Rey Mysterio's title history
World Heavyweight Championship
Rey Mysterio isn't the most intimidating Superstar to ever step foot into WWE, weighing in 75 kg and being tall five-foot-six. But you can never understimate the heart of a champion. And throughout Mysterio's long and illustrious career, spanning more than 15 years, that's exactly what the Master of the 619 is - a champion. Rey Mysterio became the biggest champion of all time when he defeated Kurt Angle and Randy Orton in a Triple Threat Match at WrestleMania 22 to become the World Heavyweight Champion. Mysterio won the World Heavyweight Championship once.
Cruiserweight Championship
Rey won the Cruiserweight Championship eight times during his career (5 times while in WCW and 3 times in WWE). One of his matches was against Tajiri which was escorted to the ring by his associates Akio and Sakoda. During the match, the referee was knocked unconscious allowing Tajiri’s friends to interfere. During the melee, Tajiri attempted to spit green mist into Rey’s eyes, only to hit Sakoda by accident. The misfire led to the end for Tajiri, as Rey rolled him up and captured his second Cruiserweight Championship since joining WWE. The other two victories were against Jamie Noble and Matt Hardy.
Tag Team Championship
Mysterio was the Tag Team Champion for four times. One of Mysterio's Tag Team Championship was won on the 17 th of November 2002, when Rey teamed up with Edge who then faced Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit in a 2 out of 3 Falls Match on Smackdown. Later in 2004, Rey defeated Kenzo Suzuki and Rene Dupree after he and Rob Van Dam (RVD) proved to be too much for Kenzo and Dupree which ended that Rey and RVD captured the Championship. The victory marked Rey’s second run as WWE Tag Team Champion. Rey won his third Tag Team Championship after teaming up with his good friend Eddie Guerrero to take over the Basham Brothers at No Way Out.
The most recent Tag Team Championship won by Rey Mysterio is when he teamed up with the World Heavyweight Champion Batista on December 16 th 2005, to take on MNM for the WWE Tag Team Championship on SmackDown. The challengers survived interference from Melina to take control of the match. Mysterio and Batista hit the 619 and Batista Bomb simultaneously and made the pin to capture the WWE Tag Team Championship. This marked the beginning of Rey’s fourth reign as a WWE Tag Team Champion.
