10 Great But Short Wrestling Title Reigns

While not long, these title reigns were top quality

While a lot of focus is placed on how long a wrestler can hold onto a championship for, some performers achieve more in a handful of weeks with a belt than others do in years. 

All of these reigns lasted for less than 90 days, but were extremely impactful, important, or entertaining. 

There are a lot of wrestlers currently on long championship runs that could learn a lot from these examples. 

This is 10 Great But Short Wrestling Title Reigns. 

10. Seth Rollins - WWE Intercontinental Championship - 71 Days

Winning a championship at WrestleMania is pretty good. Becoming a Grand Slam Champion is also pretty good. Winning a championship that makes you a Grand Slam Champion at WrestleMania? Well, that’s pretty much as good as it gets.

This is what happened to Seth Rollins when he won a triple threat match against The Miz and Finn Balor to become Intercontinental Champion in the opening match of WrestleMania 34. 

Rollins was extremely over at the time and one of the best workers in the company, so what he did next made total sense. 

Rollins would put on great matches with a variety of opponents across this reign, including a four-way ladder match at Greatest Royal Rumble and a stonking singles match with Miz at Backlash, both of which were the best things on those godforsaken shows. 

It all came to an end when Rollins was unseated by Dolph Ziggler 71 days into his reign, kicking off their rivalry that would stretch out for most of the year. 

He may have only had the belt for just over two months, but the Architect built quite the Intercontinental legacy in that time.
