WWE: Who has won the most World titles?

The argument over who is the greatest wrestler of all time is one that is hard to quantify, but who has won the most World Titles in WWE history is less so.

WWE often get criticised for not mentioning other companies and their wrestler’s history in them, namely Cody Rhodes’ return not having any references to his time in AEW. This lack of acknowledgement extends to this list, where WWE does not recognise TNA World Championships.

This is possibly fair given TNA was and is not a major wrestling promotion, nor are the likes of Ring of Honor and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla for example. WWE also does not count NXT Titles as World Titles, which seems reasonable to be fair.

Titles won in New Japan Pro-Wrestling are a bit of a dicier subject, but for this list, they will also be excluded.

So what does that leave us with? The current WWE and Universal Titles. The old-World Heavyweight Championship, WCW World Championship and its NWA predecessor. ECW title reigns under the WWE brand are also recognised.

With all of that in mind, GiveMeSport takes you through a top 10 of most World Title reigns in WWE history, but first some honorable mentions...

6 World Titles: Roman Reigns, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Kurt Angle, The Big Show, Randy Savage, Kevin Nash

7 World Titles: The Undertaker, Bret Hart

“Mad Dog” Harley Race is recognised as one of the greatest of all time, and his 8 reigns with the NWA World Championship was a record at the time. He is credited with later passing the torch to Ric Flair.

The Stinger’s 4 TNA World Titles are not recognised but he still had 10 during his time in the NWA and WCW. He surely would have WWE gold had he joined the company prior to 2014.

The Great One was the youngest WWE Champion when he won the belt at
