Youngest champions in WWE history: The WWE is full of up-start wrestlers looking to make it big. Usually, the league’s upper management will relegate potential future stars to developmental leagues like the Ohio Valley Wrestling league. This provides a unique opportunity for those interested in becoming superstars, as it gives them a chance to hone their wrestling skills, their characters, as well as their ability to move the fans through the microphone.

Sometimes, though, a wrestler arrives on the scene at an incredibly young age. Managing to gain a foothold in the upper leagues is no easy task, yet some rather young wrestlers have actually managed to not only do so, but go on to become league champions! It’s the type of start to a professional career that any aspiring employee strives for, and sometimes it is the foundation for a hall-of-fame worthy body of work.
The WWE has been around for quite some time, and throughout that time a lot of records have been set. We’ve scoured through the history books to find the young individuals who set records as the youngest champions ever to hoist a golden belt in the WWE.

Honorable Mention #1 – Brock Lesnar – WWE World Heavyweight Championship – 25 years, 1 month, 13 days
If there’s anything to be learned when analyzing Brock Lesnar’s career it’s that he’s used to winning. He’s a gargantuan wrestling phenomenon, and he’s proven to be an absolute beast in the ring over his career. He’s found success not only in professional wrestling, but in other fighting sports like the UFC practicing mixed martial arts.
Lesnar’s accomplishment is just shy of a spot on the list but that doesn’t detract from his accomplishment. Many of the previous wrestlers earned spots through tag team championships. Lesnar made it all on his own. He holds the record for the youngest wrestler to ever win the World Heavyweight Championship at the age of 25. In order to do so, he had to take down the incredibly popular Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who was the previous record holder at the time.
