Kurt Angle
Oct. 22, 2000 - Feb. 25, 2001
Capping an amazing rookie campaign, Kurt Angle upset The Rock at the No Mercy pay-per-view to capture his first WWE Championship. Angle's reign lasted four months. Over those four months, Angle proved his worth as WWE Champion by beating the likes of Triple H and the Undertaker, live on pay-per-view. Angle even successfully defended his championship in a six-man Hell in a Cell Match at Armageddon 2000 that also featured Stone Cold, The Rock, Undertaker, Rikishi and Triple H.
