#6 Seth Rollins becomes the first-ever three-time double Champion

There have been several wrestlers in the history of WWE who held two titles at the same time. None of them have done what Seth Rollins has managed to do though. The Beastslayer is the first WWE Superstar in history who became a three-time double Champion.

At SummerSlam 2015, Rollins defeated John Cena in a Winner Take All match, thus bagging both the WWE World title and the US title. Last year, he held the Intercontinental title as well as the Tag Team title alongside Dean Ambrose. Rollins won the Universal title from Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam 2019, and won the RAW Tag Team titles with Braun Strowman soon after.

At Elimination Chamber 2019, Sasha Banks and Bayley became the first-ever Women's Tag Team Champions. The duo lost the titles to The IIconics at WrestleMania 35 in a Fatal Four-Way match, ending the reign at 49 days.

The IIconics lasted 120 days as Champions before losing the belts to Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross in a Fatal Four-Way Elimination match on RAW.

#4 Pat Patterson becomes the oldest Champion in WWE

The Fabulous Moolah became the oldest Champion in WWE when she won a title in 1999, at the age of 76. During the RAW Reunion episode back in July, WWE Hall of Famer Patt Patterson defeated Drake Maverick to win the 24/7 title and thus broke Moolah's 20-year record.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
