Great thread bro.

Gotta be Bryan. Great promos, great matches, great character. Very memorable title reign. Kinda like Mizs in 2010.

AJ is number 2. He's first title reign had some unbelievable matches and character work. 2nd title reign had its bad bits but had some great moments.

Ambrose first world title reign started off with a bang. Really was on fire in early 2016. Of course it wasn't very long and maybe that was blamed on he's attitude. But I couldn't think of a better champion at the time to be the face to kick off Smackdown Live.

Jinder title reign may have been during Smackdowns worst run since the 2016 brand split. But for some reason I remember so much about this reign. Also he had a great match with AJ in Manchester.

John Cena had a two week title reign. That sucks. But he had that great match against AJ and a great elimination chamber match.

Randy Orton reign was just as pathetic. A transitional champion for jinder ffs. At least he won the rumble and had a good story going into Mania.

Bray is the worst Champ. A even more pathetic reign then Orton and cenas. Shit House.

Not going to judge Kofis title reign just yet. As it stands he is behind AJ though.

Got it spot on, didn't I?

Might as well just close the thread now. Nobody is beating that

 

[Crash]

AJ Styles.

 

[The Sheik]

AJ Styles.. Nobody on that list comes close to his title reign. He consistently put on great matches. He made the WWE Title feel important.

 

[Jay-Ashley]

AJ.

 

[Mr. Roman Empire]

Jinder Mahal

 

[Grievous 3D]

Well...Styles of course.

 

[Redboy123@]

Daniel Bryan's reign eclipses Styles last reign.

 

[Zardnaar]

AJ, then the New Daniel Bryan IMHO.

 

[Grievous 3D]

Styles...then Jinder...

Remember when Jinder Mahal was the WWE Champion?

Do you remember that?

DO YOU?!

 

[Unbesiegbar]

AJ Styles first heel run was awesome, caught me by surprise decent feud great promos. The second one besides his win and match with Brock was snoresville. Well his promos with Joe and Nakamura were funny but forgettable. Who's your daddy?

 

[Redboy123@]

AJ had some stinkers with Joe and Nakamura.

Easily AJ Styles for me. It's not really a far competition since he got two quality reigns, and had the added benefit of taking the Championship of Jinder Mahal, which is always a plus. I kinda stopped watching WWE altogether around Extreme Rules because I was more than a little bitter with how they were treating Asuka, so I kinda missed out on the Styles/Joe feud and whatever Styles did after that til he dropped it to Bryan, but ultimately I liked the feud with Nakamura quite a bit, even if their Mania match was awful. After that probably Daniel Bryan, just because Kofi's is too early on to properly judge. I've really enjoyed Bryan's character work since winning the Championship, and the added touch of the Hemp Championship was a fantastic touch that certainly adds to his reign. But his matches didn't do much for me in this period, I thought the Lesnar match was tonal mess and kind of a structural retread of the Styles match the year prior (which would be fine, if they match wasn't set-up exactly the same as it was the year prior too), and the match with Styles at the Rumble was mostly a slog with an unsatisfying finish. Liked the match with Kofi at Mania, and haven't seen the rest of his defenses/big matches, so it's possible those would change my opinion. After him, Kofi, just because of the context surrounding it, and the amount of build to his moment. Then Ambrose, who had some quality promo and matches but was too short to compete with the others.

The other reigns were trash. Cena's my favorite of them, if only because the Rumble match with Styles was great. Wyatt should've never won the Championship, but at least he had the common decency to lose it immediately, Jinder Mahal held the title for way too long without ever really improving, and almost all his title defenses ended in the same exact manner. Oh and Orton held it at one point, I guess I'd put him below Cena but above Wyatt since I actually like Orton as opposed to Wyatt, who I've pretty much always disliked until a couple days ago when he be a children's TV host.
