Diesel's win kicked off a lengthy run of consecutive babyface Champions. Diesel didn't start his turn until after losing the belt to Bret. Bret lost to a babyface Shawn. Shawn lost to a babyface Sid. Sid lost the belt back to a babyface Shawn. Shawn lost his smile and the belt went to Bret, who was in the middle of a heel turn, but wouldn't go full heel for another month. Bret lost the belt to still Babyface Sid, who lost to a babyface Undertaker. Then, at Summerslam 97, heel Bret finally ended the run. Who lost it to a heel Shawn Michaels.
Just a weird 2.5 to 3 years.
