20 Wrestlers You Totally Forgot Held WWE Championships

Molly Holly was a former WWE Women’s Champion, and one of the division’s best wrestlers throughout her time with the company. The third Holly cousin wasn’t always given the greatest creative direction, but she featured at the heart of a number of prominent stories through her run, and when her relationship with Spike Dudley fell apart, she became The Hurricane’s sidekick.

Her spell as Mighty Molly lasted less than a year, and she turned on the former Shane Helms as soon as there was gold in her sights. At WrestleMania X8, Molly cracked The Hurricane with a frying pan and pinned him to become Hardcore Champion, but as was the theme in this division, her reign didn’t last the night.

Christian slammed her face in a door and took the belt later in the evening, but her reign lasted close to an hour, and that’s more than most of WWE’s 6,705* other Hardcore Champions can say.
