Template:SHORTDESC:

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 July 31, 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 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.

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 top title for male wrestlers is the NXT Championship. It is held by two-time champion Oba Femi, who defeated previous champion Ricky Saints at Deadline on December 6, 2025.[14]

The secondary title for male wrestlers is the NXT North American Championship. It is held by first-time champion Ethan Page, who defeated Ricky Saints on NXT on May 27, 2025. [15]

There are two specialty championships for men: the NXT Heritage Cup and the WWE Speed Championship. 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.[16] The Speed Championship is held by first-time champion Jasper Troy from NXT. He defeated Raw's El Grande Americano on NXT on November 11, 2025.[17]

The men's tag team title is the NXT Tag Team Championship. It is held by DarkState (Osiris Griffin and Saquon Shugars), who are in their first reign as a team but the second for the stable as a whole; individually, it is Griffin's second reign and Shugars's first. Originally, Griffin and Dion Lennox won the title by defeating previous champions The Hardy Boyz (Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy) in a Broken Rules match at Halloween Havoc on October 25, 2025.

The top title for female wrestlers is the NXT Women's Championship. It is held by two-time champion Jacy Jayne, who defeated Tatum Paxley at NXT: Gold Rush – Night 1 on November 18, 2025.[19]

The secondary women's title is the NXT Women's North American Championship. It is held by first-time champion Thea Hail. She defeated Blake Monroe on NXT on December 16, 2025;[20] this was a legitimate unplanned finish as Monroe was supposed to retain.[21]

The specialty title is the WWE Women's Speed Championship in which matches 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 TNA and sister promotion AAA. It is held by first-time champion Fallon Henley.

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 men's WWE Evolve Championship is held by Jackson Drake. He defeated Keanu Carver, Edris Enofe, and Sean Legacy, who Drake last eliminated, in a fatal four-way elimination match to become the inaugural champion during the Evolve tapings on April 25, 2025,[24] which aired on tape delay on June 4, 2025.[25]

The WWE Evolve Women's Championship is held by first-time champion Kendal Grey. She defeated Kali Armstrong during the Evolve: Succession taping on September 23, 2025,[26] which aired on tape delay on October 15, 2025.[27]

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.[28]

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.[29]

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 Wrestling Open Rhode Island's event, Wrestling Open RI 33, on November 17, 2025; previous and inaugural champion Kylie Rae relinquished the title due to maternity leave.[30]

Notes

  1. ^ 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.
  2. ^ Some new WWE wrestlers may be immediately assigned to the main roster based on their prior experience and how well they were known outside the company (e.g., AJ Styles).
