The Invasion
Trending
2001 | Booker T | WCW Champion / WCW U.S Champion
2001 | Kanyon | WCW U.S Champion / WWF Tag Team Champion
2001 | X-Pac | WWF Light Heavyweight Champion / WCW Cruiserweight Champion
2001 | The Undertaker | WWF Tag Team Champion / WCW Tag Team Champion
2001 | Kane | WWF Tag Team Champion / WCW Tag Team Champion
Booker T counts on this list as he came into the WWE from WCW as a double champion and remained so until he gave the U.S Championship up to Kanyon. Had Booker T not been the only double champion at WCW however, we are looking at a different list all together there.
Kanyon won the WWF Tag Team Championships with DDP from the APA on a July episode of Raw. He was awarded the ECW U.S Championship from its previous owner Booker T by then ECW owner Stephanie McMahon as alluded to above.
Kanyon was basically gifted a double championship. His reign would not last long however as he and DDP lost the WWF Tag Team Championships in a steel cage match at SummerSlam 2001 to the Brothers of Destruction, the Undertaker and Kane.
This, in turn, made Undertaker and Kane double champions in their own right as they already owned the WCW Tag Team Championships. They lost the WWF Tag Team Championships first on Raw in September, and then the WCW Tag Team Championships a week later on SmackDown.
The WCW Tag Team Championships were retired not long after this as the invasion came to a close.
The other notable double champion as the confusing invasion took place was X-Pac. He beat Jeff Hardy on an episode of Raw to first capture the Light Heavyweight Championship. He then beat Billy Kidman a month later to capture the WCW Cruiserweight title which would be later known as the WWE Cruiserweight Championship, though not the one we know today.
A unification match was supposed to take place but never materialised due to Tajiri having an injury so the Light Heavyweight belt was simply deactivated.
There is one glaring omission from this Invasion list…
