#8. AJ Styles becomes the first man to win the WWE Championship in the UK- SmackDown Live, 2017
Jinder Mahal’s reign as WWE Champion was definitely one of the most disappointing and boring world title reigns of all time and several critics have also placed ‘The Modern Day Maharaja’ as one of the worst WWE Champions of all time.
However, on a certain episode of SmackDown Live in the UK, in 2017, WWE eventually decided to end Mahal’s push, which apparently came to an abrupt ending thanks to ‘The Phenomenal One’, who once again stepped up to the plate when necessary and eventually knocked off ‘The Maharaja’ from the pedestal in order to win the WWE Championship for a second time in his career.
With this win, the WWE also set up a dream Champion vs Champion match for Survivor Series between Styles and Mahal.
