9 Awesome WWE Matches From Criminally Short Title Reigns
7. Chris Jericho Vs. Edge (WrestleMania XXVI)
Remember the awesomeness of Shawn Michaels appearing out of nowhere to cost The Undertaker his World Title at Elimination Chamber 2010? Chris Jericho was there to capitalise, winning the Chamber match and becoming the new champ. He'd then move on to a feud with former tag partner Edge in time for WrestleMania.
All in all, Jericho's third run as World Heavyweight Champion lasted a paltry 37 days before he was beaten by Jack Swagger a few days following 'Mania. Adding insult to injury, Swagger was handed an 82-day run after cashing in his Money In The Bank briefcase. It's a damning verdict of WWE that Swagger's win is more memorable than Jericho's entire reign.
That's a shame, and it's true the match with Edge is so often overlooked when people talk about great WrestleMania matches. Maybe it'd be more fondly remembered had Edge been in better shape (those injuries were really taking a toll), but go back for another viewing and you won't be disappointed.
