Rob Van Dam was the last European Champion.

This is a chronological list of wrestlers that have been WWE European Champion by ring name. The WWE European Championship is a former professional wrestling title competed for in World Wrestling Entertainment. The title was created on February 26, 1997.[1] The first champion was The British Bulldog who defeated Owen Hart in a tournament final.[2] The title was first abandoned in 1999 when Shane McMahon hid the belt in his duffel bag.[3] The title was later found by Mideon, which made the belt once again in use.[4] The title was finally retired on July 22, 2002 when WWE Intercontinental Champion Rob Van Dam defeated European Champion Jeff Hardy to unify the European title into the Intercontinental title.[5] There have been a total of 27 recognized champions who have had a combined 37 official reigns.

Contrary to popular belief, WWE.com does not recognize Rob Van Dam's win over Jeff Hardy for European Championship as a title reign.

The championship has been known as:[6]

  • WWF European Championship (February 1997 - May 2002)
  • WWE European Championship (May 2002 - July 2002)
