Grand Slam (professional wrestling)


The Grand Slam is an accomplishment recognized by various professional wrestling promotions in the United States and Japan. It is a distinction given to a professional wrestler who has either won four specific championships within a promotion throughout their career, or all available championships. Promotions that recognize this include WWE, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, Ring of Honor, New Japan Pro-Wrestling, and All Elite Wrestling. The four titles typically include three singles championships, one of them usually being a world title, plus a tag team championship.

WWE

In WWE, the term "Grand Slam" was originally used by Shawn Michaels to describe himself upon winning the European Championship on September 20, 1997. Michaels previously held the WWF Championship, Intercontinental Championship, and the World Tag Team Championship—the titles that composed the Triple Crown.
In May 2001, the promotion's website indicated that the Hardcore Championship was an acceptable substitute for the European Championship in the Grand Slam. Kane, who had defeated Triple H for the Intercontinental Championship at Judgment Day on May 20, 2001, was acknowledged as a Grand Slam winner as he had "become the only superstar in World Wrestling Federation history that has held the Intercontinental title as well as the Hardcore, Tag Team and WWF titles".
In April 2006, Kurt Angle was noted as being a former Grand Slam winner on WWE.com, having won the WWE, WWE Tag Team, Intercontinental, and European Championship, indicating that WWE considered the WWE Tag Team Championship to be an acceptable substitute for the World Tag Team Championship. In August 2007, WWE.com published an article listing Shawn Michaels' championship reigns that completed the Grand Slam. They included the WWE, World Heavyweight, World Tag Team, Intercontinental, and European Championship. The inclusion of the World Heavyweight Championship indicated that WWE considered the title to be an acceptable substitute for the WWE Championship in completing the Grand Slam.
At ECW One Night Stand in June 2006, Rob Van Dam became the first superstar acquired by WWE after the purchase of World Championship Wrestling and Extreme Championship Wrestling in 2001 to complete the Grand Slam when he defeated John Cena for the WWE Championship. Booker T became the second star acquired by the purchase to complete the Grand Slam when he defeated Rey Mysterio for the World Heavyweight Championship at The Great American Bash in July 2006. Booker has held the World Tag Team, Intercontinental, and Hardcore titles. Also in 2006, WWE revived the ECW Championship and established it as a third world championship in its promotion. Despite this, however, the ECW Championship was never considered as a world title that was part of WWE's Grand Slam eligibility.
Following WrestleMania 31 in 2015, WWE established an updated version of the Grand Slam consisting of the four then-active men's titles in WWE: the WWE World, Intercontinental, United States, and WWE Tag Team Championships. Thirteen wrestlers have been recognized as Grand Slam winners under these new parameters. The brand extension was re-established a year later in 2016 and WWE indicated that two new championships that had been introduced, the Universal Championship and the SmackDown Tag Team Championship, would count as acceptable substitutes for their counterpart titles as part of the Grand Slam.
Chris Jericho completed the original format the fastest, completing it in 728 days between December 1999 and December 2001, while Kurt Angle completed the modern format the fastest, completing it in 966 days between February 2000 and October 2002. John Cena took the longest time to complete the modern format, doing so in 7,911 days between March 2004 and November 2025.
On February 21, 2021, WWE acknowledged The Miz as the first wrestler to complete the Grand Slam twice under the revised 2015 format after winning his second WWE Championship. Seth Rollins would become the second two-time Grand Slam Champion by winning the WWE United States Championship a second time in October 2022.
In May 2023, WWE added another world championship with a new version of the World Heavyweight Championship. As of 2026, it is still unclear if this title has been added as an acceptable substitute for WWE's Grand Slam.

List of WWE Grand Slam winners

As of ,, there have been 22 individual Grand Slam Champions. 17 wrestlers have only achieved it once; 7 under the original format and 10 under the modern format, while five wrestlers have achieved the Grand Slam under both formats, three of whom automatically became modern Grand Slam champions at the introduction of the modern format, and two who became modern Grand Slam champions after the modern format was introduced.
Original format (established 1997)
Revised format (established 2015)
The modern WWE Grand Slam consists of the WWE, Intercontinental, United States, and World Tag Team Championships. Two other championships—the Universal and WWE Tag Team Championships—were added in 2016 as alternative titles to the WWE title and Tag Team Championships respectively following the reintroduction of the brand extension. In regards to the United States Champion, due to its lineage, WWE only counts United States Championship reigns that took place in WWE since 2001, whether it bore the WCW or WWE moniker. For example, Edge and Kurt Angle each held the title when it was still referred to as the WCW United States Championship. Eddie Guerrero’s first reign does not count as a result of this rule, since it took place in WCW.

List of WWE Women's Grand Slam winners

In May 2019, Bayley was announced as WWE's first-ever Women's Grand Slam champion, having won the Raw, SmackDown, and NXT singles championships, and the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.
In late 2024/early 2025, WWE introduced two women's secondary titles for the main roster—the WWE Women's United States Championship and WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship. It has not yet been revealed how WWE will handle these in regards to the women's Grand Slam.
As of ,, there have been seven individual Women's Grand Slam champions. Rhea Ripley has completed the Grand Slam the fastest, completing it in 1,200 days between December 2019 and April 2023, while Becky Lynch took the longest time to complete the Grand Slam, doing so in 2,257 days between September 2016 and September 2023.
In August 2025, after Charlotte Flair won her second WWE Women's Tag Team Championship with Alexa Bliss, she became the first female to complete Grand Slam twice. Flair is also a six-time WWE Women's Champion, seven-time Women's World Champion and two-time NXT Women's Champion.

TNA Wrestling (2009)

The first Total Nonstop Action Wrestling Grand Slam winner was crowned on March 15, 2009, at TNA's Destination X pay-per-view event. At said event, then three-time TNA Triple Crown champion A.J. Styles defeated Booker T for the TNA Legends Championship. On the March 19 episode of TNA's primary television program, TNA Impact!, announcer Mike Tenay stated that Styles had become the first TNA Grand Slam winner by capturing the World Heavyweight, World Tag Team, X Division, and Legends Championships.
Under TNA's definition of the Grand Slam, wrestlers are eligible to be a multiple Grand Slam winner each time they complete a new circuit. Thus far, only A.J. Styles has won the Grand Slam on more than one occasion. On August 15, 2016, the TNA King of the Mountain Championship was once again retired when Lashley unified the title into his TNA World Heavyweight Championship. In an article from March 26, 2018, on the Impact Wrestling website, the eligibility of the Impact Grand Championship, which replaced the King of the Mountain Championship, as a Grand Slam title was confirmed. During a press conference on June 4, 2018, Austin Aries unified the Impact Grand Championship with the Impact World Title. The eligibility of the TNA International Championship was confirmed as a Grand Slam title after Frankie Kazarian won the TNA World Title in late 2025, with him previously holding the X Division, International, and Tag Team Titles.

Ring of Honor (2018)

In 2018, Ring of Honor established its own version of the Grand Slam, which consists of the ROH World Championship, ROH World Television Championship, ROH World Tag Team Championship, and ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship. Christopher Daniels was the first wrestler to achieve this feat, doing so at the ROH 16th Anniversary Show, when he won the Six-Man titles to complete the Grand Slam. After Jay Lethal won the ROH World Tag Team Championship, he was announced as a Grand Slam Champion since he had won the ROH Pure Championship in the past, indicating that the Pure and Six-Man Tag Team Titles are interchangeable as the fourth component to the ROH Grand Slam.
