Stats: 2x champion (134-day combined reign) Sean X-Pac Waltman kicked off his epic return to the WWE in 1998 by joining the D-Generation X stable alongside his long-time real life buddy, Triple H. As a part of DX, X-Pac was consistently in the upper mid-card portion of WWEs roster, but without a solo championship to call his own until he defeated DLo Brown for the European strap on the September 21, 1998 episode of Raw. He dropped the belt back to Brown after just two weeks, but beat DLo again at 1998s Judgement Day pay-per-view event in October, kicking off a lengthy 120-day reign. Unfortunately, X-Pac had the indignity being the first WWE superstar to lose a title to a McMahon, when he was pinned by Shane McMahon in a tag team match that pitted X-Pac and Triple H against Shane and Kane, airing on the February 15, 1999 episode of Raw. Per the stipulations of the match, if Kane or Shane pinned X-Pac, they would win the championship. X-Pac lost the title thanks to some shenanigans involving his presumed allies, Chyna and Triple H (who would fully turn on their fellow DX member at Wrestlemania XV during X-Pacs rematch against Shane).
