Edge was the defending champion heading into the event but was quickly pinned by Jeff Hardy, guaranteeing a new WWE Champion. It came down to two legends: Triple H & The Undertaker who went toe-to-toe for the last several minutes, but it was the Cerebral Assassin who managed to claim the victory after hitting the Deadman with the Pedigree for the three count. Triple H would go on to WrestleMania and successfully defend the title against Randy Orton.

Backlash 2000

Despite being the smallest man in the match Crash Holly left with his title!

6-Pack Challenge

One of the most entertaining stories from the millennium year was little Crash Holly and the Hardcore Championship. He would defend it against anyone at any time at any place, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. But before he made that stipulation he had his hands full with 5 challengers all at once. If you haven't seen this, check it out purely for the innovation by these 6 men when using the Backlash stage as a weapon and prop!

Night Of Champions 2009

Some of the best talent on the RAW roster squared off for the US title

Just last year at Night Of Champions we witnessed a great wrestling contest as Kofi Kingston put up his newly won United States Championship against the likes of Primo, The Miz, Jack Swagger and former champions MVP & Carlito. Kofi managed to leave with his title, the year before he left with the Intercontinental Championship. Will Kofi leave three Night Of Champions with gold when he steps up against Dolph Ziggler this Sunday?

WrestleMania 22

Rob Van Dam became the second man to take advantage of the MITB briefcase

Money In The Bank

Following the success Money In The Bank brought Edge the year before, WWE renewed its now annual Ladder Match for the second year running at WrestleMania as Rob Van Dam captured the briefcase to earn himself a guaranteed WWE Championship shot any time over the next 12 months. Van Dam would use the briefcase at ECW One Night Stand and defeated John Cena for the WWE Championship declaring himself the new ECW Champion and also keeping the WWE belt!

No Way Out 2008

After missing WrestleMania 23, Triple H went on to challenge for the WWE title at WM24

Normally the winner of the Royal Rumble challenges for the WWE Title at WrestleMania but with John Cena opting to use his 'Mania shot at No Way Out an Elimination Chamber match was set up to determine who would go to WrestleMania 24. Elimination Chamber veterans Shawn Michaels & Chris Jericho couldn't take advantage of their knowledge as they, along with JBL and Umaga were all eliminated leaving Jeff Hardy and Triple H alone in the chamber. As the WWE Universe held its breath, thinking Jeff Hardy finally reached the top, the Game hit the Charismatic Enigma with a Pedigree and won yet another Elimination Chamber.

Armageddon 2000

In a repeat of KOTR 98, The Undertaker threw Rikishi from the top of the Cell

WWF Championship
Hell In The Cell
Kurt Angle def. Stone Cold, Triple H, The Undertaker, The Rock and Rikishi

Kurt Angle was on the end of having the best debut year in wrestling history, he'd won the Intercontinental Championship, European Championship, Hardcore Championship, King Of The Ring, defeated The Rock for the WWF Championship and pinned The Undertaker at Survivor Series to keep the title. But at Armageddon he had to defend against 5 other men inside a Hell in the Cell, a match so brutal it has never been repeated. Kurt Angle continued his success by leaving with WWF title around his waist.

WrestleMania 21

Edge has cashed in two briefcases, and been cashed in on once!

Money In The Bank
Ladder Match
Edge def. Chris Jericho, Kane, Chris Benoit, Christian and Shelton Benjamin

Nothing beats an original. It's the same situation here, the first ever Money In The Bank was held in Hollywood, CA at WrestleMania 21, 3 former Champions - 3 future Champions - but all them first needed to claim that ladder and unhook the briefcase. The Rated R Superstar would win and go on to cash in 10 months later against John Cena at New Years Revolution to win his first of nine World Championships.

SummerSlam 2003

The Elimination Chamber is so brutal, it ended the WWE career of Kevin Nash

World Heavyweight Championship
Elimination Chamber
Triple H def. Goldberg, Randy Orton, Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho and Kevin Nash

10 months earlier, Triple H stepped inside the first ever Elimination Chamber to defend his World Heavyweight Championship, and realized it's not something you want to take likely so this time around, he made sure his protege and fellow Evolution member Randy Orton was also in the match. The numbers game worked for Triple H, as it was Evolution member Ric Flair who slide The Game a sledgehammer to which he used to hit Goldberg in the head, blocking the Spear and getting the pin.

Unforgiven 1999

Stone Cold was the outside enforcer for the vacant WWF title match

WWF Championship
6-Pack Challenge
Triple H def. The Rock, Big Show, Mankind, British Bulldog and Kane

When Triple H challenged Mr. McMahon to a fight on one of the first episodes of Smackdown in 1999. He didn't think that he would lose the fight and McMahon would be crowned the WWF Champion. However, a few days later the boss did the right thing and gave up the title and made a 6-Pack Challenge for the Unforgiven pay-per-view, the rules were simple, two men would be in the ring with 4 on the apron and can be tagged in by anyone, first pinfall wins. Stone Cold Steve Austin was the guest enforcer and had to dig deep to find it in himself to count the pinfall for Triple H to win and begin his second reign as WWF Champion.

Survivor Series 2002

Shawn Michaels was wrestling only his second match in 4 and a half years

World Heavyweight Championship
Elimination Chamber
Shawn Michaels def. Triple H, Chris Jericho, Kane, Rob Van Dam and Booker T

In one of the most remarkable comebacks in the history of this business, we saw Shawn Michaels a few months prior to this match wrestle Triple H at SummerSlam in his first match since retiring in March 1998 due to a broken back. Shawn pinned Triple H that night after a roll up and this night, at Survivor Series he pinned him after a little bit of Sweet Chin Music to become the World's Heavyweight Champion and guarantee that good 'ol HBK was back in business!
