10 Worst Simultaneous WWE Heavyweight Champions
5. Jinder Mahal (WWE) & Brock Lesnar (Universal) -2017
AJ Styles was hailed as something of a saviour throughout October and November 2017.
He flew from Chile to Minnesota to help out (and substantially improve) a Tables, Ladders and Chairs pay-per-view with a firecracker of a clash against Finn Bálor, then travelled to a Manchester SmackDown Live taping to relieve the dreadful Jinder Mahal of the WWE Championship to not only set up a fantasy battle with Brock Lesnar but remove entirely the prospect of 'The Beast's planned mutilation of 'The Modern Day Maharaja'.
The Summer of 2017 was perhaps the most depressing in recent headliner history for WWE. Jinder cracked wise (and incredibly f*cking stupid) with Shinsuke Nakamura on Tuesdays, whilst Brock went back to not really turning up as his maiden run with the red belt ran on and on and on.
A two-week spell between September and October was one of the darkest hours for either strap. Lesnar, immovable as the part-time solution to the company's biggest problem in decades was set to square off with experiment-gone-wrong Mahal before Styles swooped in and took the title with just weeks to spare.
