Listing of men's professional wrestling world championships
WWE's inaugural world champion, Buddy Rogers, who became the WWWF World Heavyweight Champion in 1963, a title that is now known as the WWE Championship.
The American professional wrestling promotion WWE has maintained several men's world championships since Capitol Wrestling Corporation seceded from the National Wrestling Alliance in 1963 to become the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF), which was later subjected to various name changes, including World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE)—in April 2011, the company ceased using its full name and has since just been referred to as WWE. The company's first world championship was the WWE Championship, which was established along with the promotion's creation in 1963 as the WWWF World Heavyweight Championship; it is still active today and is WWE's oldest active title. Whenever the WWE brand extension has been implemented (2002–2011; 2016–present), separate world championships have been created or allocated for each brand.
WWE currently promotes three men's world championships. Two of them, the WWE Championship and the WWE Universal Championship, are held and defended together as the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship on the SmackDown brand. The third is the World Heavyweight Championship on Raw.
This article covers all men's world championships contested in WWE throughout its history, not those acquired by the company and never contested under its banner, although WWE may recognize some titles from outside the company for championship records, such as the NWA World Heavyweight Championship or the AWA World Heavyweight Championship.
