5 Fathers and sons who won the same championship in WWE

#2 "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig and Curtis Axel - WWE Intercontinental Championship

Former WWE Superstar Curtis Axel is a third-generation wrestler who is the son of Curt Hennig and grandson of Larry “The Axe” Hennig. Axel and his father Mr. Perfect are the only father-son duo to win the prestigious Intercontinental Championship.

Axel held it once while his dad had two reigns with the title. Curtis Axel captured the gold not long after he was re-introduced under that moniker. WWE tried to make him a big star by pairing him with Paul Heyman and giving him a win over Triple H on RAW.

Axel, however, was unable to get over with the crowd due to his lack of charisma and mic skills. He was released from the company last year due to budget cuts.

#1 Rocky Johnson and The Rock - World Tag Team Championship

While The Rock has held the World Tag Team Championship more times than his WWE Hall of Fame father Rocky Johnson, The Soul Man's title win was far more historic.

In 1983, Johnson and his partner Tony Atlas defeated The Wild Samoans to become the first black tandem to win the titles. The Rock made history of his own, as he's recognized by WWE as the first African American WWE World Champion.

Dwayne Johnson is the biggest name in the entertainment industry right now. Although The Great One isn't active in the ring anymore, fans have been clamoring to see him take on his cousin Roman Reigns.
