Cody Rhodes became the latest Double Champion in Pro Wrestling

#4 Bobby Lashley

Much like Gail Kim, former WWE United States Champion Bobby Lashley also found a vast amount of success during his time with Impact Wrestling and during his time with the promotion, the MMA veteran was not only a Double Champion but eventually became a Triple Champion.

Currently, Lashley might be under WWE contract but his first run with the promotion came to a disappointing end in 2008. Having first signed with Impact in 2008, it wasn't until six years later when Lashley finally started to find his rhythm in the Impact Zone as he won his third Impact World Title by beating Drew Galloway in dominating manner. Within no short time, Lashley captured the X-Division Championship by beating Eddie Edwards and eventually went on to win another Title vs Title match by defeating James Storm, this time to capture the TNA King of the Mountain Championship, making Lashley a Triple Champion in Impact.
