WWE has several champions on its three major brands with some top stars holding the belt

WWE has several quality stars across the male and female divisions and to deal with such a huge roster, they need to have champions and different brands.

Normally, Raw and SmackDown were spoken off while NXT (FCW in its earlier avatar) wasn’t highlighted much.

However, the former Black and Gold brand has come up leaps and bounds in recent years. It has now rebranded to a much more colorful version. Some of the best matches take place on NXT while most of the current top WWE stars have had a stint at Full Sail Arena too.

NXT UK is also another promotion under the WWE brand and that has three champions too. Raw, NXT, and SmackDown have four champions each, and here are the current stars who hold the belts.

NXT

The four belts that are currently in NXT include the NXT Championship, NXT Women’s Championship, NXT North American Championship, and the NXT Tag Team Championship.

Many top stars have held these titles before moving onto the bigger Raw and SmackDown brands, and here are the current champions.

Title Current champion
NXT Championship Bron Breakker
NXT Women’s Championship Mandy Rose
NXT North American Championship Carmelo Hayes
NXT Tag Team Championship The Creed Brothers
Million Dollar Championship (Retired) LA Knight

SmackDown

The Blue brand in WWE has a larger roster than NXT and is a two-hour show. However, this also features four titles which are the Universal Championship, SmackDown Women’s Championship, Intercontinental Championship, and the SmackDown Tag Team Championship.

The Women’s Tag Team titles are defended on all three major brands but the title is currently vacant due to the walkout of the previous champions, Sasha Banks and Naomi.
