10 Reversed WWE Title Changes
Not every WWE title change is permanent
6. Owen Hart - WWE Championship (1994)
When you look at the ‘best’ wrestlers to have never won the WWE Title, it’s fair to say that Owen Hart would be at the top of most fans’ lists.
The Rocket was only ever in serious contention for the title when feuding with big brother Bret in 1994, though he was unable to unseat The Hitman during their high-profile series.
He came close on one occasion, however, when he ‘beat’ Bret in a Lumberjack Match during a mammoth Superstars television taping.
Taking place weeks before their classic Cage Match at SummerSlam, the younger Hart pinned his older sibling following interference from Jim Neidhart.
The referee called for the bell and the heel contingent came into the ring and raised Owen on their shoulders, mimicking Bret’s own title-winning celebration from WrestleMania 10.
However, once a second referee pointed out the interference (complete with a replay on the video wall), the match was re-started and the Excellence of Execution retained. The match was later released on the Wham Bam Bodyslam! VHS.
