5 WWE superstars who won a championship in their first match

#2 Gail Kim (WWE Women's Championship)

Gail Kim wrestled for WWE in two separate stints, both of which were marred by controversy and dissatisfaction. She debuted on June 30, 2003, winning a battle royal for the WWE Women's Championship. She didn't hold the championship for long, losing it to Molly Holly within a month of her debut victory.

Although Kim wasn't highly successful in the company, she flourished in other promotions, especially Impact Wrestling, where she is considered a major legend. Now retired, Kim is known as a wrestler who helped enhance the quality of women's wrestling in the US.

#1 Paige (WWE Divas Championship)

The only entry in the list to be recreated for the climactic scene of a feature film, Paige's championship glory in her debut, and it was a genuinely surprising moment. AJ Lee had proved her domination over the Divas roster the night before at Wrestlemania, and no one expected a rookie to beat her for the title.

Paige went on to have a successful career in the company, helping in the progress of the Women's Revolution. Unfortunately, she had to retire due to injury, although she has long hinted at a return to the ring.

Paige's personal life has become a hotbed of controversy, but her debut remains one of the most memorable WWE moments of recent times.
