14 Best WWE Title Changes At SummerSlam

When John Cena and Seth Rollins squared off at SummerSlam last year, both men were title-holders, but that was where the similarities ended. Cena was the United States Champion, defending his belt on a weekly basis in what often was the best match on Raw. Rollins, by contrast, was a chickensh*t WWE World Heavyweight Champion who held onto his title by hook and by crook.

Both titles were up for grabs at SummerSlam in a match that was destined to make history: no man had ever held both titles simultaneously. But in addition to that first-ever moment, the Cena/Rollins match was notable for another reason: It featured the physical prowess of a chair-wielding Jon Stewart, who dropped Cena with a shot, helping Rollins become the first World/U.S. champ.

In the end, Rollins’ reign as a dual champ would only last a month, but he still made WWE history and got a sweet bronze statue out of the deal… that is, until Sting stole and destroyed it. And odds are, we won’t see a wrestler hold two singles titles in WWE anytime soon, so Rollins might end up being a trivia question ten or fifteen years down the line as the last man to hold two singles championships.
