WWE: 10 Best European Champions In History

By Mark Ginocchio /

8. X-Pac

Stats: 2x champion (134-day combined reign) Sean €œX-Pac€ Waltman kicked off his epic return to the WWE in 1998 by joining the D-Generation X stable alongside his long-time real life buddy, Triple H. As a part of DX, X-Pac was consistently in the upper mid-card portion of WWE€™s roster, but without a solo championship to call his own until he defeated D€™Lo Brown for the European strap on the September 21, 1998 episode of Raw. He dropped the belt back to Brown after just two weeks, but beat D€™Lo again at 1998€™s Judgement Day pay-per-view event in October, kicking off a lengthy 120-day reign. Unfortunately, X-Pac had the indignity being the first WWE superstar to lose a title to a McMahon, when he was pinned by Shane McMahon in a tag team match that pitted X-Pac and Triple H against Shane and Kane, airing on the February 15, 1999 episode of Raw. Per the stipulations of the match, if Kane or Shane pinned X-Pac, they would win the championship. X-Pac lost the title thanks to some shenanigans involving his presumed allies, Chyna and Triple H (who would fully turn on their fellow DX member at Wrestlemania XV during X-Pac€™s rematch against Shane).
