Hey guys, w/Summerslam just 2 days away, I thought we take a look back @ the 2 Youngest World Heavyweight Champions in the history of the WWE:

Brock Lesnar & Randy Orton

the last time that the WWE Heavyweight Title and the World Heavyweight Title changed hands was when these 2 men won them.

6 years ago, Brock Lesnar won the WWE Heavyweight Title @ the young age of 25 in Uniondale, NY, making him the youngest man to win the WWE Heavyweight Gold in the history of the WWE.

Brock Lesnar def. The Rock in 2002, just 1 year after the Rock won the WCW World Heavyweight Title from Booker T.

It was the last time that the WWE Heavyweight Title changed hands @ Summerslam.

Brock Lesnar would then go on to become a 3x WWE Heavyweight Champion def. not only The Rock, but also future TNA World Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle @ Wrestlemania XIX and again on SD! just 3 days before RAW's Unforgiven PPV.

and also, 2 years after Brock won the WWE Heavyweight Title @ Summerslam, someone else held Championship Gold:

Randy Orton

4 years ago, Randy Orton lost the I-C Heavyweight Title to Edge @ Vengeance, but then 4 weeks later, Randy Orton won the World Heavyweight Championship from the late Chris Benoit, making him the Youngest World Heavyweight Champion in the history of the WWE.

It was also, the only time so far that the Big Gold World Heavyweight Championship changed hands @ Summerslam.

Orton won the Big Gold in Trish's Hometown of Toronto, Ontario Canada

Randy Orton has now held 4 titles in the WWE:

The WWE I-C Heavyweight Championship @ the age of 23 @ RAW's Armageddon PPV back in December of 2003 when he def. Rob Van Dam
The World Heavyweight Championship @ the age of 24 @ Summerslam 2004 when he def. the late Chris Benoit
The WWE World Tag Team Championship @ the age of 26 on RAW back in Manchester, England when they def. Ric Flair & Rowdy Roddy Piper
The WWE Heavyweight Championship @ No Mercy 2007 (twice) when Cena was stripped by Vince McMahon, Orton wa awarded the belt and Triple H took the title from him, only to lose it back to Orton @ the end of the night

and that's your look @ the Youngest World Heavyweight Champions in the History of the WWE:

Brock Lesnar & Randy Orton
