WWE World Champions Quiz

Considered by many to be the Big One of wrestling, the WWE World Heavyweight Championship has been the belt that (almost) every wrestler aspires to but few get to claim. In its 60+ year history, there have been 55 recognized champions combining for 147 reigns between them. Can you name all the champions to have held what many consider to be pro wrestling's top prize? Note: Quiz updated once a year after WrestleMania.

Alternate spellings may exist for some names that might be more difficult to spell. Wrestlers who appeared under alternate names and characters can be guessed with just one of those names and will appear under only one of those name. Guessing a wrestler once will fill in all of their reigns..

"Date Won" means the calendar date on which the wrestler won the title, not the WWE "recognised" date. "R#" corresponds to the cumulative reign number for that respective champion.

Vacant: On a number of occasions and for a variety of reasons, the world title has been vacated by its holder. The date relating to each vacancy is when the champion relinquished the belt.

This quiz tracks only a single lineage of the world title, as the original lineage has had other championships merged into it over the years and WWE has often had more than one world championship exist at a time.
