TheTriple Crown is an accomplishment recognized by variousprofessional wrestling promotions. It is a distinction made to a professional wrestler who has won three of a single promotion'schampionships; specifically, a world championship, another singles championship, and atag team championship. Promotions to officially recognize Triple Crown winners includeWWE,All Elite Wrestling (AEW),Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA),Ring of Honor (ROH),Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA), andNational Wrestling Alliance (NWA) as well as the defunct promotionsWorld Championship Wrestling (WCW),Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), andLucha Underground.

TheAll Elite Wrestling (AEW) Triple Crown was established on September 4, 2022, defined by company CEOTony Khan as consisting of theAEW World Championship, theAEW World Tag Team Championship, and theAEW World Trios Championship.^[1]Kenny Omega became the first Triple Crown winner after becoming part of inaugural Trios Championship team atAll Out.

TheExtreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) Triple Crown consisted of theECW World Heavyweight Championship, theECW World Television Championship and theECW World Tag Team Championship.^[2][3][4] ECW was founded in 1992 as Eastern Championship Wrestling until the name was changed to Extreme Championship Wrestling in 1994. WhileJohnny Hotbody won all three titles before 1994, sources consider Mikey Whipwreck the first Triple Crown Champion.^[5]

InTotal Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA – known as Impact Wrestling from 2017 to 2023), the Triple Crown was an accolade bestowed upon those who won (not necessarily concurrently) all threechampionships regularly contested in TNA between 2002 and 2007: theNWA World Heavyweight Championship, theTNA X Division Championship, and one-half of theNWA World Tag Team Championship. It was unknown whether or not those who won the NWA World Heavyweight and NWA World Tag Team Championships before or after TNA's acquisition and usage of the title belts would qualify for the Triple Crown.^[6]

In May 2007, TNA lost the rights to theNWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship and the NWA World Tag Team Championship and introduced theTNA World Heavyweight Championship and theTNA World Tag Team Championship. On July 8, 2007, Impact Wrestling (then known as TNA) stated that, should the then- X Division ChampionSamoa Joe win the TNA World Tag Team Championship, this would leave him "just one step shy of becoming only the second Triple Crown Champion". This indicates that the TNA World Heavyweight Championship and the TNA World Tag Team Championship are part of the existing Triple Crown accolade.^[7]

The following is a list of TNA Triple Crown winners with dates indicating the wrestler's first reign with the respective championship. Under TNA's definition of the Triple Crown, wrestlers are eligible to win the Triple Crown each time they complete a new circuit.

To date, A.J. Styles andEddie Edwards have won the TNA Triple Crown on more than one occasion, and Styles is the only wrestler to hold all of the eligible championships. Kurt Angle completed the Triple Crown the fastest, achieving it in a mere 92 days, between May and August 2007, and is the only wrestler to hold all the required championships at once.

Jordynne Grace became the first Knockouts Triple Crown winner after winning theTNA Knockouts World Championship, theTNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship and theTNA Digital Media Championship - which is an open title for both male and female wrestlers. On March 29, 2025, authority figure Santino Marella retired the Digital Media Championship to replace it with a new title. As a result of this, the number of future knockouts Triple Crown winner is limited to those that have held the Digital Media Title, therefore making Grace the only Knockouts Triple Crown winner as of 2025.^[8]

Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide had seven established titles in its promotion, but recognises theAAA Mega Championship, theAAA Latin American Championship and,World Tag Team Championship as its Triple Crown.^[10]

The IWGP Heavyweight and Intercontinental championships were retired in 2021, and it is unknown if NJPW considers their replacement, theIWGP World Heavyweight Championship, as a suitable accolade for the Triple Crown. It is also unknown if it considers theIWGP United States Heavyweight Championship as a part of the accolade, although it is considered part of their Grand Slam.

TheRing of Honor (ROH) Triple Crown originally was defined as theROH World Championship, theROH World Tag Team Championship, and theROH World Television Championship.^[16] It was later amended so that the World Championship and any combination of the Television, Tag Team orROH Pure Championship would qualify.^[17] TheROH World Six Man Tag Team Championship is not part of the Triple Crown, but when added to the Triple Crown it forms the ROH Grand Slam.

Eddie Edwards completed the ROH Triple Crown the fastest, and Samoa Joe completed it in the longest amount of time. Edwards completed it in 709 days, between April 2009 and March 2011, while Samoa Joe completed it in 6,962 days (19 years and 22 days), first winning the ROH World Championship in March 2003, and finally winning the ROH World Television Championship in April 2022.

InWWE (formerly known as the World Wide Wrestling Federation/WWWF and World Wrestling Federation/WWF),^[23][24] the term Triple Crown Champion has traditionally been used to describe a wrestler who has won theWWE Championship, theIntercontinental Championship, and theoriginal World Tag Team Championship.^[25] For a span of nearly 18 years, from 1979 up through 1997, these were the only three championships of the company, and a wrestler who won all three championships (not necessarily concurrently) was considered a "Triple Crown Champion".^[25][26] Until the 1990s, the accomplishment was extremely rare, withPedro Morales remaining the sole Triple Crown winner for more than a decade.

Following the firstbrand extension between 2002 and 2011, the now defunctWorld Heavyweight Championship and theWWE Tag Team Championship became alternate titles that could compose part of WWE's Triple Crown.^[27] After the respective unifications of the two world championships and two tag team championships, the only three eligible Triple Crown championships of WWE became the WWE Championship, Intercontinental Championship, and WWE Tag Team Championship (later called the Raw Tag Team Championship, now the World Tag Team Championship). A total of nine men have won all five eligible championships;Shawn Michaels,Triple H,Kane,Chris Jericho,Edge,Randy Orton,Jeff Hardy,Big Show andJohn Cena.

Although theUnited States Championship is the counterpart to the Intercontinental Championship, it has not been designated as an acceptable substitute for the Triple Crown, though in 2015, it became a required championship forWWE's Grand Slam. In July 2016, a second brand extension period began and two new titles were introduced: theUniversal Championship and theSmackDown Tag Team Championship (now known as the WWE Tag Team Championship). In January 2017, these were designated as acceptable substitutes for their counterpart titles in the Grand Slam, but WWE have not yet confirmed if they are acceptable substitutes for the Triple Crown. Only five wrestlers have become a Triple Crown winner since the new titles were established, and for three of them, although they have held one of the newer titles, their Triple Crown designation is recognized by their previous titles held (Seth Rollins andRoman Reigns have each held the Universal Championship whileKofi Kingston,The Miz,Jeff Hardy, andDaniel Bryan have each held the SmackDown Tag Team Championship, but these wrestlers had already held the required titles in those tiers). AtWrestleMania 36,Braun Strowman won the Universal Championship after previously holding the Intercontinental and Raw Tag Team Championships, but WWE did not recognize him as a Triple Crown winner. Since then,Kevin Owens andFinn Bálor have also completed WWE's Grand Slam with the Universal Championship, but neither are recognized as a Triple Crown winner.

In May 2023, WWE introduced a new version of theWorld Heavyweight Championship, the lineage of which does not share with the previous World Heavyweight Championship that was retired in 2013. It has not been confirmed if this title would serve as an acceptable substitute for the Triple Crown.

It took him 203 days between June 2008 and January 2009.^[28]John Cena holds the record for the most time between the first and third title. It took him 7,526 days between April 3, 2005, and November 10, 2025.^[29]
