10 Superstars with most World Title reigns in WWE History

#9(Tie) Shawn Michaels, Christian, Alberto Del Rio, Daniel Bryan, Sheamus and Roman Reigns - 4 Reigns

The Master and The Pupil share the number of World Titles won.

It's hard to digest the fact that despite being a bonafide main eventer and show stealer for WWE for almost two decades, Shawn Michaels only won the top prize of the company four times. His three reigns as WWF Champion came during his first run with the company, with his first title win at Mania XII regarded as a milestone moment. His final and solitary reign as World Heavyweight Champion lasted for only 28 days in 2002.

Joining him at the same spot is his Pupil, Daniel Bryan, who also has three reigns as WWE Champion and one reign as World Heavyweight Champion to his name. While Bryan's defeat at Mania XXVIII is regarded as the worst World Title defeat, his WWE Title win two years later is regarded as one of the finest victories in recent times.

Courtesy his win at Summerslam, the current Universal Champion has also joined HBK and Bryan at joint four reigns after accumulating three reigns with the WWE Title, the last of which began at WrestleMania 32.

While he has been out of the main event for quite some time now, Sheamus has a sensational cabinet of title, which includes three reigns as WWE Champion and one reign of 218 days as World Heavyweight Champion.

Rounding off this list are Christian and Alberto Del Rio. While both of them boast two reigns each as World Heavyweight Champions, Del Rio's two reigns as WWE Champion are well complemented by Christian's two with the ECW Championship.
