There are five active singles championships: the WWE Championship, World Heavyweight Championship, Intercontinental Championship, United States Championship, and Divas Championship; as well as one tag team championship, the WWE Tag Team Championship. Seven wrestlers hold these championships on the company's two brands: Raw and SmackDown. 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.

At the top of WWE's championship hierarchy, the WWE Championship is currently held by John Cena, while Dolph Ziggler is the current holder of the World Heavyweight Championship. John Cena is in his eleventh reign as WWE Champion, having defeated the former champion The Rock at the WrestleMania XXIX on April 7, 2013.
