10 Best WWE Triple Threat Matches
8. CM Punk Vs. The Miz Vs. Alberto Del Rio (TLC 2011)
The 434 days CM Punk spent wearing WWE Championship reign between 2011 and 2013 sits squarely in that great tradition of lengthy title reigns - right up there with Bruno Sammartino's eight-year stint in the 1960s.
What's remarkable about that is that The Straight-Edge Superstar pulled it off largely without the array of main event-level opponents you would normally associate with wrestling's biggest prize. For a big part of his run, he was left fighting the likes of Del Rio, Miz and Dolph Ziggler, nominal mid-carders.
One such match came at Tables, Ladders & Chairs at the end of 2011, in which the future UFC star proved exactly why he was so valuable to his employers at the time by playing the starring role in what must be one of the best TLC bouts of all-time.
Simply put, it was a match without any respite. From the opening bell, the trio went at it hammer and tongs, and maintained the same break-neck speed for almost entirely the 20 or so minutes they shared centre-stage.
