Triple Crown (professional wrestling)


The Triple Crown is an accomplishment recognized by various professional wrestling promotions. It is a distinction made to a professional wrestler who has won three of a single promotion's championships; specifically, a world championship, another singles championship, and a tag team championship. Promotions to officially recognize Triple Crown winners include WWE, All Elite Wrestling, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, Ring of Honor, Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, and National Wrestling Alliance as well as the defunct promotions World Championship Wrestling, Extreme Championship Wrestling, and Lucha Underground.

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling

In Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, the Triple Crown was an accolade bestowed upon those who won all three championships regularly contested in TNA between 2002 and 2007: the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, the TNA X Division Championship, and one-half of the NWA 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.
In May 2007, TNA lost the rights to the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship and the NWA World Tag Team Championship and introduced the TNA World Heavyweight Championship and the TNA World Tag Team Championship. On July 8, 2007, Impact Wrestling stated that, should the then- X Division Champion Samoa 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.

List of TNA Triple Crown winners

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 and Eddie 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 the TNA Knockouts World Championship, the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship and the TNA 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.

New Japan Pro-Wrestling

The New Japan Pro-Wrestling Triple Crown consisted of the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, the IWGP Intercontinental Championship and the NEVER Openweight Championship. The NJPW Triple Crown is unique as it consists of three singles championships, instead of a tag team championship in addition to two singles.
The IWGP Heavyweight and Intercontinental championships were retired in 2021 to create the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, although it was ultimately reverted into the Heavyweight title in 2026, with its champions retroactively being considered part of the original's lineage. It is unknown if NJPW considers the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship as a part of the accolade, or the IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship or NJPW World Television Championship that succeeded it.
