The Extreme Championship Wrestling World Heavyweight title, was another prestigious Championship, which Chris Benoit could not accomplish during his tenure in WWE. He got drafted to the ECW brand from SmackDown in June 2007. He defeated Elijah Burke, to become the number one contender for the ECW title.

At the Vengeance Pay-Per-View, he was supposed to compete and win the vacant ECW Championship against CM Punk. However, fate had other plans for him, as he did not turn up for the event, and was found dead in his apartment couple of days later.

He could have been an excellent ECW Champion. WWE fans were eager to see their beloved superstar, as the ECW Champion. However, things did not happen as it was planned, and Benoit could not win the title. If he would have won the ECW Championship, he could have been a Grand Slam Champion as well.
