5 Youngest WWE Champions in history

4. The Rock

The Rock won his first WWF Championship in controversial fashion

The Rock would win the WWE Championship in controversial fashion at Survivor Series 1998. The “Deadly Games” tournament took place at the fall classic, which was put in place to crown a new WWF Champion as McMahon had stripped Stone Cold Steve Austin of it a month before. The Rock would take on Mankind, who was McMahon’s ally going into the match.

A double turn occurred as The Rock aligned himself with the McMahons, thus creating the notorious Corporation stable. The Rock was twenty-six years, six months and three days old when he won the WWF Championship taking over Taker by two months age-wise.
