At Summerslam, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins will take on Sheamus and Cesaro for the RAW Tag Team Championships. Not only does Dean Ambrose have a chance to win his first tag team title in WWE, he has a chance to join an exclusive list of superstars.
If Ambrose and Rollins win at Summerslam, Dean will officially become a ‘Grand Slam’ winner in WWE. Here is what that means:
The ‘Grand Slam’ in WWE has changed over the years due to different titles being introduced and taken away. According to WWE.com, here are their current requirements for a ‘Grand Slam’ winner:
“Intercontinental Champion, United States Champion, any permutation of the Tag Team Championship and either active heavyweight title — as in, WWE Championship or, now, the WWE Universal Championship”
Ambrose is a former WWE Champion, United States Champion and Intercontinental Champion. The only thing that he hasn’t done in WWE is win the Tag Team Titles.
Here is the list of all the Grand Slam winners in WWE history under both the old and new formats.
Ambrose would become the first member of the Shield to win the ‘Grand Slam’. Reigns and Rollins are both missing the Intercontinental Title.
A pretty impressive feat if this happens on Sunday. Keep that in mind when you watch him and Rollins go for the tag titles.
