The Undertaker was one of those unique wrestling characters who didn't actually need titles throughout his epic career. The gimmick was an attraction all on its own, but 'Taker did hold the WWE Title four times and the old World Heavyweight Championship on a further three occasions. Ready to have your mind blown?

His last title reign came in 2010.

He won the old World belt from CM Punk at Hell In A Cell 2009, then held the thing for 140 days until losing it to Chris Jericho at Elimination Chamber 2010. Shawn Michaels interfered in that match before the finish, which led to an aforementioned blistering WrestleMania sequel that tore the house down.

This 2009-2010 reign was ’Taker’s final title one in WWE, which is wild to think about. He officially retired from the ring at Survivor Series 2020, meaning he went more than 10 years without holding a title at all. (No, the Tuwaiq Mountain Trophy he won at Super ShowDown 2020 doesn't count!)
