4 Surprising WWE World Champions of the 21st Century

#4 Bray Wyatt

Bray Wyatt pinned Aj styles and became the new WWE champion

Bray Wyatt has had quite an interesting career so far in the WWE. The Eater of Worlds formed the famous Wyatt Family which was a major hit as the faction proved to an entertaining one. Wyatt feuded with superstars ranging from Dean Ambrose to Matt hardy but the most successful he has been till date was when he was the leader of the Wyatt family.

Wyatt famously won the WWE championship at the Elimination Chamber in 2017 when he defeated John Cena, Aj Styles, Dean Ambrose, The Miz and Baron Corbin inside the Chamber. The move to make Wyatt the WWE champion that too just before WrestleMania seemed quite absurd and didn't go too well with the WWE.

Back in the day Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt collaborated as the viper joined the Wyatt Family but their alliance didn't stand strong for long as Randy went toe-to-toe with Bray at WrestleMania courtesy of the championship contract he earned after winning the Royal Rumble.
