text: 'Moppy' and departure (2001–2002) After a match on the May 17, 2001 episode of Jakked, in which he legitimately attacked jobber Mike Bell, Saturn immediately underwent a significant gimmick change and, possibly as punishment for his actions, was involved in storylines about his becoming infatuated with a mop. After receiving head trauma in matches against The Acolytes Protection Agency (APA) and Raven, Saturn began acting eccentrically and speaking nonsensically, allegedly as the result of a concussion. Saturn began uttering the phrase "you're welcome" at inopportune intervals, and then fell in love with Moppy, an inanimate mop which he believed was alive, similar to Wilson the volleyball in the 2000 film Cast Away. This gimmick went over well with the fans, leading to a face turn. Terri Runnels told Saturn to choose between Moppy and her, and was infuriated when Saturn chose the mop. She left Saturn for Raven, who helped her enact vengeance on Saturn by stealing Moppy and feeding her into a woodchipper. Saturn in turn gained a measure of revenge when he defeated Raven at Unforgiven on September 23. After this, Saturn dropped the gimmick, but still remained a face, casually wrestling in tag matches at Sunday Night Heat.
  In March 2002 the WWF initiated its brand extension in which Raw and SmackDown! had their own rosters of WWF wrestlers. During the draft, Saturn was SmackDown!'s 29th pick, the 58th pick overall and the final pick of the entire draft. Saturn's last WWF match was tag match with Hugh Morrus defeating Mr. Perfect and Shawn Stasiak on March 28 at a house show. Then just a month later Saturn reinjured his ACL, sidelining him for seven months, before being released by the company in November 2002.
