper and then-ECW Champion Tommy Dreamer; CJSellers was entered into the match by Vince McMahon, where all 3 championships were on the line. CJSellers went to become the first person in the WFF to win all 3 major championships after pinning Shawn Michaels. The next night on RAW, CJSellers forfeited both the World Heavyweight Championship and ECW Championship, and remained the WFF Champion. CJSellers would turn face after Brett Viper demanded his rematch, which CJSellers won. Viper was then drafted to SmackDown!, where he captured the World Heavyweight Championship from former champion, Sean, who just had won the title earlier in the night in a 20-man World Heavyweight Championship Battle Royal.
Through the next following months, CJSellers dominated as champion, until John Cena showed up during one of CJSellers' matches. John Cena distracted CJSellers, causing CJSellers to lose his title to Triple H. It was also during this time that CJSellers began to show signs of another heel turn.
Feud with John Cena[]
John Cena showed up on RAW, announcing that he was drafted from SmackDown! to RAW. In a shoot promo on RAW, John Cena would go on to reveal that the issues between him and CJSellers were real. He stated that while they were both feuding in WWE, there a lot of things that happened behind the scenes that people never saw. He stated that CJSellers was the type of guy that never wanted to let another superstar go over on him. He would further say that CJSellers demanded that the feud between the two be put to rest, as CJSellers never wanted Cena to go over on him.
CJSellers and John Cena would face off in different "pick your poison" matches, which meant that CJSellers could pick Cena's opponent, and Cena could pick CJSellers' opponent. John Cena became the #1 Contender for the WFF Championship when he defeated Edge, Shawn Michaels and Randy Orton in a 4 Way Dance match. It was also later the same night that CJSellers had his rematch against then-champion Triple H, in which saw CJSellers regain his title.
John Cena defeated CJSellers at SummerSlam to become the new WFF Champion.
The next few weeks, CJSellers would try and get the championship back, but failed many times. He would then disappear from WFF TV for awhile, until it was revealed he had suffered an injury during a House Show match against John Cena after he botched a fisherman suplex, causing CJSellers to land awkwardly. CJSellers ended up tearing his shoulder into 3 different places, which caused CJSellers to miss 6 months.
CJSellers returned 6 months later and demanded a match against John Cena for the WFF Championship. CJSellers lost the match via DQ when the referee couldn't get CJSellers to break the 5 count. This ended the feud between John Cena and CJSellers.
He would debut a new look on an episode of RAW, shaving, growing out a beard and began wearing a new attire. Even though CJSellers would try and act like a fan favorite, his actions during his matches didn't show it. He would solidify his heel turn at the WFF One Year Anniversary special when Shannon Silveria returned, and the two ended up forming a new team, called: Straight Edge Society. The team had a short run, but they managed to capture the WFF World Tag Team Championship on a few different occasions. A few weeks later after this, the Wrestling Franchise Federation ended up closing down.

Brandon stated that things "...behind the scenes were way worse than people could ever imagine." He tried comparing TNAwrestling's bad management to the WFF, stating that "...he didn't know which was one had the worst management because both were so bad."

The following week on RAW, Cena again challenged CJSellers, but, RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff, announced a tag team match between John Cena and CJSellers against Brett Viper and Triple H. During the match, John Cena turned on CJSellers and hit him with an Attitude Adjustment, then walked out on the match, allowing Triple H to score the win.

On the July 8th edition of RAW, RAW GM Eric Bischoff revealed that considering he felt Jason Matthews, who was defeated by Marcus Jones for a spot in the Money in the Bank Ladder match, was cheated out of showing his true potential, so therefore he added Jason Matthews in the match anyways, revealing the then-8-man match to be a now-9-man Ladder match along with RVD, Christian and Marcus Jones, who won their qualifying matches earlier in the show.
RAW GM Eric Bischoff booked a 6-man tag team match main event, which saw John Cena, CJSellers and Goldberg defeat the team of CM Punk, Brett Viper and Sean.

After a few minutes, WFF Champion Shannon Silveria came out and did a shoot promo on CJSellers and the entire WFF, claiming that the recent problems in the WFF was due to the lack of caring in the management department, not the superstars or divas. He said he wasn't even featured on the Money in the Bank pay-per-view event because management doesn't care about their talent. He said as WFF Champion, he deserved to have at least a spot on the card, if anything, seeing as he was the "man" in the WFF, carrying the WFF's top prize, the WFF Championship. He laid the WFF title on the ground and said if the WFF doesn't care, why should he, and he would walk out.
On the August 5th edition of a pre-taped RAW, WFF Chairman CJSellers addressed Shannon Silveria's leaving and also announced the WFF Championship would be vacated.
