As mentioned earlier, Seth Rollins defeated John Cena at SummerSlam 2015 to become the United States Champion. However, Rollins was also the WWE Champion at that time. The match was booked as a Winner-Takes-All bout. Had Cena won the match, he would have become the WWE Champion.

However, with an unlikely assist from the guest host Jon Stewart, Rollins took both the titles home, thus becoming the first-ever WWE Superstar to hold both the United States title and the WWE Championship together.

He would lose the United States title to John Cena on the next PPV. Still, that was an awesome moment. Rollins would still retain the WWE title until his unfortunate injury during a house show match against Kane.

#3 Since scrapping the World Heavyweight Championship in the mid-2010s, Seth Rollins is the only Superstar to hold both the WWE title and the Universal title twice

In 2013, WWE unified both the WWE Championship and the World Heavyweight championship. At TLC 2013, the WWE Champion Randy Orton defeated the World Heavyweight Champion John Cena to become the inaugural WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Subsequently, WWE scrapped the World Heavyweight Championship and used a single title following the lineage of the WWE title.

Since then, Brock Lesnar held the WWE title once and the Universal title thrice, Roman Reigns held the WWE title three times and the Universal title once. Other than these two, only Seth Rollins held both the WWE title and the Universal title - twice each - making him the only Superstar to have 2 reigns with both the World titles after WWE scrapped the World Heavyweight title.
