It was a good run for this title. It really grew on me, it was basically the WWE Network era title. We have some real memorable moments with this title and some interesting runs. What are your favorite memories of this title? When you think of this title, who immediately comes to mind? My two favorite moments of this design were the night Reigns/Rollins/Ambrose all had the title at MITB 2016 and Kofimania at Wrestlemania 35. There were some good times with that belt.

Voted Styles, but it's actually Ambrose/Styles and maybe Wyatt/Orton, because the 2016/2017 Litdown! Era was something else.

Bryan in the lead, I guess many people looked back fondly as him being the hemp champion of the world.

To the four people who voted for Jinder Mahal, please explain why you voted for a roided up jabroni who had no business even being given a title match and who could barely work, who made the show impossible to watch in HD, and whose matches were all awful except for the part where the Singh Brothers got killed.
And that match with Nakamura, Jesus. Shinsuke should have left Jinder lying in a pool of his own blood and bacne pus after Mahal cut that promo, instread we got flashbacks to Booker T vs Triple H at 'mania and one of a myriad of Nakamura bottle jobs.

Kofi Kingston. His actual run as champ was nothing special, but the moment he won the title was one of my favorite WWE moments of all time. Kofimania really should have closed out the show that year (the women's main event angle really fizzled out by the time Mania came around) And if his winning was one of my favorite WWE moments, the way he lost is one of my least favorite WWE moments. I don't mind him dropping the the belt; but a 10 second squash on Smackdown and just got kicked right back down the card? They did Kofi dirty.

put some respect on the Baron of Bacne So now I know one of the people who voted Mahal in this thread: Although I will say that Mahal escaping with the title like a supervillain in that pic is funny.

If WrestleMania had been two nights at 35, Kofi definitely gets one of the main event slots. That build, with the New Day having his back the whole way, the whole roster rallying behind him, the Usos having one of the ultimate Babyface moments, and the actual match, featuring a Daniel Bryan who had become the very thing he fought against?
Perfect.

I always thought that this was a good looking, simple belt design. Even non wrestling fans know exactly what this belt is when they see it. Seth cashing in and winning it at WrestleMania 31 is my favorite memory of it.

Cena also had a very brief transitional reign with the belt after beating Styles at the RR in 2017 and losing to Wyatt the following month at EC.
I enjoyed a good chunk of AJ's year-long reign following that, though it's not perfect. I just liked him during that period and felt he was one of the few guys really keeping me watching the tv shows still at that time. Bryan ending it and beginning his heel turn was awesome, too. Then you get Kofi's reign following that, which was one of the all-timer great WM stories/matches. His was just okay, but he did have a variety of opponents and some decent bouts, at least.

Bryan is probably the right answer but I voted Drew think he did a solid job as Pandemic champion and really looked the part before being thrown to the wayside for Roman basically.
