A definitive history of double champions in WWE

Two Man Power Trip

Just chillin’

2001 | Stone Cold Steve Austin | WWF Champion / WWF Tag Team Champion

2001 | Triple H | WWF Intercontinental Champion / WWF Tag Team Champion

This was one of the most powerful forces in wrestling as we began to exit the Attitude Era. Stone Cold Steve Austin and Triple H held all the main titles in WWF as it was at the time. Austin had won his WWF Championship at WrestleMania X-Seven against The Rock in a no disqualification match.

In the week’s shows that followed on SmackDown, HHH earned his Intercontinental Championship. He actually had two matches for it during April 2001 but managed to claim the gold before the two men went after the Brothers of Destruction at Backlash for the WWF Tag Team Championships.

Triple H and Austin would be successful in their conquest and ended up with the three most prestigious titles in WWE at the time. This was the second time this had happened, the first being earlier in the slide with Kevin Nash and Shawn Michaels.

Triple H was first to ruin things by dropping the Intercontinental Championship at Judgment Day to Kane in a brutal chain match. The next night on Raw did not go much better for the Two-Man power trip as they ended up losing the Tag titles too.

Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho got the better of the veterans and captured the Tag titles from them. Only Austin remained WWF Champion for the latter half of the year.
