Who is currently wwe champion

WWE is a 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 storylines. The WWE splits its main roster into two distinctive brands, Raw and SmackDown Live, as well as a third brand NXT, with each having their own set of championships. There are six active singles championships for male wrestlers, three active championships for female wrestlers, and five active tag team championships between Raw, Friday Night SmackDown and NXT. The NXT UK brand has 4 championships - one for men, one for women, a secondary title named the NXT UK Heritage Cup, and the NXT UK Tag Team Championships, only for the men's division.

Between the five currently active brands, 25 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 September 15, 2022.
