At WWE WrestleMania 37, AJ Styles made history by becoming the latest superstar to crown himself a WWE Grand Slam Champion. On Night 1 of the show, Styles won the RAW Tag Team Championships with Omos, who made his WWE in-ring debut on the night.
Styles and Omos' emphatic win over The New Day meant that The Phenomenal One added the last missing puzzle piece to his Grand Slam Champion list. Having made his WWE debut in 2016, AJ Styles became a Grand Slam Champion within 5 years.
While it is one of the fastest Grand Slam achievements for a WWE Superstar in recent history, there are a handful of names ahead of AJ Styles to reach the same accomplishment in WWE.
With that being said, this article takes an in-depth look at five WWE Superstars who were the fastest to become a Grand Slam Champion in the company.
#5. WWE SmackDown star Bayley took just over 1300 days to become a Grand Slam Champion
The year 2020 was incredible for WWE SmackDown star Bayley. The former NXT Women's Champion established her place as the top female Superstar of the blue brand and recorded a historic reign as the SmackDown Women's Champion.
Alongside Asuka, the only other WWE female superstar who has completed the Grand Slam Championship accomplishment is Bayley. In 2015, Bayley won her first title in WWE when she captured the NXT Women's Championship and after being called up to the main roster, she also had a reign with the RAW Women's Championship.
A former two-time WWE Women's Tag Team Champion with Sasha Banks, Bayley, less than four years after her NXT Women's Title win, became WWE's first women's Grand Slam Champion. The two-time WWE SmackDown Women's Champion is also WWE's first Women's Triple Crown Champion.
Despite a proper babyface run during the initial stages of her WWE career, Bayley well and truly peaked during her recent heel run on SmackDown. In the pandemic era of WWE, Bayley established herself as one of the most well-recognized heels of the business.
#4. Eddie Guerrero achieved the WWE Grand Slam status in 1259 days
Throughout his WWE career, Eddie Guerrero was always regarded as one of the best in-ring competitors of the professional wrestling business. One of the best heels of all time, Eddie was loved by the majority of fans and put on instant in-ring classics with almost anyone he stepped into the squared circle with.
A former one-time WWE Champion, Eddie held every other championship WWE had to offer during his time with the company. In regards to singles championships, the Hall of Famer is a former two-time European Champion, one-time United States Champion, and a two-time Intercontinental Champion.
Guerrero is also a four-time WWE Tag Team Champion and is the 11th Triple Crown Champion in WWE history. A legend of the industry, Guerrero won his first eligible title in WWE in 2000 and completed his Grand Slam at No Way Out 2004 when he won the WWE Championship.
Eddie also won the tag team titles with Chavo Guerrero, Tajiri, and his good friend Rey Mysterio in the company.
#3. WWE Hall of Famer Kane is also a Grand Slam Champion
In terms of veterans of the business, for years Kane has been a major part of WWE TV. The Big Red Monster underwent multiple variations throughout his career and despite other top names of the business shifting to a part-time schedule, Kane kept himself engaged with WWE television for most of his career.
It was in 1995 when Kane made his WWE debut, but under the name of Mike Unabomb, at a RAW taping. After an intense and slow build-up to his character, WWE finally introduced the monstrous character of Kane at Badd Blood: In Your House in 1997.
From there onwards, Kane pretty much went on a rampage in WWE. Winning nine different championships during his time with the company, Kane established his place as the third-ever Grand Slam Champion in WWE.
Despite only having won a World Title on just two occasions, Kane remains as one of the few superstars in history to have won the WWE Title, the World Heavyweight Title, and the ECW Title. The recently inducted Hall of Famer is a 9-time WWE Tag Team Champion and enjoyed runs with the Intercontinental, United States, Hardcore, and WWE 24/7 Championship, as well.
#2. Kurt Angle cut the WWE Grand Slam numbers down to three digits
Kurt Angle is one of the rare superstars in history to have competed for promotions including WWE, New Japan Pro Wrestling, and TNA/Impact Wrestling.
Regardless of which company he competed under, Angle has always delivered at the highest level and it was during his time at WWE that the Hall of Famer gave the fans countless memorable moments.
During the start of the Ruthless Aggression Era, Kurt Angle began to cement his place as one of the top dogs in WWE. A four-time WWE Champion, Angle became the fifth-ever WWE Grand Slam Champion. But the surprising part about his achievement is how quickly he did it.
Having won the European Championship in the year 2000, Angle became eligible to chase the Grand Slam Title. And within the space of 966 days, the Hall of Famer earned the right to call himself a WWE Grand Slam Champion. At No Mercy 2002, Angle completed his achievement when he won the WWE Tag Team Championship.
#1. Chris Jericho is the fastest WWE Grand Slam Champion
Chris Jericho is known for breaking records, whether in be with WWE or AEW. A veteran of the sport, Jericho is still going strong in his 50s and tends to make history in the business wherever he goes.
During his time with WWE, Jericho established his place as one of the absolute best in the business on the mic. He also stole the show for his in-ring brilliance. At the Armageddon pay-per-view in 1999, Y2J won the WWE Intercontinental Championship, a title he has held on nine different occasions.
By the time WWE had reached the Vengeance 2001 PPV, Jericho had won all the remaining titles to complete his Grand Slam achievement in the company. The last of which was the Undisputed WWF Championship. It could be said that Jericho completed his Grand Slam in the best possible way one could ask for.
A former titleholder in WCW, NJPW, and even his current home of AEW, Chris Jericho has had success with titles almost everywhere he has been. And by the looks of it, the multi-time WWE World Champion isn't slowing down anytime soon.
