10 Great But Short Wrestling Title Reigns
While not long, these title reigns were top quality
9. Jon Moxley - Interim AEW World Championship - 70 Days
From one Shield member to another and from a midcard title in one promotion to another federation’s top prize…sort of.
When CM Punk got injured shortly after becoming AEW World Champion, Tony Khan broke the glass that he keeps Jon Moxley behind in case of emergencies. Moxley then took a bump on that glass and bled everywhere, just because.
The former Dean Ambrose was booked to defeat Hiroshi Tanahashi at Forbidden Door to become AEW’s interim world champion. Many assumed he was just keeping the belt warm for Punk’s return, but this reign turned out to be way more than filler.
Mox defended the title pretty much every week on Dynamite, defeating the likes of Brody King, Rush, and Chris Jericho. Then, when Punk did come back, he beat him too in a shocking squash!
By the time Punk finally beat Mox to reclaim the gold, the former Hound of Justice had only had the belt for a total of 70 days, but had put on more excellent bouts in that time than other world champions who reigned for much, much longer.
