6 WWE superstars who held 2 different titles at the same time

One of the biggest achievements a professional wrestler could achieve in his career is winning a championship, whichever it may be.

But what is better than winning one championship? Two championships.

Over the years, there have been myriad of WWE superstars who held two different titles at the same time. These titles ranged from the world title to various secondary belts and the Tag Team Championship. A few of them are still on the WWE roster, while some have retired in recent months.

There are many more double champions in WWE history, but here are six of them who achieved this feat in fairly recent times.

#6 Seth Rollins

Becoming a double champion once is sweet, but doing it multiple times is something else entirely. This week on Raw, Seth Rollins completed a hat-trick of dual championship victories. It has become a habit for him now, having held two titles simultaneously three different times now.

The Beastslayer first did this when he defeated John Cena at SummerSlam in a match where both, his WWE Championship and Cena's United States Championship, were on the line.

He became a double champ once again last year when he and Dean Ambrose captured the Raw Tag Team Championship on the night that Roman Reigns announced the return of his leukemia. Rollins was the Intercontinental Champion at the time and even though Ambrose turned on him on that very night, their latest reign as tag champs is still in the record books.

Finally, the current Universal Champion returned to double champ status, a territory he has grown to be familiar with, this time winning the Raw tag titles alongside Braun Strowman against the OC. We do not know how long this odd pairing will hold the belts for, but Monday's victory made Seth Rollins a 'triple' double champ.

#5 John Cena

Seth Rollins is not the only world champion to win the Tag Team Championship with his (supposed) title challenger. This has been a common trope in Babyface vs Babyface feuds, with the two friendly foes working together to claim the tag titles. It is a pretty lazy way to build a feud between two good guys, as it compromises proper storytelling for all involved. Seth Rollins vs Braun Strowman has the potential to tell a really good story, but here we are.

Nevertheless, it has served to inflate one's championship shelf. The biggest example of this came when John Cena and Shawn Michaels won the World Tag Team Championships from Randy Orton and Edge, in 2007, as they were heading towards their WWE Championship main event at WrestleMania 23. This victory made Cena a double champion heading into the Show of Shows.

Other superstars have won tag team gold during their world title reigns, but the 16-time WWE Champion is the only one to enter WrestleMania with that combination of belts. Cena has only ever won the WWE Tag Team Championship alongside people he was feuding with, including a later entry on this list.

#4 Paige

She held the pair of them for about two weeks.

Paige joined the WWE main roster on the night after WrestleMania XXX, shockingly winning the Divas Championship in an impromptu match against AJ Lee.

In doing so, she became the youngest ever superstar to win the said title, at just 21 years of age. Additionally, Paige was still the NXT Women's Champion, making the win even more of a shocker. She was the head of the entire WWE bracket's female division, holding both titles at the same time for a couple of weeks.

The young Brit was the first female champion at Full Sail, having held the belt since defeating Emma in the inaugural title match following a tournament in mid-2013. However, her stunning main roster debut forced her to vacate the NXT Women's title on April 24th, after two weeks of being a dual champion.

Paige would win the Divas title only one more time before her still relatively blooming career was hampered by personal issues and injuries. Unfortunately, she ended up retiring at the start of 2018, with her massive in-ring potential left sadly unfulfilled. That would not take away from her phenomenal achievement at the very beginning of her main roster career.

#3 Rob Van Dam

More of the moment, less of the aftermath.

Rob Van Dam was one of the more high profile double champions in WWE history, especially when you consider the two titles he won. The former ECW icon was always the nearly guy, coming close to the world title and main event scene on multiple occasions.

He was constantly one of the most popular superstars on the roster throughout the Ruthless Aggression Era and that popularity was finally validated, when he won the Money in the Bank Ladder Match at WrestleMania 22.

Van Dam's cash-in turned out to be one of the most thrilling in history, with him announcing it beforehand. One Night Stand was the scene, as a rabid and bloodthirsty ECW fanbase was desperate to see RVD defeat John Cena for the WWE Championship. After a dramatic match, the crowd favorite won the title.

Shortly after, ECW was revived as the WWE's third brand and Rob Van Dam was promptly awarded the newly instated ECW World Championship by Paul Heyman. For a while, he was given the ball of two brands to run with. Unfortunately, an external incident forced WWE to book RVD to drop both the titles in short order and ultimately suspend him. Well, it was fun while it lasted, Rob.

#2 The Miz

2010 was an incredibly successful year for The Miz. He seemed to remain in the mid-card for the rest of his career, but the Awesome One rose to the occasion. The Miz began the year as the United States Champion. Shortly after, he began a pretty underrated partnership with the Big Show. The two would capture the WWE Unified Tag Team Championships from DX, making The Miz a double champion.

Holding three belts for a while became customary, as the future 8-time IC Champ kept on growing into one of the best heels in the company. He lost both titles within a month of each other, but bigger and better things were on the horizon. The Miz won the Raw Money in the Bank at the inaugural thematic pay-per-view and successfully cashed in his briefcase later in the year.

The Miz ended 2010 on top, as the WWE Champion. To technically top that, he became a double champion once more during his title run. He teamed with his WrestleMania XXVII opponent, John Cena, to defeat Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel for the titles only for them to lose them on the same night. This was likely one of the most forgotten scenarios where a WWE superstar held multiple titles at the same time.

#1 Becky Lynch

Out of every WWE superstar who has won two separate championships at the same time, none of them may have won two bigger championships than Becky Lynch. She literally won the top title of both Raw and SmackDown at WrestleMania 35.

She defeated Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair in a monumental main event at MetLife Stadium, where the winner would win the Raw Women's Championship, as well as the SmackDown Women's Championship.

The only other times a superstar has grabbed hold of two world championships, it was to unify them. This made Becky's victory even more significant, as she was now the top-dog on Monday and Tuesday. The Man would lose the SmackDown title a month after 'Mania, when interference from Lacey Evans caused Charlotte to win back the Blue brand's belt, while she is still standing strong as the lead woman on the Red brand and honestly, WWE as a whole.

After a drawn-out feud with Lacey Evans, along with a partnership with boyfriend and 3-time double champion, Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch is still looking to elevate her division. After a strong submission match against Natalya at SummerSlam, she is set to be challenged by a returning Sasha Banks. This seems to be the marquee feud that the Man has been waiting for, ever since she became Becky Two Belts at WrestleMania.
