WWE champions: Here's who holds every championship title in WWE, NXT

In WWE, champions reign supreme.

There are stars all over the WWE roster, but the ones that hold the most prestige are the ones that hoist titles, as every superstar tries to elevate their career with championship gold around their waist. Legends like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Stone Cold Steve Austin and John Cena made names for themselves by capturing championship belts, and while titles have changed design − or even name − in recent years, they still hold high prestige in the wrestling world.

Currently, there are solidified stars like Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins holding the most prestigious honors in WWE, but there are also some younger stars, such as Iyo Sky, making a name for themselves with quick rises to glory.

There are eight champions on the main roster, while there are five in NXT. Here are all the championship holders in WWE, as well as how long they've held their title:
