Wikipedia / List of current champions in WWE
WWE is an American professional wrestling promotion based in Stamford, Connecticut, and the world's largest promotion. As with other professional wrestling promotions, WWE promotes several championships, with titleholders typically determined via the results of professional wrestling matches within scripted storylines. On rare occasions, a championship may be awarded to or stripped from a wrestler outside of a match, though these occurrences typically also fall within scripted storylines.
WWE currently divides its roster between four brands, and there is also a non-exclusive developmental program. Most wrestlers perform exclusively on a single brand (with select exemptions). WWE's two primary brands are Raw and SmackDown, collectively referred to as the main roster. NXT serves as the primary developmental brand (although it was considered a third main brand from 2019 to 2021), with Evolve geared towards WWE Performance Center trainees, while WWE ID is to support wrestlers on the independent circuit. WWE also acquired the Mexican promotion Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA) in 2025, but it primarily operates as a separate promotion with occasional crossover; its titles can be found on the AAA list.
There are currently 20 championships in WWE divided across Raw, SmackDown, NXT, Evolve, and WWE ID. Raw, SmackDown, and NXT each have a primary, secondary, and tag team championship for male wrestlers and a primary and secondary championship for female wrestlers. There is one women's tag team championship in the company, and it is shared between Raw, SmackDown, and NXT. Evolve and WWE ID each feature one primary singles championship for their respective men's and women's divisions.
As of , , among the four current brands and the non-exclusive developmental program, 25 wrestlers officially hold championships, including one interim champion. This list includes the number of times the wrestler has held the title, the date and location of the win, and a description of the match victory.
Overview
The American professional wrestling promotion WWE promotes a large roster of professional wrestlers. In 2002, the brand extension was introduced, dividing the roster into what the company refers to as brands with each brand having its own set of championships; the brand split had ended in 2011 but was reintroduced in 2016. The two main brands that the company promotes are Raw and SmackDown, collectively referred to as the main roster. Wrestlers assigned to the two main brands exclusively perform on the respective weekly television programs, Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown, albeit with some exceptions. The Raw brand also has a supplementary online streaming program called Main Event. Monthly pay-per-view and livestreaming events—referred to as Premium Live Events (PLEs)—as well as the non-televised WWE Live shows, feature wrestlers from both brands.
WWE has two developmental brands. The primary developmental brand is NXT, which launched in 2012 and is where most WWE wrestlers perform prior to being promoted to the main roster. Wrestlers assigned to NXT appear on the Tuesday night NXT program and the brand's major livestreaming events—also referred to as PLEs—that are held periodically throughout the year. Evolve is a developmental brand that launched in 2025 and features mostly newer wrestlers that are still in training at the WWE Performance Center. These wrestlers appear on the Wednesday night program, Evolve. Furthermore, there is WWE Independent Development (ID), a developmental program that also launched in 2025 and helps to support wrestlers on the independent circuit and provide a pathway to potentially joining WWE. These wrestlers may also appear on Evolve.
WWE also acquired the Mexican promotion Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA) in 2025, and while it still primarily operates as a separate promotion, wrestlers from Raw, SmackDown, and NXT often appear in AAA and vice versa, also allowing them to challenge for their respective titles; for AAA's titles, see AAA's list. WWE also has a partnership with American promotion Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) that began in 2024, which primarily sees crossover between NXT and TNA (with rare occurrences with the main roster) where wrestlers may appear on each other's programs and challenge for titles; for TNA's titles, see TNA's list.
Main roster
For the men's division, both Raw and SmackDown feature a primary, secondary, and tag team championship, while for the women's division, each brand has a primary and secondary championship. There is also a women's tag team championship shared between both brands as well as NXT.

Triple Crown and Grand Slam recognition
Note: Championships listed here only refer to the current active versions, not a previous or retired version that has the same name, as retired championships are not eligible for the current Triple Crown or Grand Slam formats.
In professional wrestling, a Triple Crown is an achievement for having won three specific titles within a promotion over the course of a wrestler's career, while a Grand Slam is an achievement for having won four titles over a career, typically the same three titles of the Triple Crown plus a fourth title.
For Raw and SmackDown, a male wrestler who has won the Undisputed WWE Championship, the Intercontinental Championship, and the World Tag Team Championship is recognized to have won the men's WWE Triple Crown. A wrestler who has won one world championship, both secondary championships, and one world tag team championship is recognized to have won the men's WWE Grand Slam. Sami Zayn is the most recent men's Triple Crown and Grand Slam winner, simultaneously completing both upon winning the Undisputed WWE Championship at Night of Champions on June 27, 2026, becoming the 36th men's Triple Crown Champion and overall 26th men's Grand Slam Champion (19th under the current format). His Grand Slam is recognized by the Undisputed WWE Championship, the Intercontinental and United States championships, and the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship.
For NXT, a male wrestler who has won the NXT Championship, the NXT North American Championship, and the NXT Tag Team Championship is recognized to have won the NXT Triple Crown, while a wrestler who has won the three aforementioned titles plus the now-defunct NXT Heritage Cup, in no particular order, is recognized to have won the NXT Grand Slam. Tony D'Angelo is the most recent NXT Triple Crown and Grand Slam winner, simultaneously completing both by winning the NXT Championship at Stand & Deliver on April 4, 2026, becoming the third NXT Triple Crown Champion and the first-ever NXT Grand Slam Champion.
There is also a men's WWE Tag Team Triple Crown for teams composed of the same two wrestlers. It requires the tag team titles from Raw, SmackDown, and NXT: the World Tag Team Championship, the WWE Tag Team Championship, and the NXT Tag Team Championship. The Hardy Boyz (Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy) are the fourth and most recent Tag Team Triple Crown winners, completing it by winning the NXT Tag Team Championship at NXT vs. TNA Showdown on October 7, 2025; uniquely, they achieved this while being under contract with TNA through WWE's partnership with the company.
There is also a women's Triple Crown and Grand Slam for Raw and SmackDown, with the latter currently also requiring one NXT championship; NXT itself currently does not have a women's Triple Crown or Grand Slam achievement. The WWE Women's Triple Crown requires the Women's World Championship, the WWE Women's Championship, and the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, while the WWE Women's Grand Slam requires the three aforementioned titles plus the NXT Women's Championship, in no particular order. Iyo Sky is the most recent women's Triple Crown and Grand Slam winner, simultaneously completing both upon winning the Women's World Championship on Raw on March 3, 2025, becoming the 10th Women's Triple Crown Champion and 7th Women's Grand Slam Champion.
