10 most unexpected Number 1 Contenders for the WWE Championship

#3 Vince McMahon

Vince was never shy about getting into the thick of the action

While Vince McMahon hasn’t been afraid to get his hands dirty by becoming an active part of WWE storylines, he hasn’t been afraid to push himself to the top, either. Vinny Mac has been Number 1 Contender multiple times over the years.

He has won the WWE Championship, the ECW Championship, as well the 1999 Royal Rumble. Except for his run that destroyed all credibility that the ECW belt had, Vince was always quick to move the title onto full-time wrestlers.
