Revision as of 15:47, 21 February 2019
WWE is an American professional wrestling promotion based out of Stamford, Connecticut. Title reigns are either determined by professional wrestling matches or are awarded to a wrestler, as a result of the culmination of various scripted storylines.
WWE splits its main roster into two distinctive brands — Raw and SmackDown. A level below the main roster is the NXT brand. Specialty brands in WWE include 205 Live, which is for male wrestlers 205 lbs. and under (designated by WWE as crusierweights), and NXT UK, which is for wrestlers based in the United Kingdom.
Raw, SmackDown, and NXT each have two singles championships for male wrestlers, a singles championship for female wrestlers, and a tag team championship for male wrestlers. There is one championship for the cruiserweight wrestlers on 205 Live, which is the only championship with a weight limit in the promotion, and one male singles, one female singles, and one male tag team championship for NXT UK wrestlers. There is also one tag team championship for female wrestlers in the promotion, and it is shared between Raw, SmackDown, and NXT.[1]
Among the five current brands, 22 wrestlers hold the championships. The list includes the number of times the wrestler has held the title, the date and location of the win, and a description of the winning bout. The following is correct as of June 1, 2024.
