The WWE Championship is the most prized possession in professional wrestling. In its long history of six decades, only fifty three men have held the prestigious championship. Among the fifty three men, thirteen have held the title in this decade.

WWE recently uploaded a special edition video of their Top 10 Series. In the list, they have compiled the Top 20 WWE Title changes of the decade. Mind you, the title has changed hands forty-seven times from 2010 to now, making these 20 the absolute best pickings.
