#4 Kane
As successful as Kane was, it's incredible to know that he never got a great run with the WWE Championship. The Big Red Machine's first run with the big belt ended after a day. Kane defeated Stone Cold Steve Austin at King of the Ring 1998 in a First Blood match. However, he would lose it back to the Rattlesnake on the next episode of Raw is War.

It would take twelve years for the Devil's Favorite Demon to pick up another top title, capturing the World Heavyweight Championship at Money in the Bank 2010. Kane won the MITB briefcase that night, then cashed in on Rey Mysterio who had just defended the title against Jack Swagger. This run came at the time where Kane was looking for whoever assaulted The Undertaker.
Corey Graves deleted his Tweet! More details HERE.
Kane revealed that he found The Undertaker in a "vegetative state" over Memorial Day weekend. To be honest, The strangest part about that story to me is that a flame conjuring demon and an undead wizard were hanging out on Memorial Day. It wasn't a well-received story, as it felt like something that would've been done a decade before.
After stealing the World Heavyweight Championship from him, Kane then accused Rey Mysterio of putting his brother out of commission. However, Mysterio turned the accusations back at the champion, claiming he was the perpetrator. Eventually, the Deadman returned to reveal that yes, it was Kane, who had turned on The Undertaker multiple times in the past. What a twist, right?
Kane and the Deadman reignited their longstanding feud, which ended when Kane put his brother away in a buried alive match. The problem with that, though, was that Kane couldn't defeat his brother by himself, instead enlisting the Nexus to do his dirty work.
Kane would eventually lose the World Heavyweight Championship to Edge, ending his reign at 154 days.
Sadly, neither one of Kane's World Championship runs lived up to expectations. The Big Red Machine deserved better.
