WWE: Who has won the most overall titles in history?

Throughout the long history of the WWE, there have been many superstars who have had sustained success and won multiple titles, but who has actually won the most overall?

When deciding on what constitutes a true title reign in WWE, there has to be a few boundaries. As such titles such as the 24/7 and Hardcore will not be included, otherwise R-Truth would have an unassailable lead with his 54 24/7 reigns. Gimmick belts like the Million Dollar Championship are also excluded.

Titles won outside of WWE in promotions like WCW and TNA are also not included, which rules Ric Flair, Booker T and Sting out of contention. However, WCW Titles won under the WWE umbrella do count, as the titles were still technically “WCW” during the 2001 Invasion storyline.

This leaves us with the following titles: WWE, Universal, World Heavyweight, Intercontinental, United States, European and all of the Tag belts.
