5 Biggest questions after Brock Lesnar squashed Kofi Kingston in nine seconds

#1 Is nine seconds a new record for the WWE Championship?

The @WWEStats Twitter account is very helpful when it comes to crunching numbers after WWE shows, and this nine-second match resulted in three Brock Lesnar-related tweets being sent out shortly after his victory.

First of all, regardless of the outcome of the main event, it was revealed that Lesnar had a gap of 15 years and seven months between matches on SmackDown – a tally that puts him third on the all-time list of the largest gap between matches on the blue brand (behind The Headbangers).

“The Beast” also became the first Superstar in WWE history to win the WWE Championship on two occasions on SmackDown, having previously defeated Kurt Angle for the title in a 60-minute ironman match in September 2003.

It was also noted that Lesnar has now joined John Cena, Randy Orton, Triple H, The Rock, Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin and Bret Hart in winning the WWE Championship at least five times, while he now has a total of eight World Championship victories.

Although Kingston vs. Lesnar was over in nine seconds, it is not the shortest WWE Championship title change in history. Excluding Money In The Bank cash-ins, that record is still held by Diesel, who defeated Bob Backlund at a live event in 1994 to win the title in eight seconds.
