10 Shortest WWE Champions Ever

Ziggler is billed as being just nine pounds lighter than Jericho, but his history at the top of the WWE table is checkered to say the least. Ziggler is listed as being a two-time World Heavyweight Champion, but when one of those reigns lasted all of 11 minutes it is difficult to count it in truth. Ziggler didn't even have to win a match to gain the title, so it's best to forget about it.

His second run came to an abrupt end thanks to an untimely concussion, but it did give us one of the biggest pops in recent memory. Ziggler had held the Money in the Bank briefcase for all of 267 days, and the night after WrestleMania 29 he finally cashed it in on a prone Alberto Del Rio. This reign would last just 67 days, losing the title back to ADR at Payback.

Even though WWE teases a Ziggler push every year, he seems to get further and further away from adding to these two disappointing championship reigns.
