5 Superstars who were double champions in WWE

There can be few things better than capturing a championship as a part of the WWE roster.

Winning a title in WWE cements your legacy forever. In the years and decades to come, your name will live forever as part of an elite list of few Superstars who were able to capture gold.

There's something all-encompassing about championship gold, as every man and woman on the roster, no matter how big or small, no matter how featured or unfeatured, wants to be champion.

Several titles in WWE have decades of history, including the WWE Championship, which this year turned 55.

Some titles, are relatively new, most notably the NXT United Kingdom Championships, which are still in their infancy.

But for some elite Superstars, they weren't satisfied with holding one title at once, instead capturing multiple titles at the same time.

Here are five Superstars who were double champions in the WWE.

#5 The Miz

The Miz held 3 title belts when he entered at WrestleMania 26.

It may have been a while since the WWE's resident A-Lister last held championship gold, but in 2010, The Miz was flush with titles.

Winning the United States Championship in late 2009 only helped inflate the Miz's ego, as he berated the fans who had told him he should quit.

In March 2010 though, the Marine star's head would grow even more, when he teamed with the Big Show, defeating DX to win the Unified Tag Team Championships.

Things would eventually come crashing down for The Miz though, thanks exclusively to the Hart Dynasty, as Tyson Kidd and DH Smith would win the tag titles, and shockingly, Bret Hart would win the United States title.

Despite these setbacks, The Miz moved on to bigger things, winning RAW's Money in the Bank contract, and ending 2010 as WWE Champion.

#2 The Ultimate Warrior

Warrior sends Hogan flying, on route to becoming WWF Champion.

One of the WWE's most controversial stars, it's hard to deny just how popular the Ultimate Warrior was during the Hulkamania era.

With his intense ferocity and face paint, Warrior crushed everyone in his way, including Rick Rude at Summerslam 1989, to win the Intercontinental Championship.

After squaring off with WWF Champion Hulk Hogan during the 1990 Rumble, it was clear that the fans wanted to see the two face off, which they did at WrestleMania 6, with both titles being on the line.

In front of a jam-packed SkyDome in Toronto, it was the Warrior who reigned supreme, becoming the first man to hold the WWF and Intercontinental Championships simultaneously.

This match, and this show, had ramifications decades later though, as several major WWE Superstars have said they attended, including Edge, Christian, Lance Storm and Renee Young.

#3 Montel Vontavious Porter

MVP and Hardy struggled to get along.

When Montel Vontavious Porter joined the WWE in 2006, the high-paid Superstar was quick to impress.

Appearing in major feuds against the likes of Kane and the Undertaker, MVP won his first United States Championship at Judgement Day 2007.

The only problem for the self-proclaimed Baller, was that Matt Hardy was hot on his tail, itching to take the Star-Spangled strap away from him.

After telling SmackDown GM Teddy Long he could win the tag titles with anyone, coincidence put Hardy and Porter together, with the pair being impressive, though uncohesive team.

Winning the titles in late August, the pair would hold onto them until November, when they lost to John Morrison and The Miz, with MVP attacking Hardy after their rematch.

Hardy would eventually return however, and took the US Title from his former partner at Backlash 2008.

#2 Rob Van Dam

RVD holds the gold.

For years, Jim Ross would regard Rob Van Dam as arguably the greatest Superstar to never be World Champion, and whilst this was high praise from the legendary commentator, it was something Van Dam wanted to change.

At WrestleMania 22 though, RVD started his journey to the WWE Championship, when he won the Money In the Bank ladder match, and announced he would be cashing in on John Cena at ECW: One Night Stand.

Threatening to have the title rechristened the ECW Championship if he won, RVD bested the champ, who received a truly hated reaction by the faithful ECW crowd.

Rather than re-name the title though, Van Dam kept it, and was awarded the original ECW title by Paul Heyman on the pilot of the brand.

His reign with both titles may not have been long, but Van Dam proved for those weeks that he was the whole... damn... show.

#1 Stone Cold Steve Austin

Austin, as well as the Game, became a double champion at Backlash 2001.

With his lone-wolf attitude and infamous 'Don't trust anybody' moniker, you wouldn't be judged for assuming that Stone Cold Steve Austin wasn't in the WWF to make friends.

But in 2001, the Rattlesnake made a very special friend, when he sided with longtime foe Vince McMahon, who helped Austin win the WWF Championship at WrestleMania X-Seven.

Needing some backup, Austin quickly aligned himself with Triple H, and as two of the most dominant stars of the time, christened themselves the 'Two Man Power Trip'.

Together, Austin and the Game were unstoppable, winning the WWF Tag Team Titles from the Brothers of Destruction at Backlash 2001, in a match that was also for Austin's WWF Title, and Triple H's Intercontinental Title.

It would have to take Triple H's quad tear later that year to separate the two.
