10 Best Simultaneous WWE Heavyweight Champions
7. John Cena (WWE) & The Great Khali (World) - 2007
No, you're joking.
Shortly following John Cena being forced to prove his mettle against Shawn Michaels between WrestleMania and an hour-long Raw scrap in April 2007, 'The Champ' enhanced a growing reputation as an unlikely superworker in a programme with The Great Khali that too enhanced the giant's own stature. Literally hauled around by 'Big Match John' in their astonishingly good One Night Stand pay-per-view main event in June, he was miraculously a champion in his own right a month later after Edge was forced out of the spot with an injury.
Khali still had stinkers in him, but there was something fiercely believable about the biggest man holding the biggest title hostage, particularly considering how satisfying his scraps with a dwarfed Batista were in the wake of the Cena classic.
Crucially, he was a draw, too. Delivering everything in India Jinder Mahal never could, Khali was established as a money-making megastar elsewhere in the world, with his box office appeal as World Heavyweight Champion transcending generations - his matches on WWE's official YouTube crack 60-70 million views with ease. Mahal had to go to a golf course with R-Truth just to get to seven figures.
