Question: Who is the current WWE champion?

List of current champions in WWE



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 active singles championships for male wrestlers, an active championship for female wrestlers, and an active tag team championship. 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, one female, and one tag team championship for NXT UK wrestlers. A new tag team championship for the women's division was announced with the inaugural holders to be determined in 2019; it will be the only championship unaffiliated with any brand.
Among the five current brands, 20 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, 2019.
