Buff Bagwell is mostly known for his decade-long stint in World Championship Wrestling during 1991-2001. He had an incredibly short run in WWE in 2001 after WCW folded.
23 years later, Bagwell is now a champion at 54 years old. The pro wrestling veteran and Big John Dalton have won the Memphis Wrestling Tag Team titles, as can be seen in the picture below:

The last time Bagwell won a title belt was way back in 2018. He defeated LT Falk to win the Mayhem Heavyweight title.
Bagwell's run with World Wrestling Entertainment was a forgettable one. He was one of several stars who signed a deal with the promotion immediately after WCW was purchased by Vince McMahon.
On the July 2, 2002, episode of RAW, Bagwell made his televised debut and faced Booker T with the latter's WCW Championship on the line. The bout was marred by interference from Kurt Angle and Stone Cold and ended in a no-contest.

On July 9, Bagwell was informed that he had been let go from the company. His WWE match against Booker T is widely considered by fans as one of the worst in the history of pro wrestling.
Congratulations to Buff Bagwell on his title victory!

While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
