10 Wrestlers That Have Held The WWE Title The Most Times

10. Edge (4)

wwe.comwwe.comAs an individual competitor, Edge spent most of his career as the biggest draw on the SmackDown brand. A show that predominantly showcased the WCW inherited, World Heavyweight Championship as its biggest prize; with the WWE title remaining on the company€™s longer running weekly show, Monday Night Raw. Not only did the Rated-R Superstar squeeze in an impressive four WWE Championship belts before retirement, he also managed a record seven World Heavyweight Championship reigns. After becoming the first ever Money in the Bank winner at WrestleMania 21, Edge received the luxury of a championship match at any point he deemed appropriate. The Rated-R Superstar wisely chose to cash in his prize immediately after a gruelling thirty minute Elimination Chamber match, Edge scored a quick pinfall over Cena and genuinely looked elated to finally be holding the WWE title, after eight years with the company. During his second run as WWE champion he replaced a Cena customised belt with a personalised Edge belt; though it basically looked the same, only with Rated-R Superstar plastered across the middle. Tacky customised belts have never really worked; they cheapen the title, making it look more like a build-your-own kid€™s toy than the highest accolade in the sport. Imagine if Kate Winslet won an Oscar, then pulled out a marker pen and started writing her name in bubble letters all over it.
