Due to the quantity of title reigns being so high, we have seen great title reigns as well as some forgettable ones. Let's find out what was the best reign and the worst reign of each of the members.
8 Ric Flair: Worst - WWE Championship - 1992 (2nd Reign)
Randy Savage and Ric Flair had a feud throughout 1992. During Savage's WWE Title defense against Ultimate Warrior at SummerSlam, Ric Flair got involved in the match which caused it to end in a count-out.

As a result, Savage defended his title against Flair on an episode of Prime Time Wrestling. Flair worked on Savage's injured leg and won the match. Flair however quickly lost the belt to Bret Hart next month, as this was just a transitional reign.
7 Ric Flair: Best - WWE Championship - 1992 (1st Reign)
Ric Flair has won a lot of championships in his wrestling career but never in the WWE until Royal Rumble 1992. Flair won the Royal Rumble match starting at no. 3. Although Flair didn't wrestle on TV during this reign, his backstage promos and interviews were very good to cover up for it.
He was often accompanied by his "Executive Consultant" Mr. Perfect and the duo was very entertaining. The feud with Randy Savage was very personal and very well worked which resulted in an absolute classic at WrestleMania, where Savage won the gold. Although it didn't last very long, it was still a very memorable title reign.
6 Batista: Worst - WWE Championship - 2009 (1st Reign)
After years of dominance as the World Heavyweight Champion, Batista finally won the WWE Championship for the first time in the year 2009, when he defeated Randy Orton in a Steel Cage match at Extreme Rules.
There's not much to talk about this reign though as it didn't last long. Batista had to relinquish the belt just a day later, as he had torn his left bicep the night before.
5 Batista: Best - WWE Championship - 2010 (2nd Reign)
This might come off as surprising, but Batista's 2nd WWE title reign, which lasted just over a month and was his last ever title reign in WWE was actually his best. Batista was given a title shot by Vince McMahon at Elimination Chamber, right after Cena won the gold in the PPV's namesake match. As expected, he defeated Cena to win the title.
The title reign didn't last long, but it was easily some of the best work of Batista's WWE career. His promos were excellent during this reign, and his feud with John Cena was also great. The match where Batista lost the belt at WrestleMania 26 was also very good and a fitting end to this stellar reign.
4 Randy Orton: Worst - WWE Championship - 2007 (1st Reign)
At No Mercy 2007, Randy Orton was scheduled to challenge John Cena for the WWE Title in a Last Man Standing Match. However, Cena got injured, and thus the title was vacated.
Instead of having a match for the title, Vince McMahon gave the title to Orton. However, the title reign couldn't even start properly as Triple H defeated Randy Orton in the opener of the PPV.
3 Randy Orton: Best - World Heavyweight Championship - 2011 (2nd Reign)
Randy Orton often didn't have many good reigns as a babyface, but things were different in 2011. 5 days after Christian had won the World Title, Orton challenged him for the belt at SmackDown, and actually won the match.
Christian's reign ending so early was unfortunate, but the feud which followed between the two was incredible. They had quality matches at Over the Limit, Capitol Punishment and Money in the Bank, where the reign came to an end.
2 Triple H: Worst - WWE Championship - 2007 (6th Reign)
As mentioned earlier, Triple H defeated Randy Orton to win the WWE Title at No Mercy 2007. But, that wasn't the only time the title changed hands that night.

After Triple H defeated Umaga to retain the belt, he defended his title once again in the main event of the show against Randy Orton in a Last Man Standing Match, but lost the belt. This was very random stuff, but history was created as the WWE Championship changed hands 3 times in a single night.
1 Triple H: Best - WWE Championship - 2000 (3rd Reign)
2000 was one of the best year in the career of The Game. It's not a surprise that his best World Title reign also comes from the same year. He defeated The Big Show on Raw to win the belt.
Following the win, we saw an amazing feud between Triple H and Cactus Jack as they had great matches at both Royal Rumble, and No Way Out. Triple H also main evented WrestleMania 2000 as part of this reign where he defended the title in an elimination match involving The Rock, Mick Foley and The Big Show. The end of the reign came at Backlash, where he lost the title to The Rock.
