List of current champions in WWE

Page semi-protected
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 21 championships in WWE divided across Raw, SmackDown, NXT, and Evolve, with two upcoming ones for 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, secondary, specialty, and tag team championship for male wrestlers, with a primary and secondary championship for female wrestlers. There are three titles that are shared between Raw, SmackDown, and NXT—an internet championship for the respective men's and women's divisions and a tag team championship for the women. Evolve and WWE ID each feature one championship for their respective men's and women's divisions, with inaugural champions for both WWE ID titles to be determined.

As of June 13, 2025, among the four current brands, 24 wrestlers officially hold championships (including one double 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 currently 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, 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.[b] Wrestlers assigned to NXT appear on the brand's eponymous weekly television program and major livestreaming events 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 weekly Evolve program. 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.

There is also a weekly online program called Speed that streams exclusively on X and features wrestlers from Raw, SmackDown, and NXT.

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 online program Speed exclusively has its own set of championships, one each for the men's and women's divisions, and these titles are available to wrestlers from Raw and SmackDown, as well as NXT.
