5 times WWE Superstars stole Championship belts

#4 Madusa dumps the WWE Women's title in a trash can

Madusa dumps the title

This one's the only instance in this list that wasn't a part of a storyline. Alundra Blayze, the then-WWE Women's Champion, jumped ship to WCW and took the coveted title along with her to the promotion, despite being stripped off the belt.

An episode of Monday Nitro in December 1995 saw Blayze, now calling herself Madusa, dropping the title belt in a trash can, in one of the most iconic stills in Pro Wrestling history. Blayze kept the title for around two decades, before revealing it again during her Hall of Fame induction in 2015.

#3 Khali takes possession of John Cena's WWE title

Cena vs The Great Khali

Back during his early years in WWE, The Great Khali was an actual legit main event heel. He took out several main event Superstars in his quest to target John Cena, then-WWE Champion, and finally attacked him on an episode of Raw.

Two weeks before his WWE title match against Cena at Judgment Day 2007. Khali took the WWE title in his possession while Cena was in the ring. When Cena tried to stop him from fleeing with the belt, Khali turned and decked him with the title.

Cena tried to get back his title the next week, but ended up being destroyed by Khali in a backstage area. Somehow, Cena managed to retain the title against the intimidating monster at the PPV.
