Sometimes it doesn't take long to win a title on the Grandest Stage of Them All.

It's every wrestler's dream to win a championship at WrestleMania. Well, actually it's every wrestler's dream to have healthcare, but we'll just say it's the whole championship thing.

Plenty of great title changes have taken place at 'Mania and they all seem to have one thing in common - they all went a pretty decent amount of time. Sometimes, however, WrestleMania championship changes happen in a lot less time.

All the matches on this list are under six minutes long - some robbed of precious minutes, others leaving the audience very glad they didn't get more time.

Disclaimer: we're not counting the title changes in the WrestleMania 2000 Hardcore Battle Royal, as those changes would take up most of this list. The entire match ran for fifteen minutes, we we've chosen to take that time as the official timing for the title changes. Sorry, Viscera, no entry for you.

From well-structured short matches to the screwiest of screwy finishes, the following ten bouts are all historical in their own way. Whether you want to watch them or not is completely up to you.

10. The Bludgeon Brothers Vs. The New Day Vs The Usos (WrestleMania 34 - 5m50s)

For our first entry, we take you all the way back to... last year.

The Bludgeon Brothers - former Wyatt Family members, (Luke) Harper and (Erick) Rowan - turned heads when they re-debuted with a new gimmick in 2017.

The monstrous duo cut their way through the SmackDown tag team division, eventually interrupting a tag title match between The Usos and The New Day at Fastlane 2018. As a result, they were put into a triple threat title match at 'Mania.

Many fans had high hopes for this match, as all three teams brought something very different. However, Harper and Rowan won the belts in just 5 minutes and 50 seconds, leaving a more than a few fans disappointed.

Perhaps this was due to the bout's placement on the card - it came directly after the marquee match of Triple H and Stephanie McMahon vs. Kurt Angle and Ronda Rousey, which ran over 20 minutes. Maybe WWE thought the audience needed a palette cleanser, so cut the SmackDown tag team match down to compensate.

The match was still decent, but it's just a shame that these three teams worked so hard to build this feud and were rewarded with fewer than six minutes of screen time.
