Ranking Every WWE Grand Slam Champion From Worst To Best

13. Booker T

Booker T entered WWE a double titleholder thanks to a Champion Vs Champion victory on the final edition of WCW Nitro, but his relatively quick surrenders of the WCW World and United States straps were part of a wider rebuild of the former Harlem Heat member.

One of the few legitimate stars to cross the divide that Vince McMahon actually seemed to have faith in back in 2001, 'The Book' allowed himself to be completely torn down as a heel before beginning a new ascent to prominence as a babyface in 2002.

Having briefly scored a bizarrely enjoyable doubles reign with Test during the dying days of the WCW Invasion, Booker won Hardcore and Intercontinental Titles in 2002 and 2003 after humiliating losses to Triple H removed any hope of him reaching the upper echelon on Raw.

A heel turn upon moving to SmackDown in 2004 didn't look to be improving things, but it foreshadowed a superlative spell as a deluded King in 2006 that would finally afford him a route back into main events. Reunited with the gold belt he wore famously in Atlanta, King Booker was a joyous heel titleholder on SmackDown before a 2007 switch to Raw facilitated yet another humbling defeat to Triple H and an acrimonious Wellness-related exit from the promotion.
