2001 | Chris Jericho | WWF Champion / WCW Champion
Jericho just made the list! But not just once. When Jericho first captured the WCW Championship from The Rock at No Mercy, little did he know, he would be teaming with him the next night on Raw for the WWF Tag Team Championship belts too. They were successful and beat the Dudley Boyz.
This made Jericho a double champion but it was not to be for long as they dropped the titles on the next week’s SmackDown to Booker T and Test. Nevertheless, this just gave the Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla a taste of what was to come.
That’s right, on a night that shocked the world, at Vengeance 2001, Chris Jericho captured both the WCW Championship from The Rock and the WWF Championship from Stone Cold Steve Austin. It will go down in history as one of the most shocking victories ever.
To beat just one of these superstars for a top title would be impressive, but two in one night? It really put Jericho on the map and gave him something to brag about to this day. It was a shame he had a forgettable title run and wasn’t really taken seriously but it showed that anything can happen in the WWE!
Chris Jericho dropped the Championships to Triple H at WrestleMania X-8 after which it was represented by one belt.
