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

#3 Brock Lesnar conquered the WWE Championship in 126 days

The Beast became the youngest WWE Champion of all time

Paul Heyman has been behind many young and budding WWE Superstars during his career, but one man has benefitted the most from associating with him, Brock Lesnar.

After a stint in OVW, Lesnar arrived on the main roster in March 2002. The heel dubbed as The Next Big Thing rolled over everyone who stood in his path. Three months later, Lesnar won the 2002 King of the Ring tournament and earned a shot at the WWE Undisputed Championship at SummerSlam.

The Beast took down The Rock at SummerSlam in August 2002 to become the youngest WWE Champion of all time at age 25. It took him just over four months to win WWE's top prize and enter the big leagues.

Lesnar has since become a world champion eight times, with one of his WWE Universal Championship reigns lasting for a record 503-days.

Currently, Lesnar’s WWE contract status is unknown. It seems like he hasn't signed a new contract with the company. This means he could either sign an even bigger contract with the company or go back to UFC for one final run.
