#9 WWE NXT Championship

WWE has had a phenomenal run of superstars holding the NXT Championship. The legacy started off strong with Seth Rollins and only got stronger with the inclusion of Big E, Shinsuke Nakamura, Adrian Neville, Bobby Roode, Drew McIntyre, Andrade, Keith Lee and more.

One of the greatest NXT Champions of all time, though, was Bo Dallas. The third to ever hold the gold, Dallas bested Big E on the December 6th, 2012 edition of NXT to win it. After an impressive 280 day reign, Dallas would lose it to Adrian Neville before moving onto WWE's main roster.

When Dallas won the NXT Championship, he was 23 years old, making him the youngest NXT Champion ever.


#8 WWE SmackDown Tag Titles

After the WWE Brand Split in 2016, RAW and SmackDown were awarded their own tag team titles. The SmackDown Tag Team Titles have been held by the likes of The Usos, The Bludgeon Brothers, New Day, The Bar and other top tier talents.

The Usos actually won the titles for the fifth time recently, beating Rey and Dominik Mysterio for them on the WWE Money in the Bank pre-show. Coincidentally, they dethroned the youngest champion, Dominik, who was 24 when he won them with his dad back at WrestleMania Backlash.


#7 WWE WWE RAW Tag Titles

Alright, we should all remember this one. WWE made a strange decision when they decided to send Braun Strowman into a RAW Tag Team Title match against then-champions The Bar at WrestleMania 34. Strowman had continuously attacked Sheamus and Cesaro, but had never found a partner he trusted.

Well, at the show itself, Strowman had not yet found someone worthy enough to challenge for the gold. So what did he do? He went into the audience, picked out a ten year old boy, and won the RAW Tag Titles essentially by himself. Nicholas, revealed to be the son of WWE referee John Cone, would be forced to vacate the titles along with Braun.

Braun stated that it was a scheduling issue as Nicholas was in the fourth-grade and needed to focus on school. However, he promised to come back when he was finished to regain what they never truly lost. With Braun Strowman gone from WWE now, that seems unlikely.

Still, perhaps Nicholas will be able to bring Strowman back when he hits the right age for one last run.
