The Top 5 Current Triple Crown Champions In WWE
If you look back and examine the list of WWE Triple Crown champions over the years, you will find they're a total of 41 champions to date. The original task of becoming a Triple Crown champion was to win the WWE World, Intercontinental, and Tag Team Championships respectively.
As WWE grew and expanded, the roster was split between two distinct brands (RAW and SmackDown), giving wrestlers a chance to accomplish this feat between both brands.
Today we will rank the Top 5 Triple Crown Champions currently in WWE. These five wrestlers earned this feat by winning the Undisputed WWE Championship, Intercontinental, and Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships.
#5 - The Messiah Of All Triple Crown Champions
We cannot have a Triple Crown list without bringing up Seth Rollins. Rollins has had an amazing WWE career thus far and has no plans of stopping anytime soon. Feuds with the likes of Roman Reigns, AJ Styles, Edge, and so many others have only influenced Rollins to evolve and grow his character.
Rollins began his journey by becoming a WWE Tag Team Champion alongside Roman Reigns as part of "The Shield" on May 19, 2013 by defeating Team Hell No (Daniel Bryan & Kane) at Extreme Rules. Rollins would later become WWE Champion in March 2015 at WrestleMania 31 by cashing in his Money in the Bank contract against Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns. Rollins would then go on to become WWE Intercontinental Champion in April 2018 by defeating Finn Balor and The Miz in a Triple Threat Match at WrestleMania 34 to complete his quest as a Triple Crown Champion.
#4 - Acknowledging The Tribal Chief
Roman Reigns may be (arguably) one of the greatest WWE Superstars of all-time. His track record speaks for itself, as he has won just about every WWE Championship in the company. He is currently the reigning Undisputed WWE Universal Champion for 720 days and counting.
UNDISPUTED WWE UNIVERSAL CHAMPION

#3 - An "Awesome" Triple Crown Champion
The Miz had a rough start in WWE beginning in 2007, transitioning from reality TV to The Real World. From competing in WWE's Tough Enough to becoming a "host" for the Divas Search Contest, The Miz found his character and began to build and construct his legacy piece by piece with championships and accolades.
The Miz began his journey by becoming a WWE World Tag Team Champion in 2007 with John Morrison by defeating Matt Hardy & MVP on SmackDown. The Miz would then become the WWE Champion in 2010 by cashing in his Money in the Bank contract against Randy Orton on RAW. In July 2012, The Miz won the WWE Intercontinental Championship by defeating Christian at RAW 1,000.
