Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch become the first couple to hold unique record in WWE after Night of Champions

After Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch competed at WWE Night of Champions on Saturday, the real-life couple now has a unique record to their name.

Rollins was featured in the final of the World Heavyweight Championship tournament against AJ Styles. The two stars delivered inside the ring and put on a thrilling encounter. Rollins finally won the match after a Pedigree and Stomp to Styles, becoming the inaugural World Heavyweight Champion.

Lynch also had a stellar match against WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus. However, The Man could not win as Zoey Stark interfered in the contest, hitting her with the Z-360 outside the ring. Stratus then delivered the Stratusfaction to Lynch, securing a massive victory.

One user on Twitter pointed out that after Rollins won the World Heavyweight Championship, he and Lynch became the first couple in WWE history to be inaugural champions for a particular title. While Rollins did it with the new Heavyweight Championship, The Man was the first-ever SmackDown Women's Champion. She achieved this feat back in 2016 after the brand split.

While the World Heavyweight Championship had been a part of WWE lore before, the company updated its website, placing the older title under the retired category. This makes Rollins the first man to hold the current iteration of the World Heavyweight Championship, starting a new lineage for the belt.
