Jackson is recognized as the final ECW Champion in history, having won the title on the final episode of the now-defunct reboot of the iconic on February 16th, 2010.

Jackson would go on to win the IC title on one occasion before untimely injuries derailed his career. He was sidelined for almost a year and while he did return to action for a few matches, his WWE career was a lost cause.
