Hey guys, Wrestlemania XXVI is only 2 1/2 weeks away and in the 7 1/2 year history of the WWE Brand Extension, there has been only 1 title that has changed hands more times in a row @ Wrestlemania:
The World Heavyweight Championship
The World Heavyweight Championship has been defended in the last 6 Wrestlemanias
Beginning w/Wrestlemania XIX, Triple H retained the World Heavyweight Championship against Booker T. w/thanks to his mentor and friend Ric Flair
But the next 4 years, the World Heavyweight Title has changed hands and they were all won by 4 Winners of the Royal Rumble
In 2004, the late Chris Benoit won the 2004 Royal Rumble lasting 62 mins. and the following night on RAW, thanks to Stone Cold Steve Austin, Benoit came to RAW and challenged Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship
and @ Wrestlemania XX @ Madison Square Garden, he def. Triple H and HBK in the 1st ever Triple Threat World Heavyweight Title Match @ Wrestlemania @ the age of 36
It was also his 2nd World Heavyweight Title win in his career and he was the 1st person to win the WCW and the Big Gold World Heavyweight Championship @ Wrestlemania and he's the 2nd person to win both belts the 1st of course being GOLDBERG
In 2005, Batista would win the Royal Rumble, however, on RAW on President's Day 2005, Batista would soon challenge Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship and @ Wrestlemania 21, he did just that
He won the World Heavyweight Championship @ Wrestlemania @ the age of 35
On June 30th on an episode of SD! after def. Triple H 3 times for the World Heavyweight Championship, Batista got drafted to SD! taking the World Heavyweight Championship w/him and John Cena was drafted to RAW taking the WWE Heavyweight Championship w/him
In 2006, Rey Mysterio won the Royal Rumble and he, too would go on to Wrestlemania and @ Wrestlemania 22 when he won the 2nd Triple Threat World Heavyweight Title Match @ Wrestlemania def. the champion Kurt Angle and Randy Orton to become the NEW World Heavyweight Champion @ the age of 31
In 2007, The Undertaker won the Royal Rumble when he came in @ #30 by 1st Eliminating The Great Khali and after HBK took out Rated-RKO over the top rope, The Undertaker @ the end would eliminate HBK and he would go on to Wrestlemania and @ Wrestlemania 23 in front of 80,000+ fans in Detroit, MI, The Undertaker would def. Batista to become the World Heavyweight Champion for the very 1st time on SD! and it was also his 5th World Heavyweight Title win in his WWE career
In 2008, The Undertaker did it again, this time, he def. Edge to win his 2nd Big Gold World Heavyweight Championship @ Wrestlemania XXIV when he made the Rated-R Superstar submit to the Triangle Choke Hold
He is also the 1st man to win the World Heavyweight Championship more than once @ Wrestlemania
In 2009, John Cena def. Big Show and Edge to win his 2nd World Heavyweight Championship @ Wrestlemania 25th Anniversary
and now, this year, Edge who won the 2010 Royal Rumble will face Chris Jericho for the Big Gold World Heavyweight Championship @ Wrestlemania XXVI and Edge looks to become the 1st ever 6x Big Gold World Heavyweight Champion
and that is your look @ the World Heavyweight Championship: Wrestlemania Style
