10 Short (But Still Great) Wrestling Title Reigns

[@daltonpinell6251]

Andre's title reign certainly gives a new meaning to the term "sell job"

[@darylcastillo1439]

Becky Lynch's 42-day run as NXT Women's champion last year deserves to be on this list. Becky defended it regularly in some very good matches, made Tiffany Stratton one to look out for, and put over Lyra Valkyria huge when she lost the title.

[@rjgoodman4056]

Totally agree. Becky vs Lyra was my favorite women's match of 2023. It was the second most emotional title change of the year, right behing Kevin and Sami beating the Usos.

[@str6014]

Beckys 2nd SD Title reign could also have been on here held it from Hell In A Cell to TLC and it was the most important Belt in the company at the time for that while.

[@damaged2810]

Yall are do easily entertained.

[@spartanisland9977]

Mox’s interim run is criminally underrated, really picked up the ball and ran with it in a time when they needed stability. Picked up the slack again when Punk dropped the ball at all out. Mox deserves a lot more praise especially in that time

[@MarkieDood]

100%. It's with very good reason that Mox is the option Tony Khan defaults to whenever plan-A falls apart.

[@Surv1vor1993]

I will die on the hill that Seth Rollins’ Monday Night Rollins run during 2018 was the best work of his career

[@yallmight5752]

Rey Mysterio's single WWE title reign still upsets me to this day

[@Themarcoalmonte]

I was a big Cena fan during his Super Cena phase, and i so was mad as hell when Rey won and Cena took the champion immediately. Like they should’ve at least gave Rey his rematch cuz he fought twice that night 😭

[@jigsaw44]

​@@ThemarcoalmonteRey did get his rematch, losing to Del Rio

[@Brown87]

He was pish, unconvincing and shouldn't have had the title to begin with 🙄

[@yoholmes273]

Yet Booker never ever had 1 day

[@VinnyHaw]

Aye I see myself at 4:23 lol. That was such an awesome event. It was the first NXT show that I had gone to.

[@sinjin4563]

3:17 correction HBK had tag team gold 10 years earlier with Stone Cold in 97 and 12 years earlier too with Diesel in 95. The title 13 years before was just the first in 94 with Diesel.

[@Flannagan92]

I also won the Eurocontinental Championship in a Myspace E-Fed in 2006

[@dylanogg347]

There were four Eurocontinental Champions. Even if it was brief, RVD held the European and Intercontinental Championships at the same time.

[@claymathewselevator8121]

I even enjoyed Seth Rollins vs Mojo Rawley on Raw during that reign

[@jeremywilliams5141]

1. Edge (WWE Championship 21 days) 2. Becky Lynch (NXT Women's Championship 42 days) 3. Kairi Sane (NXT Women's Championship 71 days)

[@zachstolpa6521]

Surprised mankind didn’t make the list

[@calebmcglone358]

Seth Rollins vs Miz at Backlash 2018 is a literal hidden gem. A fantastic match, better than any on that card and yet it was the opener.

[@Extinguisher10]

I don't know if Benoit's Intercontinental Title reign is on the list but it should be. He defended that title on Raw, Smackdown, and PPV. He probably had more defenses in those 2 months than Roman has in the past 3 years.

[@aaronstavern]

I love this channel, that is all

[@AnnaJaneMTG]

Damn I'd swear the Two Man Power Trip would be on here

[@MichaelSpikes-pv6kl]

Excellent video

[@ATrainerNamedDoodles]

I know that it wouldn't work kayfabe wise, but I never understood why DiBiase didn't just pay Andre to lay down in a figure poke of doom situation.

[@michaelpresley1337]

Technically RVD is also a eurocontinental champion. He won it from jeff Hardy in a ladder match

[@Weedlet_Mcweenie]

I think it would be awesome if Cena came back and won the intercontinental title and did the open challenge again to make stars then drop it to someone who is next in line

[@JLWprime10]

Agreed

[@chillguli1963]

Surprised Edge’s first title run didn’t make the list

[@L4-295]

6:19 forget about dlo brown, who is that with him?? 👀

[@mlm2284]

Euro-continental that’s so cool 😎

[@SirZapdos]

I quite enjoyed Rey and Eddie’s two-month run as WWE tag champs.

[@jerranspearman3369]

good video

[@Clarkarias]

Mick Foley January 1999. Or Rock for that matter.

[@fromomelastocarcosa3575]

They really REALLY should have allowed the selling of the belt to DiBiase stick. Would have given so much heat to the feud with Savage and made Mania 4 much better. Vince just so scared in that era of having the title on a heel. Tunney could have announced they brought in a new rule prohibiting the sale of the belt, but that since it couldn't be applied retroactively, DiBiase was the champ. Ted deserved it and it would have made Macho Man's win way better.

[@night6724]

You internet nerds really just love saying every Tom dick and Harry should’ve been world champion don’t you?

[@danielhess1082]

Feel like Rock's 7th WWE title reign (aka the Undisputed Champion reign) deserves an honorable mention since it set up Summerslam 2002, and subsequently the crowning of Brock Lesnar

[@flippineck2825]

Love an unexpected simpsons reference 😂

[@ludontspeak1102]

The 6 man hell in a cell was legendary

[@randomthoughts9564]

Michael’s held the belt with Steve Austin in 97’ right?

[@noobsaibot8844]

Yup. Won from Owen Hart and the British Bulldog on an episode of RAW.

[@EVERYGOODNAMEISTAKEN]

Dean Ambrose's WWE championship. Those 84 days were the best days of the modern era.

[@rjgoodman4056]

Ambrose is overrated. Worst menber of the shield.

[@JohnDoe0801]

Dean ambrosia cream

[@JohnDoe0801]

All the members of the shield were and still are overrated. Boring as fuck wrestlers

[@kasunmahesh1862]

Seth's 72 Day Intercontinental Championship Run is such an underrated one. In 2018, there wasn't that much things to enjoy. People hated Roman vs Brock and Asuka losing to Charlotte and Shinsuke losing to AJ made fans more disappointed but the only thing that kept them refresh through out the period between Wrestlemania and Summerslam was Rollins's Intercontinental Championship Run. He had great matches and winning it in the opener of Wrestlemania and he won it back in the opener of Summerslam2018 from Dolph. The series of matches with Dolph brought the best out of both. The Iron Man Match was phenomenal. 🖤😍 Rollins is most valuable male worker they have since like 2014 to this day.

[@Unclejack328]

2018 was Rollins at his best, he should’ve beat Lesnar at SummerSlam that year.

[@joshthemediocre7824]

Andre would have never needed a belt, his size served the same purpose as a belt, people wanted to see him.

[@pepito2847]

I find it crazy and infuriating how Sami Zayn and Johnny Gargano, arguably the two greatest babyfaces in NXT history, had the shortest NXT title reigns

[@merlinswolf1]

Zach Ryder intercontinental title 23 hours?

[@DaimyoShi]

I watched Andre win that belt on TV,

[@jamalvargas6146]

[@multiyapples]

Very good list.

[@claybfx]

I swear, if number 1 isn’t THE Brian Kendrick…

[@James.chalmers]

Andre should have kept the belt for much longer…

Randy Orton's World Heavyweight Championship reign as the youngest ever to do it was very short lived too.

[@stanleylee3329]

Don’t let WWE see this, they’re convinced burying the entire roster for 6 champions is worth it because everybody hates title changes-that’s why the attitude era was so unpopular

[@wh0r3chatas]

Can I just say… John Cena is the worst Tag Team Champion in WWE history.

[@jacenbane]

Hogan turns heel to form the NWO Austin turns heel to join McMahon One helped to start off possibly the hottest period in professional wrestling while the other helped to end the same said period of popularity... Weird 🤷‍♂️

[@ShinRyojin]

I never realized that til now. The irony lol

[@night6724]

Austin turning heel didn’t end the attitude era. Russo leaving did and with the downfall of WCW it also meant a cooldown was inevitable Despite this AE fanboys like to pretend the ruthless aggression era didn’t consistently draw a 3

[@jacenbane]

@@night6724 I'm sorry, what's an... AE fanboy? Austin joining McMahon literally happened within a month of WCW folding... So yeah, Austin joining McMahon HELPED (never said it was the sole cause) of the cool down from the hottest period in professional wrestling just as Hogan joining the NWO HELPED to start off the hottest period in professional wrestling... The statement still stands 🤷‍♂️

[@night6724]

@@jacenbane I said the cool down happened after Russo left. And by and larger, yes WCW going down caused the cool down. It was inevitable. If anything austin turning heel would’ve kept people locked in since he was never really a heel. The problem is he and triple H got injured early on their two man power trip run

[@flippineck2825]

Lita's 39 day womens title run in 2000. Beat Steph in the first womens main event (despite what wwe claims because they get a wide on over trish) Hardcore match taking that hair dryer to the head from jackie is enough to just make it great 😂

Why are we acting like Roman Reigns hasn't had good to Great matches every single time he's defended his belt. With the exception of his matches against Brock Lesnar and Goldberg I can't think of a single title defense he's had that wasn't a great match outside of the bloodline interference finishes

[@rmitton2008]

How can you make the list without including mankind’s first wwe championship reign. It basically was the start of wwe winning the Monday Night wars

Inclusion of Michaels Cena is absolute bobbins Absolute worst example of realising they didn't have any feud at all for the main event so bunged tag titles on them randomly to pretend there was an angle. Silly to have that over Lynch NXT run, Takers two defeats of Hogan a decade apart, or one of the classic Edge and Christian Conquistadors run..

Yeah that taker undisputed title run gave us the awesome ladder match on raw and the great triple threat on vengenace 🔥
