9 Most Obscure WWE WrestleMania Records You Need To Know

2. Losing Two Titles, One WrestleMania

While title changes at WrestleMania are a dime a dozen, there is a rare subset within that universe: wrestlers who lost two titles at the same Mania.

Double champions are not common in WWE. There have been a handful throughout the years, but very few of them have defended both at WrestleMania. An argument could be made that the company’s top championship, the Undisputed WWE Championship, is still technically a double title since it carries the lineage of both the Universal and WWE titles. However, it’s represented by one belt and its two halves have never been defended independently.

Still, fans have witnessed two instances where a champion has lost two separate titles at a single WrestleMania. None other than Kurt Angle lost both the European and Intercontinental Championships at WrestleMania 2000. Angle came in as a double champ and defended both titles against Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho in a triple threat where the first fall was for the IC title and the second was for the European Championship. Benoit pinned Jericho for the IC title, and Jericho beat Benoit for the European title, meaning Angle lost both titles without being pinned or submitted.

More recently, Judgment Day lost the Raw and SmackDown Tag Team Championships in a ladder match at WrestleMania 40. But wait, weren’t these lumped together as the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship while the Usos, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, Judgment Day, and Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes held them? That is true, but the individual titles were always represented, and they were defended independently on a handful of occasions while the Usos held them.

At WrestleMania 40, both sets of tag titles were hung above the ring, allowing A-Town Down Under and R-Truth and The Miz to retrieve them to become the SmackDown and Raw tag champs, respectively.

Forty years of history, and this has only happened twice, which makes it a unique piece of WWE trivia.
