3 Superstars who have won championship gold in WWE, Impact Wrestling, NJPW and ROH

The one obvious answer on the list, The Phenomenal One himself!
The one obvious answer on the list, The Phenomenal One himself!

Now, every once in a while, one of these little pieces of trivia comes up that you'll just never hear on television. Many promotions tend to no-sell championship achievements and sometimes full careers outside of their own company, to avoid giving credit to said promotion for building a Superstar and just to avoid giving them publicity and essentially boosting competition - but of course it's the case that most wrestlers have worked for more than one company.

Winning gold in several? Well, that's a completely different question altogether. For obvious reasons, no-one who has competed in WWE, ROH, NJPW or Impact has won a title in AEW - but there are three men who have won gold in the other four promotions. While this may not seem like a huge feat at face value, and you may think some answers are obvious - like Samoa Joe, Hulk Hogan etc, you quickly realise that you may have completely forgot about one promotion.

I implore you, try have a little guess before clicking through to the next slide - because while AJ Styles is a very obvious answer, the other two will definitely surprise you!


#3 AJ Styles

AJ is truly phenomenal!

Of course we have to start with AJ Styles. He's undoubtedly the least surprising name on the list.

Now, AJ is now well versed in WWE title winning - holding both the WWE Championship and the WWE United States Championship on multiple occasions apiece, but there was one point where even Styles wrestling in a WWE ring seemed unlikely, but that doesn't mean he wasn't winning gold elsewhere.

The Phenomenal One's stats read as follows:

  • WWE Champion (2 times)
