List of current champions in WWE

Wikimedia list article

This is a list of all current champions in WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment), a big company that produces professional wrestling shows. It is now the most popular company in the wrestling business. It is owned by TKO Group Holdings. Vincent J. McMahon started the company in 1963. His son, Vince K. McMahon ran the company as the chairman and CEO from 1982 to 2024.

The company used to be known as the World Wrestling Federation or the WWF. They changed their name to World Wrestling Entertainment after a lawsuit filed by the World Wide Fund for Nature, formerly known as the World Wildlife Fund, which uses the "WWF" initials in the United States. In 2011, the company rebranded itself as WWE, although its legal name is still World Wrestling Entertainment.
