The WWE Championship has been WWE's premier title since the company's inception. Over the years, the championship has been unified and merged with other titles. At WrestleMania 38, then-Universal Champion Roman Reigns defeated then-WWE Champion Brock Lesnar to unify the two titles, which was then known as the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. The title was called the Undisputed WWE Championship after Roman Reigns dropped it at WrestleMania XL. As of January 2025, the Undisputed WWE Champion is Cody Rhodes, in his first reign with the title.
