10 Best WWE World Champion Vs. World Champion Matches
Battle of the belts!
6. Chris Jericho Vs. Steve Austin - Vengeance 2001
With the Invasion in the rearview, WWE decided to unify the WWE and WCW Heavyweight Titles and crown an Undisputed Champion at Vengeance.
A four-man tournament was devised, with Steve Austin defending the WWE Title against Kurt Angle before The Rock defended the World Heavyweight Title against Chris Jericho.
The winners of the two matches would then meet in the final with both belts up for grabs.
Stone Cold overcame the Olympic Hero and Y2J dethroned the People's Champion, setting up Austin and Jericho for all the gold.
What makes this one stick out so much was that, not only was it a pay-per-view main event, but that Jericho actually won! Yes, the former WCW castoff beat the two biggest stars in the industry, back-to-back, on the same night.
It took a little more than the 82nd Airborne to get it done, with untold shenanigans and interference, but it gave Jericho bragging rights for the rest of his career.
The action itself was just fine, if hardly a classic. This was all about the moment and cementing Jericho as the man to clean up the mess of Triple H and Stephanie McMahon's dog Lucy.
