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 (since 1997), Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (since 2009), Ring of Honor (since 2018), New Japan Pro-Wrestling (since 2021), and All Elite Wrestling (since 2025). The four titles typically include three singles championships, one of them usually being a world title, plus a tag team championship.
U.S. national promotions WWE
In WWE (formerly WWF), 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 (which four years earlier ended the brand extension and unified several titles before that) 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 (including five who were already recognized as Grand Slam winners under the original guidelines). 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 (which would be retired in April 2024) and the SmackDown Tag Team Championship, would count as acceptable substitutes for their counterpart titles (WWE Championship and WWE Tag Team, now World Tag Team, respectively) 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.
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 23 individual Grand Slam Champions. 18 wrestlers have only achieved it once; 7 under the original format and 11 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 (with the same titles they won while becoming original Grand Slam champions), and two who became modern Grand Slam champions after the modern format was introduced (with different titles won to complete both formats).

Revised format (established 2015)
The modern WWE Grand Slam consists of the WWE, Intercontinental, United States, and World Tag Team (formerly WWE/Raw Tag Team) Championships. Two other championships—the Universal and WWE Tag Team (formerly SmackDown 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.
