11 Shortest WWE Title Changes In History

5. Kofi Kingston vs. Brock Lesnar (4 October 2019 - SmackDown)

Time: 9 seconds

Here it is, the match that inspired this article's creation and the squash that ended 'KofiMania' perhaps for good.

SmackDown's debut on FOX will be remembered for great production, 'King' Corbin talking royal b*llocks and Brock Lesnar looking like he might shart at the threat of Cain Velasquez. The entire bout was only one move, a fairly stiff F-5, and it depressed some in the front few rows so much that they turned their backs and booed.

WWE won't care about that in the short term. To them, getting the belt on Brock in the shortest time possible was all that mattered. In that sense then, they achieved their goal; nine seconds after the bell, Lesnar was rising to his feet and waiting to put a death clutch on a title he hadn't held since 2014.

Nine short seconds. Let that sink in, then realise that one other match can boast that and three others have been shorter.
