The WWE Title is still regarded as the most prestigious belt in North American pro wrestling. For almost every young wrestler, the title represents reaching the pinnacle of your craft, which is pretty much what Seth Rollins said in interviews after capturing the thing at WrestleMania 31 earlier this year. WWE may have de-emphasized the importance of title belts over the years, but the WWE Title has remained wrestling's richest prize. Scanning a list of wrestlers who have held the belt reads like a who's who of the best the industry has to offer. Names such as Hulk Hogan, Bruno Sammartino, Randy Savage, The Rock and Steve Austin immediately jump out. These are joined by more modern examples such as John Cena and CM Punk. There's no doubt about it, the championship means a lot to those who win it. Better yet, many title changes have had a stunning impact on wrestling history. If many of the switches hadn't occurred, things would be very different. That's exactly the kind of thing focused on here, in this article looking at 10 of the most vitally important WWE Title changes in company history. Not all of these moments were wholly positive for everyone involved, but they did drastically change things for WWE going forward. For that very reason, they're worth exploring, and definitely worthy of inclusion.
