10 notable WWE superstars who held two championships at the same time

#8. Rob Van Dam- WWE and ECW Championship

The year 2006 turned out to be one of the most promising years in Rob Van Dam's decorated Pro Wrestling career, given the fact that RVD had initially captured both the WWE Intercontinental Championship and the Money in the Bank contract briefcase at Backlash '06.

Despite dropping the IC Title back to Shelton Benjamin within a few short weeks, RVD then took full advantage of his MITB Contract and cashed it in at ECW: One Night Stand and defeated WWE poster boy John Cena to win the WWE Championship for the very first time in his career.

Following his win over Cena at the hostile Hammerstein Ballroom, RVD was eventually awarded the prestigious ECW Championship by promotion originator Paul Heyman, thus making Van Dam the first ever superstar in history to hold both the WWE and the ECW Championship at the same time.
