Alberto Del Rio (84 Days)

Alberto Del Rio was one of the most-pushed Superstars in his early days. He was in the World Heavyweight Championship picture 6 months after he debuted. He won both the Royal Rumble and the Money in the Bank ladder match in the same year. He’s also a two-time WWE Champion.

The summer of 2011 saw so many title changes that it’s hard to keep track. It was Cena, then Punk, then Rey Mysterio, then ADR, then Cena, then ADR again, before finally going back to Punk. Del Rio’s first reign clocked in at 35 days. He cashed in his Money in the Bank Contract on CM Punk and then lost it to Cena 7 weeks later at Night of  Champions. He won it back at Hell in a Cell, and he held the title for 49 more days before dropping it to CM Punk at Survivor Series.

It looks like Del Rio isn’t coming back soon, so it’s safe to say Jinder will hold the title longer than he ever did.
