Every Current WWE Champion - Full List & Updates

There are currently 24 active titles in WWE.

Admittedly, two of those look to be show-specific and are hardly an ongoing concern to the weekly product. In fact, the creative team has put them to one side until certain jaunts to Saudi Arabia come around again. Then, you can expect to hear all about how "important" they are etc etc. Regardless of that 'pick 'em up then put 'em down' approach, both are here for the sake of completion.

Winning any championship under WWE's watch is nothing to sniff at. It's a sure sign that Triple H is encouraged by a wrestler's in-ring work, character progression and/or promo skills. 'The Game' doesn't just stick the belts on anyone. Obviously, that's truer for the top titles than it is for say...the Speed Titles. They're nowhere near as important as some other prizes the men and women on Raw, SmackDown and NXT strive to hold, and could be considered largely worthless by most fans.

Some belts will take a while to get going, too. Titles like the Women's Intercontinental and United States Championships are still relatively new, and the Women's Tag-Team straps have always been a headache for the writers penning episodes of TV. Thankfully, WWE managed to find a solution there by finally putting the titles on women who connect with the audience and having a backup story that was waiting to be triggered.

Here's every single reigning champion across all three major brands and beyond. This will be updated as and when title changes occur, so consider it a handy current guide on who's holding which title in WWE.

Undisputed WWE Champion: Cody Rhodes

Since: 3 August, 2025.

Defeated: John Cena.

Show: SummerSlam.

'King Of The Ring' winner Cody Rhodes finally reclaimed the WWE Title by defeating babyface (again) John Cena at SummerSlam in early August. It was a memorable win for Cody, and the pair's match was a vast improvement on their clash at WrestleMania 41. No Travis Scott interference to soil memories of this one!

Rhodes had called for the "real John Cena" in the lead up to August's PLE. Cena responded in kind by turning baby again on the SmackDown right before SummerSlam, but WWE kept the vicious 'Street Fight' stipulation in place as a proving ground for both workers on the night.

It feels like order has been restored following JC's 17th title reign.

World Heavyweight Champion: Seth Rollins

Since: 2 August, 2025.

Defeated: CM Punk.

Show: SummerSlam.

WWE changed both of the top men's prizes across a memorable SummerSlam weekend.

The company also kept everyone, including key members of the pro wrestling media, guessing about whether or not Seth Rollins actually got injured vs. LA Knight at Saturday Night's Main Event in July. That turned out to be a ruse. In fact, WWE called it "the ruse of the century" when Seth revealed he was healthy and cashed in his MITB briefcase on CM Punk mere moments after Punk had defeated Gunther to win the World Heavyweight Championship.

Some believe that Money In The Bank is old hat and needs a breather, but nobody will forget this cash in moment. That's for sure.

WWE Women's Champion: Tiffany Stratton

Since: 3 January, 2025.

Defeated: Nia Jax.

Show: SmackDown.

Despite the fear of many, 'Tiffy Time' continued in the aftermath of Stratton overcoming the odds and picking up a win over Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 41. While Flair was the nailed-on favourite for that match, Stratton grabbed the biggest win of her burgeoning career at this year's 'Showcase of the Immortals'.

Given how Charlotte Flair is, well...Charlotte Flair, it's hard to imagine the 'Queen' won't be circling back in for another shot at Tiffany's WWE Women's Championship eventually. For now, though, Stratton continues to rule the SmackDown roost, and even fought off a challenge from Jade Cargill at SummerSlam before embarking on a Crown Jewel Title quest.

Women's World Champion: Stephanie Vaquer

Since: 20 September, 2025.

Defeated: IYO SKY.

Show: Wrestlepalooza.

An emotional Naomi vacated her hard-won Women's World Championship live on the 18 August Raw. The positive sheen on this is that she's pregnant, so another Bloodline baby is on the way! Congrats to both Naomi and Jimmy Uso for that, but it means she'll obviously be off TV for a long stretch.

Creatively, the timing couldn't have been worse (Naomi had just won the belt at Evolution after cashing in Money In The Bank, and she seemed set to rule the division for a while), but Stephanie Vaquer earned her first main roster prize by fending off IYO SKY in a brilliant match at WrestlePalooza.

WWE Tag-Team Champions: The Wyatt Sicks

Since: 11 July, 2025.

Defeated: The Street Profits.

Show: SmackDown.

SmackDown's tag-team division has been a weekly highlight of the show for a while now. Chaos involving DIY, The Street Profits, Los Garza, Pretty Deadly, and the Motor City Machine Guns has been dramatic, complete with Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins dethroning Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa in Barcelona, Spain to become the WWE Tag Champs.

For the record, it had been over four years since The Profits held gold around here, but they went on to drop the straps to Wyatt Sicks pair Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis. In theory, Uncle Howdy could have any combo of himself, Erick Rowan, Gacy and Lumis defend the things going forwards.

World Tag-Team Champions: Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh

Since: 30 June, 2025.

Defeated: New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods).

Show: Raw.

WrestleMania 41 saw The New Day win their first slice of gold since formally kicking Big E out of the group, with Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston nabbing an underhanded win over The War Raiders.

Whilst that Woods and Kingston heel turn was executed expertly, the two sadly did a whole lot of nothing in the immediate aftermath. Their World Tag-Team Title reign was largely insignificant before Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh of Judgment Day came back around for another whirl on top of the division.

Intercontinental Champion: Dominik Mysterio

Since: 20 April, 2025

Defeated: Bron Breakker, Penta, and Finn Balor

Show: WrestleMania 41.

In a kayfabe sense, Dominik Mysterio somewhat overcame the odds to walk out of WrestleMania 41 as the new Intercontinental Champion. In a fatal four-way, Dirty Dom was up against the ever-dominant Bron Breakker, a former World Champion in Finn Bálor, and a Penta who had so much momentum behind him since arriving in WWE earlier in the year.

Still, Mysterio had enough smarts to pick his moment, pinning Judgment Day buddy Bálor to walk out of 'Mania 41 with his first piece of main roster singles gold to his name. That said, Finn clearly still has his eyes on that IC prize, as cracks continue to show within the Judgment Day.

United States Champion: Sami Zayn

Since: 29 August, 2025.

Defeated: Solo Sikoa.

Show: SmackDown.

Lovable underdog Sami Zayn cemented his leap from Raw to SmackDown by snagging the United States Title from Solo Sikoa on the 29 August episode of blue brand TV. The live crowd in France got loud for Sami's win a few days before the Clash In Paris PLE, and rightly so. Now, the US gold will move on from pseudo-Bloodline warring between ex-stablemates Solo and Jacob Fatu.

This title win could also play a part in an expected Zayn main event push. He's been talking a lot about main-eventing WrestleMania as a tag-teamer in the past, but...is it time for Sami to do so as a singles star? Only time will tell, but WWE have been dropping hints all over the place.

Women's Intercontinental Champion: Becky Lynch

Since: 7 June, 2025.

Defeated: Lyra Valkyria.

Show: Money In The Bank.

Lyra Valkyria had a fine enough reign as the first ever Women's Intercontinental Champ before dropping the belt to mentor Becky Lynch at Money In The Bank. Arguably, the pair had the best match of the night in Los Angeles. When it finished (and as per pre-agreed stipulations), heel Becky forced Lyra to raise her hand and parade around the ring with her.

Booking Lynch as the matriarch of this fairly new belt's division could prove to be a shrewd move from Triple H and WWE generally. Cracking bouts vs. all comers await throughout her time with the title.

Women's United States Champion: Giulia

Since: 27 June, 2025.

Defeated: Zelina Vega.

Show: SmackDown.

A fair few heads were turned when pint-sized underdog Zelina Vega knocked off impressive heel Chelsea Green to become the brand new Women's United States Champion in late-April. It hadn't seemed like Zelina had a hope in hell of beating Green when the pair were first programmed together, but Vega's win has also been part of Chelsea's character development arc.

Zelina was always going to be a temporary solution though. She lost her Women's US Title to former NXT star Giulia in late-June on SmackDown. It remains to be seen whether or not the Women's United States prize can reach heights seen over on Raw with the Women's IC strap.

Women's Tag-Team Champions: Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss

Since: 2 August, 2025.

Defeated: Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez.

Show: SummerSlam.

Alexa Bliss has achieved the impossible: She's made Charlotte Flair a likeable babyface. OK, maybe that's unfair. Charlotte has done a lot of the groundwork herself, but there's something so endearing about the "We're Not Friends" thing both women have going on. They won out at SummerSlam to become brand new focal points for the up and down Women's Tag Title division.

Pretty much everyone and their dog (go on, ask it!) knows that Charlotte and Alexa will split and feud at some point, but WWE can ride their union out for as long as it's working. There's no need to fix something that ain't broken, y'know?

WWE Speed Champion: El Grande Americano

Since: 7 May, 2025.

Defeated: Dragon Lee.

Show: Speed.

Let's be brutally honest: Few fans pay much attention to the Speed Titles or keep tabs on who holds the belt. It sure doesn't help that WWE's deal with social platform X means neither championship appears on Raw or SmackDown. That seems a bit counterproductive, and it's a shame for hopefuls like Chad Gable's offshoot El Grande Americano gimmick that his belt comes across as worthless to the core product.

He technically won the thing from Dragon Lee on 5 May, but the match didn't air on X until 7 May, so that's when WWE say Americano's title reign starts.

WWE Women's Speed Champion: Sol Ruca

Since: 16 April, 2025

Defeated: Candice LeRae.

Show: Speed.

Inaugural WWE Women's Speed Champion Candice LeRae held that belt for nearly 200 days, but her reign was brought to a halt courtesy of NXT's Sol Ruca. Much like has been the case with both the men's and women's Speed Title, though, Ruca has yet to be seen with that particular piece of gold on WWE programming.

Of course, with her success at Stand & Deliver, Sol is now technically a two-time champ.

NXT Champion: Ricky Saints

Since: 27 September, 2025.

Defeated: Oba Femi.

Show: NXT: No Mercy.

The artist formerly known as Ricky Starks justified his jump from AEW to WWE by winning the NXT Championship at No Mercy in late-September. Being booked to beat a powerhouse like Oba Femi should be taken as a huge show of faith from top brass, because it's pretty clear to everyone that Oba has a bright future ahead of him on the main roster.

Saints will eventually carve out a path for himself on Raw or SmackDown too if his current career trajectory is anything to go by. No-one can say for sure that his title reign will be a long one, but he'll be enjoying the moment regardless.

NXT Women's Champion: Jacy Jayne

Since: 27 May, 2025.

Defeated: Stephanie Vaquer.

Show: NXT.

It seemed written in the stars that Stephanie Vaquer would enjoy a lengthy run as NXT Women's Champ when she defeated Giulia at NXT Roadblock in mid-March, but both women have since been called up to the main WWE roster. Before that, Vaquer did the honours for NXT stalwart Jacy Jayne on 27 May.

Think of this as a sweet reward for Jayne's time in Toxic Attraction alongside Mandy Rose and Gigi Dolin years ago. Remarkably, Jacy is the only member of that group still on WWE's books - she's since formed a new faction alongside Fallon Henley and Jazmyn Nyx. The future looks bright for all three.

NXT North American Champion: Ethan Page

Since: 27 May, 2025.

Defeated: Ricky Saints.

Show: NXT.

Injuries robbed Ricky Saints of a lengthier stint as NXT North American Champion. He beat Shawn Spears on the 1 April NXT, but was then defeated by another former AEW star on 27 May. Ethan Page is the new champ, and he'll be hoping for a longer reign with the belt than he managed with the top NXT Championship (86 days) last year.

The good news is that Page shone during a rare main roster appearance on SmackDown. He wasn't wrestling, but spoke well as a guest behind the commentary desk. Bigger things could be ahead of 'All Ego' during the second half of 2025.

NXT Women's North American Champion: Sol Ruca

Since: 19 April, 2025.

Defeated: N/A (Stephanie Vaquer vacated).

Show: NXT Stand & Deliver.

With Stephanie Vaquer having been forced to vacate the NXT Women's North American Championship after her own NXT Women's Title success, it was Sol Ruca who emerged victorious for that vacant belt at Stand & Deliver.

In a brutal car crash of a ladder match, Sol was able to edge out her tag partner Zaria, former North American Champ Kelani Jordan, one-time NXT Women's Tag Champ Cora Jade, the heavy-hitting Lola Vice, and the ever-underhanded Izzi Dame - which gives Ruca the second championship of her young career.

NXT Tag-Team Titles: DarkState

Since: 24 August, 2025

Defeated: Hank & Tank

Show: NXT Heatwave.

DarkState members Dion Lennox and Osiris Griffin won the NXT Tag-Team Titles from Hank & Tank at Heatwave in late-August. That brought an end to the former champ's 127 day reign with the belts. It was, however, a deserved win for Lennon and Griffin. They make a sweet team.

So, mind you, do Hank & Tank, but now they need to work their way back up the ladder or move to WWE's main roster. Hey, you never know - those boys might've done enough to impress Shawn Michaels and a watching/listening Triple H.

WWE Men's Crown Jewel Champion: Cody Rhodes

Since: 2 November, 2024.

Defeated: GUNTHER.

Show: Crown Jewel.

There were skeptical glances aplenty when Triple H unveiled the new Crown Jewel Championships on TV ahead of WWE's trip to Saudi Arabia in November 2024. Dual 'Champion vs. Champion' bouts were set up. Cody Rhodes vs. GUNTHER was one of them, and it was Cody who took the freakishly large Crown Jewel belt on the night. Then, he left the title in Saudi.

WWE will only make a big song and dance about it come the next Crown Jewel event, but it counts as an active championship.

WWE Women's Crown Jewel Champion: Liv Morgan

Since: 2 November, 2024.

Defeated: Nia Jax.

Show: Crown Jewel.

Similarly, there isn't much to write home about when it comes to the Women's Crown Jewel Title. Then-Women's World Champion Liv Morgan won it by beating then-Women's Champ Nia Jax in Saudi. She posed inside the ring with Cody Rhodes and Triple H before leaving the gigantic belt backstage for somebody else to cart about. It'll be interesting to see if WWE even remembers who the champions are by the time Crown Jewel 2025 is announced.

Will it even matter? There's a good chance this prize will exclusively be contested between current reigning World Champions, not those who "won" it before.

WWE Evolve Champion: Jackson Drake

Since: 4 June, 2025.

Defeated: Keanu Carver, Edris Enofe, Sean Legacy.

Show: Evolve.

Technically, Jackson Drake won this belt in late April, but WWE didn't acknowledge the new WWE Evolve Title until early May, and his title-winning match didn't air until early June. It's unclear just how much focus the promotion will give both Evolve offshoots, but Drake must be chuffed that he'll go down in the history books as a first ever champion.

WWE Evolve Women's Champion: Kali Armstrong

Since: 4 June, 2025.

Defeated: Kendal Grey, Kylie Rae, Wendy Choo.

Show: Evolve.

Kali Armstrong is in the same boat. She'll be remembered as the first ever WWE Evolve Women's Champion after winning another Fatal-4-Way elimination bout during tapings in late April. Again, that match was kept back until June.

Think of Evolve as loose qualifiers for NXT. If workers impress there, then they'll surely be brought into the mix on WWE's core developmental wing.

WWE ID Champion: Cappuccino Jones

Since: 1 August, 2025.

Defeated: Jack Cartwheel.

Show: The ID Showcase (GCW).

WWE established both ID Titles in February as part of a recruitment drive aimed squarely at keeping tabs on the best the independent scene has to offer. In a neat touch, Triple H said that any workers who win each championship but aren't already signed to an ID contract will be brought onboard and offered terms.

That's quite the dangling carrot for young workers on the indy circuit. Cappuccino Jones became the first male ID Champ on a Game Changer Wrestling-promoted showcase event in early August right before SummerSlam.

WWE Women's ID Champion: Vacant

Since: 25 April, 2025.

Defeated: Zara Zakher and Zayda Steel.

Show: The ID Showcase (GCW).

Former AEW, TNA and NWA star Kylie Rae became the first female ID Champ on the same show.

She'll be hoping that this ID stuff is a ticket to the top. Rae has had several WWE tryouts and mini-stints over the years, but hasn't been able to nail down a full-time spot for very long. If nothing else, at least becoming Women's ID Champion shows her that WWE management have been paying attention to her work.

Rae announced she was pregnant and vacated the title on 22 September.
