A definitive history of double champions in WWE

Euro-continental Champion

I’d look after those titles Kurt...

1999 | D’Lo Brown | WWF Intercontinental Champion / WWF European Champion

1999 | Jeff Jarrett | WWF Intercontinental Champion / WWF European Champion

2000 | Kurt Angle | WWF Intercontinental Champion / WWF European Champion

The WWF Intercontinental Championship and European Championship were seen side by side more than once in the heart of the Attitude Era. D’Lo Brown was the one to start this trend when he captured the European title at Fully Loaded ’99. The next Raw, he managed to beat Jeff Jarrett for the Intercontinental Championship despite the fact that Double J had just won the title at Fully Loaded.

This made D’Lo Brown the first man in the history of the WWE to hold both the Intercontinental Championship and the European Championship simultaneously.

This would only last less than a month though as Jeff Jarrett would beat D’Lo Brown and because both titles were on the line, he became the second man to own both Championships.

However, due to the fact that Mark Henry interfered in the match at SummerSlam, Jarrett would award the European half to Mark Henry. This split the titles and allowed the mid card to have two belts to fight for once again.

A month later at Unforgiven, D’Lo Brown would not have to wait long to get his European Championship back from Mark Henry.

This was it until Kurt Angle completed the same feat D’Lo Brown and Jeff Jarrett had before him and in the same order. He captured the European Championship firstly from Val Venis on SmackDown.

He would then add the Intercontinental Championship to the collection less than a month later at WWF No Way Out 2000 making him the third double champion to hold these specific belts at the same time.

Angle lost both belts to separate people in a 2 falls triple threat match at WrestleMania 2000. Chris Benoit won the first fall to claim the Intercontinental Championship. Chris Jericho won the second fall capturing the European Championship for the first time in his career.
