#1 Oldest WWE Champion: Mr. McMahon (54 years 21 days)
Vince McMahon
It's still weird to think that Vince McMahon of all people once won the WWE title. On an episode of SmackDown in 1999, Triple H put his WWE title on the line against Vince McMahon, who was out to defend the honor of his family in the squared circle.

After suffering a brutal beatdown at the hands of Triple H, Vince McMahon was aided by Stone Cold Steve Austin, when The Rattlesnake came out and attacked Triple H and Chyna. He then pulled Vince and put him atop an unconscious Triple H. Shane McMahon made the three-count and Vince became the oldest WWE Champion in history.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. 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.
