WWE hit a major milestone this past weekend.
As we found out on Tuesday’s SmackDown Live, Jinder Mahal is the 50th superstar to ever hold the WWE Championship. A reddit user took this information and ran with it, pitting the first 25 champions against the second 25. The result? 25 dream matches that you’ll probably want to go create on WWE 2K 17 immediately.

Up Next: Why Jinder Mahal Dropped His Nickname
Vince McMahon was only 18 when Buddy Rogers won the first WWE Championship in 1963. In this format, they would face off as Vince was the 26th WWE Championโa title he would only hold for four days.
Bruno Sanmartino may have held the WWE Championship for over 7 years, but could he get past The Big Show in his prime? Kurt Angle and Ivan Koloff would have had an amazing USA pride match back in the day as would John Cena vs The Iron Sheik.
The most interesting matches on the list to me would be seeing Daniel Bryan taking on his mentor, HBK and Stone Cold Steve Austin taking back the WWE’s Yard in a match against Roman Reigns.
There’s hardly a bad match in the bunch, but Diesel and Alberto Del Rio is one we could probably live without.
