10 Fastest WWE Title Changes Ever

10. Teddy Long Books A Singles Match

We don't know for exactly how long Dolph Ziggler got to call himself World Heavyweight Champion after being gifted the title as a Valentine's treat by then-girlfriend Vickie Guerrero on the special 600th episode of SmackDown in February 2011.

Since this was a pre-taped show, it could have been anything from five minutes to five hours - only those in attendance can truly say for certain (and all of them have since perished). For our purposes, we'll measure its length based on what we watched at home on TV, which puts it at roughly an hour and a half.

The reason it was so short was because rightful SmackDown GM Teddy Long returned just as Ziggler was celebrating his coronation, duly announcing that he would have to defend the belt against Edge - the former holder - later on in the night (and so marking the first time in history he had booked something other than a tag team match).

Not only did Ziggler lose (of course he did: he was up against a bazillion-time world champion fan favourite on a WWE supershow) he also promptly got fired afterwards. It turned out that, unlike his last boss, Long wasn't going to be seduced by the former Spirit Squad member's fluttering eyelashes.
