Triple Crown (professional wrestling)
Professional wrestling accomplishment
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 (AEW), Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), and Ring of Honor (ROH) as well as the defunct promotions World Championship Wrestling (WCW), Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), and Lucha Underground.
All Elite Wrestling
The All Elite Wrestling (AEW) Triple Crown was established on September 4, 2022, defined by company CEO Tony Khan as consisting of the AEW World Championship, the AEW World Tag Team Championship and the AEW World Trios Championship.[1] Kenny Omega became the first Triple Crown winner after becoming part of inaugural Trios Championship team at All Out.

Extreme Championship Wrestling
The Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) Triple Crown consisted of the ECW World Heavyweight Championship, the ECW World Television Championship and the ECW 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. While Johnny Hotbody won all three titles before 1994, sources consider Mikey Whipwreck the first Triple Crown Champion.[5]

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling

In Total 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 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.[6]
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 (then known as TNA) 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.[7]
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 Impact 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.[8]

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.[13] 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, and it is unknown if NJPW considers their replacement, the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, as a suitable accolade for the Triple Crown. It is also unknown if it considers the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship as a part of the accolade, although it is considered part of their Grand Slam.

Ring of Honor

The Ring of Honor (ROH) Triple Crown originally was defined as the ROH World Championship, the ROH World Tag Team Championship, and the ROH World Television Championship.[14] It was later amended so that the World Championship and any combination of the Television, Tag Team or ROH Pure Championship would qualify.[15] The ROH 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.

WWE
In WWE (formerly known as the World Wide Wrestling Federation/WWWF and World Wrestling Federation/WWF),[21][22] the term Triple Crown Champion has traditionally been used to describe a wrestler who has won the WWE Championship, the Intercontinental Championship, and the (now defunct) World Tag Team Championship (as shown above from left to right with The Miz).[23] 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".[23][24] Until the 1990s, the accomplishment was extremely rare, with Pedro Morales remaining the sole Triple Crown winner for more than a decade.
_Champion.jpg)
Following the first brand extension between 2002 and 2011, the (now defunct) World Heavyweight Championship and the WWE Tag Team Championship became alternate titles that could compose part of WWE's Triple Crown.[25] 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 (now called the Raw Tag Team Championship). A total of nine men have won all five eligible championships; Edge, Chris Jericho, Cody Rhodes, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Kane, Big Show, Jeff Hardy and Randy Orton.
Although the United 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 for WWE's Grand Slam. In July 2016, a second brand extension period began and two new titles were introduced: the Universal Championship and the SmackDown 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 and Roman Reigns have each held the Universal Championship while Kofi Kingston, The Miz, Jeff Hardy, and Daniel Bryan have each held the SmackDown Tag Team Championship, but these wrestlers had already held the required titles in those tiers). At WrestleMania 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 and Finn Bálor have also completed WWE's Grand Slam with the Universal championship, but neither is recognized as Triple Crown winners as well.
In May 2023, WWE introduced a new version of the World Heavyweight Championship, the lineage of which does not share with the previous WWE 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.
CM Punk holds the record for completing the Triple Crown in the shortest amount of time between the first and third title. It took him 203 days between June 2008 and January 2009.[26] The wrestler holding the record for most time between the first and third title is Cody Rhodes, for whom it took 5,963 days between December 2007 and April 2024.[27]

List of WWE Tag Team Triple Crown winners
The following is a list of WWE Tag Team Triple Crown winners, indicating they have won all three of the tag team championships for men (Raw/World Tag Team, SmackDown/WWE Tag Team, and NXT) currently available in WWE. Dates indicate the wrestler's first reign with the respective championship. Only tag teams who have completed this are included, individuals such as Jason Jordan and Chad Gable (who won the NXT and SmackDown Tag Team championships as a team, but won the Raw Tag Team Championship separately) are excluded.
The WWE Tag Team Triple Crown was established after The Revival won the SmackDown Tag Team Championships in September 2019.[31] The Street Profits has to date completed the Men's Tag Team Triple Crown the fastest, with 499 days between their first qualifying title win and Triple Crown achieving win.
With his NXT Tag Team Championship win with New Day teammate Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston became the first (and thus far only) wrestler to have won both the traditional and tag team version of the WWE Triple Crown.[32]

List of WWE Women's Triple Crown winners
On May 22, 2019, a women's Triple Crown was established, consisting of (from left to right above with Bayley) the WWE Women's Championship (previously known as the Raw Women's Championship), Women's World Championship (previously known as the SmackDown Women's Championship), and the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. With the announcement, Bayley - who had won the SmackDown Women's Championship for the first time three days prior - was recognized as the inaugural WWE Women's Triple Crown Champion, after having previously held the Raw and Women's Tag Team championships.[33]
Bayley has been referred to as a Grand Slam Champion after her win, having also held the NXT Women's Championship.[34][35] Asuka has to date completed the Women's Triple Crown the fastest, with 486 days between her first qualifying title win and Triple Crown achieving win.
