10 Worst Simultaneous WWE Heavyweight Champions
3. John Cena (WWE) & Alberto Del Rio (World) - 2013
From boredom that at least bloomed on pay-per-view we traverse a decade on to the last days of the medium WWE killed before declaring it as dead.
WWE lumped every supercard on their new $9.99 Network service in an effort to literally bully viewers into abandoning the old fashioned method. It'd be dumb to pay five times the price, they had Michael Cole actually f*cking say, to watch all your 2014 favourites for the dollars they stole from your pockets just a year earlier. Only then did it force fans to reflect on what they'd actually been watching all this time.
Alberto Del Rio's 2013 heel turn wasn't unwelcome, but the match that triggered the switch unfortunately returned the World Heavyweight Title to his possession long after he'd proved himself unable to carry the load. Reclaiming it from Dolph Ziggler after concussion issues knackered 'The Show Off's only proper stint with the strap, Del Rio was no more or less over as a heel but at least got to use his smug expression for evil rather than good.
Not like anything mattered after one of the worst versions of John Cena took back over anyway.
His three-year arc with The Rock concluded with 'Big Match John' becoming 'The Champ' yet again, more confident that ever before. Dishwater dull dalliances with Ryback in the post-WrestleMania slump foreshadowed the frustrating reliance WWE still had on old habits too...
