9 Superstars who won a WWE title in their first year - Where are they now?

#8 Big Show won the WWE Championship after 273 days

Big Show always stood out from the rest of the locker room

The biggest Superstar on this list signed his WWE contract on Feb. 9, 1999, and made his television debut at St. Valentine's Day Massacre: In Your House. He became Vince McMahon’s enforcer during his initial days in the company.

It didn’t take long for The Big Show to start his reign of terror in the company. He won the WWE Tag Team Championships twice with The Undertaker, once in August and again in September 1999.

Then, Big Show defeated The Rock and Triple H in a Triple Threat match to become the WWE Champion at Survivor Series 1999. This allowed The World’s Largest Athlete to win the WWE title just 273 days after his debut.

The four-time world champion has achieved a lot in his illustrious career, and still makes sporadic appearances for the company. He has worked tirelessly to put several Superstars over during his time with the company. Outside the ring, Big Show has appeared in several movies and tv shows. He even had his own Netflix series in 2020.
