2. Kenny Dykstra – World Tag Team Championship – 20 years, 18 days
Yet again, we have a wrestler earning a spot on our list through a tag team belt. There’s something to be said with this trend, though, as clearly the WWE is more comfortable easing younger superstars into success through group wrestling rather than immediately throwing them into the fire with singles competitions. The benefit is clear: they develop skills and aren’t expected to entirely carry the show on their backs.
Dykstra is one such wrestler the league developed from an early age. He was signed to the league by 18, making his debut a year later. A year after that, he won a shocking World Tag Team Championship match by beating Kane and Big Show, hoisting the belt while he was only 20, making him the second youngest champion of any kind.
