I just ran quickly with the WWE's description of the title & the official title history on their website.

If we connect that to the WCW title won on the final Monday Nitro 3/26 (three days after the purchase), we get the same guys though.

Booker -> Angle -> Booker -> Rock -> Jericho -> Rock -> Jericho (unification match with the old WWF title)

edit to add: If you go back through the history of that title (WCW belt from '91 onward), the only person on the WWE roster that you would add is Nash (Big Show is already listed).

Other former WCW champs still active in some fashion are all with TNA: Jarrett, Steiner, Flair, Sting and Hogan.
