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 May 11, 2026, among the four current brands and the non-exclusive developmental program, 27 wrestlers officially hold championships. 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.

The Heritage Cup has a stipulation in which all matches are contested under British Rounds Rules, while matches for the Speed Championship have a five-minute time limit and the title is open to challengers from WWE's other brands, including Evolve and WWE ID, as well as partner promotion Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) and sister promotion Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA). The Heritage Cup is held by first-time champion Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, who defeated Tony D'Angelo by 2–1 to win the vacant title on NXT on June 24, 2025; previous champion Noam Dar relinquished the title due to injury.[15] Although Lorenzo is still officially recognized as champion on WWE's website, he has not been referred to as champion and the title has not appeared on-screen since the The Great American Bash on July 12, 2025; during that event, D'Angelo stole and threw the Heritage Cup off a bridge.[16] The Speed Championship is held by first-time champion Lexis King. He won the vacant title by defeating EK Prosper in a tournament final at NXT: Revenge – Week 2 on April 21, 2026; previous champion Elio LeFleur relinquished the title due to a shoulder injury.[17]

It is held by first-time champion Wren Sinclair. She defeated Fallon Henley on NXT on March 17, 2026.[21]
Evolve
While primarily contested between wrestlers on the Evolve brand, wrestlers in the WWE ID program are also eligible to challenge for the men's and women's Evolve titles.
The WWE Evolve Men's Championship is held by first-time champion Aaron Rourke. He defeated Jackson Drake during the Evolve tapings on February 20, 2026,[22] which aired on tape delay on March 18, 2026.[23]
The WWE Evolve Women's Championship is held by first-time champion Wendy Choo. She won the vacant title by last pinning Nikkita Lyons in an eight-woman Gauntlet match during the Evolve tapings on March 20, 2026,[24] which aired on tape delay on April 15, 2026; previous champion Kendal Grey relinquished the title as she became a full-time member of the NXT roster.[25]
WWE ID
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.[26]
The men's WWE ID Championship is held by first-time champion Chazz "Starboy" Hall. He defeated inaugural champion Cappuccino Jones at Beyond Wrestling's event, Wrestling Open RI 44: "One of These Nights", on March 23, 2026, also earning a WWE ID contract. Hall won the title as Starboy Charlie.[27]
The WWE Women's ID Championship is held by first-time champion Laynie Luck. She won the vacant title by defeating Brittnie Brooks, Notorious Mimi, Shannon Levangie, Tiara James, and Airica Demia in a six-woman elimination match at Beyond Wrestling's event, Wrestling Open RI 33, on November 17, 2025; previous and inaugural champion Kylie Rae relinquished the title due to maternity leave.[28]
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.[b]
In professional wrestling, a Triple Crown is an achievement for winning three specific titles within a promotion, typically a primary championship, a secondary championship, and a tag team championship, while a Grand Slam is an achievement for winning four titles, typically the same three titles of the Triple Crown plus a fourth title.
For Raw and SmackDown, a male wrestler who has won the WWE Championship, the Intercontinental Championship, and the World Tag Team Championship is recognized to have won the men's WWE Triple Crown.[c] A wrestler who has won one world championship,[d] both secondary championships,[e] and one world tag team championship[f] is recognized to have won the men's WWE Grand Slam. John Cena is the most recent men's Triple Crown and Grand Slam winner, simultaneously completing both upon winning the Intercontinental Championship on Raw on November 11, 2025, becoming the 35th men's Triple Crown Champion and overall 25th men's Grand Slam Champion (18th under the current format). His Grand Slam is recognized by the WWE Championship, the Intercontinental and United States championships, and the World Tag Team Championship.[g][29]
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 NXT Heritage Cup, in no particular order, is recognized to have won the NXT Grand Slam.[h] 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.[30]
There is also a men's WWE Tag Team Triple Crown for teams composed of the same two wrestlers.[i] 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,[j] 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.[31]
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.[k] 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.[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.
- The World Heavyweight Championship, the WWE United States Championship, and the WWE Tag Team Championship are currently not eligible substitutes for their respective counterparts of the Triple Crown.
- 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 with David Otunga in October 2010 when it 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).
- It has not been confirmed if the WWE Speed Championship is an eligible substitute in place of the NXT Heritage Cup for the NXT Grand Slam.
- Chad Gable is an example of a wrestler who has won the three required titles but not with the same tag team partner and is thus not considered a Tag Team Triple Crown winner.
- The Hardy Boyz first won the current World Tag Team Championship in April 2017 and then the current WWE Tag Team Championship in April 2019, when the titles were previously known as the Raw and SmackDown Tag Team Championships, respectively (both were renamed in 2024).
- 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.
