#4. WWE Commentator Corey Graves' first reign with the NXT Tag Team Championship

Current WWE fans know Corey Graves as an entertaining commentator. Graves recently won the 24/7 Championship for a fleeting moment before being overtaken by Byron Saxton, but it's not his only championship glory in WWE.

Graves was a rising star in NXT before injury ruined his in-ring career. His biggest achievement was winning the NXT Tag Team Championship with Neville. They remained champions for about three months before losing the title to The Ascension.

Graves suffered two concussions in late 2013 and early 2014, leading him to announce his retirement. He has solidified himself as a popular commentator, and his title reign has faded from public memory.


#3. Former WWE Superstar Jack Swagger's first reign with the World Heavyweight Championship

Jake Hager has rejuvenated himself as a member of the Inner Circle faction alongside the likes of Chris Jericho and Sammy Guevara. Before his AEW success, he spent more than a decade in WWE.

Swagger cashed in his Money in the Bank contract to defeat a weakened Chris Jericho to win the big gold belt. He did not achieve much acclaim as a champion and lost the title to Rey Mysterio. For the rest of his WWE career, he was a mid-card act.
