#3 The Big Show wins his first WWE Championship – Nov 14th, 1999 Survivor Series
On the same day that Kurt Angle made his debut, The Big Show would capture his first WWE Championship. The main event of Survivor Series was supposed to be a Triple Threat match involving the then-champion Triple H, The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin, but Austin was run over (in storyline) by a car prior to the match.
The BigShow would replace Austin in the main event and would chokeslam Triple H to win the WWE Championship. Show would retain the title at Armageddon against the Big Bossman before eventually losing the title back to Triple H on an episode of Raw.
The BigShow, Triple H, The Rock and Mick Foley would fight for the title at Wrestlemania next year in a fatal four-way match.
