List of current champions in WWE
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.[a]
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),[1] with Evolve geared towards WWE Performance Center trainees, while WWE ID is to support wrestlers on the independent circuit.
There are currently 23 championships in WWE divided across Raw, SmackDown, NXT, Evolve, and WWE ID. Raw and SmackDown each have a primary, secondary, and tag team championship for male wrestlers and a primary and secondary championship for female wrestlers. NXT features a primary, a secondary, two specialty, and a tag team championship for male wrestlers, with a primary, a secondary, and a specialty 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 championship for their respective men's and women's divisions.
As of March 21, 2026, among the four current brands and the non-exclusive developmental program, 26 wrestlers officially hold championships with one title vacant. 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 divides its roster into what the company refers to as brands. 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 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 newer developmental brand, which 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 to support wrestlers on the independent circuit and provide a pathway to potentially joining WWE. These wrestlers may also appear on Evolve.
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.

Unlike WWE's other championships, which are exclusively defended on WWE's programming, the men's and women's WWE ID titles are exclusively defended across partner independent promotions. Additionally, all independent wrestlers are eligible to challenge for the titles and if a non-WWE ID wrestler were to win either, they receive a WWE ID contract.[31]
The men's WWE ID Championship is held by Cappuccino Jones. He defeated Jack Cartwheel in a tournament final to become the inaugural champion at Game Changer Wrestling's event, The ID Showcase, on August 1, 2025.[32]

Notes
- In some cases, a wrestler may be stripped of a title due to a legitimate injury or other real-world circumstance. On such occasions, the storyline may be adapted around real-world events or may continue without referencing them.
- The World Heavyweight Championship refers to the version established in 2023, not the World Heavyweight Championship that was retired in 2013.
- The World Tag Team Championship refers to the version established in 2002, not the World Tag Team Championship that was retired in 2010.
- The WWE Tag Team Championship refers to the version established in 2016, not the WWE Tag Team Championship that was established in 2002 and now known as the World Tag Team Championship.
- The WWE Women's Championship refers to the version established in 2016, not the WWE Women's Championship that was retired in 2010.
- Either the WWE Championship or the World Heavyweight Championship.
- Either the World Tag Team Championship or the WWE Tag Team Championship.
- Cena first won the current World Tag Team Championship in 2010 with David Otunga when the title was originally known as the WWE Tag Team Championship (it was renamed as Raw Tag Team Championship in 2016 and then World Tag Team Championship in 2024).
- Chad Gable is an example of a wrestler who has won all three but not with the same tag team partner and is thus not considered a Tag Team Triple Crown winner.
- Secondary women's championships—the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship and the WWE Women's United States Championship—were introduced in late 2024 but WWE have not yet updated the Women's Triple Crown or Grand Slam formats to include these and be similar to the men's.
