8 of the most unlikely champions in the history of the WWE

#4 Vince McMahon winning the WWE and ECW championships

Vince flaunting the WWF title

WWE is Vince’s company and he can sure as heck do whatever he feels like doing, including putting the WWE championship around his waist, which he actually did.

Vince won the title in a match against Triple H on SmackDown on September 16, 1999, with Shane McMahon officiating the match on the behest of Triple H. The backstory was that after Austin was written off television, The Game demanded his title match with Austin to be cancelled but Vince refused and asked him to choose his opponent after Triple H disrespected Vince’s wife.

The Game chose Vince himself and dissed him by questioning his manhood after Vince refused. He accepted the match and the was a bloody affair indeed. It saw Austin returning to stun The Game and eventually putting a corpse-like Vince over Triple H for the pin.

Vince went on to win the ECW championship too, by defeating Bobby Lashley at Backlash in 2007, with the help of Umaga and Shane McMahon.
