Last month I posted my rankings for the WWE Champions of the 2010s. Here are mine for the WHC in the same decade (yay only 4 years of champs!)

Sheamus - Longest WHC reign of the decade with successful defenses against Bryan, Ziggler, Del Rio, Orton, and Jericho. His 6 month reign ended via Big Show knockout punch.

Daniel Bryan - His sole WHC reign was a cash in on Big Show and lasted 3.5 months, but it's what he did during the reign that stands out. YES became a thing, and he had successful defenses against Big Show, Henry, and one in the Elimination Chamber. Reign ended in 18 seconds at Wrestlemania.

Edge - Two reigns as WHC in the 10s, with successful defenses against Kane, Ziggler, and Del Rio, along with winning an Elimination Chamber defense after starting from the beginning. Retired as unbeaten champion.

Kane - Ran with the title for an impressive 5 months with title defenses against Mysterio, Taker, and Edge. Even if the matches with Taker were mostly bad and a decade too late.

Alberto Del Rio - Two reigns as WHC. First was the forgettable attempt to push Del Rio as a face with defenses against Big Show and Jack Swagger. Regains title against Dolph Ziggler in a double-turn and gets a better run with defenses against Ziggler, Christian, and RVD before ultimately dropping it to Cena.

Randy Orton - 3 time WHC in the 10s; his first two were back and forth with Christian in 2012 but ultimately dropped to Mark Henry. Orton's third was the final WHC reign ever as he retired the belt at TLC 2013 against Cena.

Mark Henry - Finally got a world title run in 2011 and ran with it, getting wins over Orton and Bryan. However, he also feuded with Big Show where he went 0-2-1, including the title loss to him.

Big Show - 2 reigns, albeit the first reign ended in minutes thanks to a Mark Henry chair shot and Bryan cashing in. Got a semi decent run for 3 months in 2012, albeit with forgettable matches with Sheamus and Del Rio.

Chris Jericho - Won in the Elimination Chamber, successfully defended against Edge at Wrestlemania. Only a 1.5 month reign before Swagger cashed in.

Undertaker - Entered the decade as champion in the midst of what would eventually be a nearly 5 month (and final) reign. The 2010s gave him a title defense against Rey Mysterio before dropping it in an Elimination Chamber via Sweet Chin Music.

Jack Swagger - A forgettable 2.5 month reign, despite successful defenses against Orton, Jericho, and Edge. Also made to look like Big Show and Mysterio's whipping post.

John Cena - Only one reign in the 2010s that lasted 2 months and only consisted of reigns against Del Rio and Sandow (yep, THAT Sandow match). Loses title in final WHC match ever to Orton.

Christian - Two reigns, though WWE did all they could to make them forgettable. First run was only two days long before he dropped it to Orton. Wins the second one by DQ, only to drop it to Orton again a month later.

Dolph Ziggler - First of two reigns was awarded to Dolph by Vickie Guerrero, but a match immediately appointed by Teddy Long would end Dolph's reign in minutes. The second was a cash in, followed by a concussion that kept Dolph out of action until dropping said title back to Del Rio.

Rey Mysterio - Barely held the title for a month before being the victim of a Kane cash in; only defense was against Swagger.
