10 shortest combined reigns as WWE Champion

#5 Vince McMahon - 6 days

Of course, the boss had to have a run with the strap

"No chance - that's what you've got". Some may say it's just a theme tune, but it can also be considered a harrowing reminder that Vince McMahon is still the man in charge of WWE and will be for a long time to come. He can put the title on whoever he sees fit and back in the late 90s, that honour fell to himself.

After pinning Triple H to capture the WWE Championship thanks to a great deal of assistance, the boss vacated the strap just six days later to the relief of many fans around the world.

As was the case with his ECW Championship tenure, a lot of people were unhappy with the decision which makes it a pretty smart move for Vince to vacate it so quickly.

We've seen the boss winning the title storyline get replicated in the last twelve months, with Triple H lifting the belt up high leading into WrestleMania 32. Who knows, perhaps we'll see it take place on a number of occasions down the years as we enter this fascinating new era.

Now to a reign that some people believe didn't even really exist.
