WWE/World Heavyweight Titles: Part 2 Quiz

Answer: Nobody

General Manager Eric Bischoff announced that "Raw" would hold its own heavyweight title as "Smackdown!" had its own and awarded the new World Heavyweight Championship title belt to Triple H. He held it for two months before losing it to Shawn Michaels at "Survivor Series" 2002.

Answer: John Cena

The first three Elimiation Chamber Matches were contested for the World Heavyweight Championship. The first time the WWE Championship was contested in an Elimination Chamber Match was at "New Year's Revolution" 2006. John Cena defeated Carlito, Chris Masters, Kane, Shawn Michaels, and Kurt Angle.

Answer: Zero

In the first eight years since its creation, neither the WWE Championship nor the World Heavyweight Championship had ever changed hands in a Hell in a Cell Match. WWE Champion Triple H defeated Cactus Jack at "No Way Out" 2000. WWE Champion Kurt Angle retained his title in a six-man Hell in a Cell Match at "Armageddon" 2000. WWE Champion Brock Lesnar defeated Undertaker at "No Mercy" 2002. World Heavyweight Champion Triple H defeated Kevin Nash at "Bad Blood" 2003. World Heavyweight Champion Batista defeated Triple H at "Vengeance" 2005.

Answer: Pedro Morales

Pedro Morales defeated Ivan Koloff on February 8, 1971 in New York City. Eddie Guerrero became the second Latino to win the WWE Championship by defeating Brock Lesnar at "No Way Out" 2004. Rey Mysterio became the third Latino to win heavyweight gold by pinning Randy Orton at "Wrestlemania 22" to win the World Heavyweight Championship.

Answer: Diesel

On November 26, 1994, not only did Diesel defeat Bob Backlund to win his first WWE Championship, but he did it in a mere eight seconds. As most WWE Championship Matches last anywhere between 10-30 minutes on average, this one definitely set a tough record to beat. Diesel would hold the title until "Survivor Series" 1995.

Answer: Stone Cold Steve Austin

Stone Cold Steve Austin, originally scheduled to be involved in the WWE Championship Match that night, became the victim of a hit and run accident earlier that night. It then seemed as if the match would simply take place as a one-on-one match between Triple H and The Rock until Big Show was announced as Austin's replacement. Even after being involved in a "Survivor Series" Elimination Match prior to this match, (a match he won single-handedly), he still defeated Triple H and The Rock to win the title.

Answer: Chris Jericho

Chris Jericho had previously won the European, Intercontinental, and WWE Tag Team Championships before winning his first WWE Undisputed Championship at "Vengeance" 2001. Shawn Michaels had previously won the Intercontinental, WWE Tag Team, and WWE Championships before winning his first European Championship on September 20, 1997. Triple H had previously held the Intercontinental, European, and WWE Championships before winning his first WWE Tag Team Championship Match at "Backlash" 2001 with Stone Cold Steve Austin. Kurt Angle had previously held the European, Intercontinental, and WWE Championships before his first WWE Tag Team Championship victory at "No Mercy" 2002 alongside Chris Benoit.

Answer: Stone Cold Steve Austin

Stone Cold Steve Austin left as he entered, the WWE Champion. According to the stipulations of the match, if either WWE Tag Team Champion, (Undertaker or Kane), pinned either Austin or Triple H, the title of the man pinned would go to the man that pinned him and the title of the other man would go to the man who did not make the pin. Likewise, if Stone Cold or Triple H pinned either opponent, they would become the new WWE Tag Team Champions.

Intercontinental Champion Triple H pinned Kane after hitting him in the head with a sledgehammer. Triple H was also the only man incapable of leaving with the WWE Championship as per the stipulations of the match.

Answer: Triple H

Stone Cold Steve Austin, Rey Mysterio, and Batista all won their first heavyweight titles at "Wrestlemania". Rey Mysterio won his first World Heavyweight Championship at "Wrestlemania 22". Stone Cold Steve Austin won his first WWE Championship at "Wrestlemania XIV". Batista won his first World Heavyweight Championship at "Wrestlemania 21". Triple H won his first WWE Championship the night after "Summerslam" 1999.

Answer: Madison Square Garden

"Survivor Series" 2002 was held in the birthplace of "Wrestlemania", Madison Square Garden. This event featured the debut of the Elimination Chamber Match designed by General Manager Eric Bischoff. The match was contested between Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho, Kane, Booker T, and Rob Van Dam for the World Heavyweight Championship. Shawn Michaels defeated the last remaining superstar Triple H via "Sweet Chin Music" to capture his first heavyweight title reign in almost five years.

Answer: Intercontinental Championship

The stakes of this highly-anticipated match were raised when not just the WWE Championship, but also the Intercontinental Championship would be contested in a single match at "Wrestlemania VI". In this match, WWE Champion Hulk Hogan suffered his first "Wrestlemania" pinfall loss to Intercontinental Champion Ultimate Warrior.

Answer: Stretcher Match

After brutally injuring Rey Mysterio and putting him on a stretcher at "Backlash" 2003, Big Show had become fixated with the idea of putting his opponents on stretchers. WWE Champion Brock Lesnar had decided enough was enough and challenged him to a Strecther Match at "Judgment Day" 2003. During the match, Rey Mysterio interferred, allowing Lesnar enough time to drive in a forklift.

After an "F-5", Lesnar rolled Big Show onto the strecther placed on the forklift and then drove the forklift past the yellow line to retain the title.

Answer: Batista

Batista won his first World Heavyweight Championship by defeating Triple H at "Wrestlemania 21". In January 2006, Batista surrendered the World Heavyweight Championship due to a bicep injury. No one had ever pinned Batista or made him submit to win the World Heavyweight title from him to end his first title reign.

Answer: Shawn Michaels

European Champion Shawn Michaels won the WWE Championship from Bret "Hitman" Hart at "Survivor Series" 1997, making him the first man to hold the two titles at the same time. Since the European Championship was disposed of in 2002, Shawn Michaels remains the only man in history to accomplish this feat.

Answer: Edge and Lita

Edge won his second WWE Championship by pinning Rob Van Dam on July 3, 2006. A few weeks later, with Edge's help, his girlfriend Lita pinned Mickie James to become the WWE Women's Champion. This made them the second on-screen couple to simultaneously hold those two titles. They would both lose their titles at "Unforgiven" 2006.
