List of current champions in WWE

Alberto Del Rio is in his second reign as WWE Champion.

WWE is a professional wrestling promotion based in Stamford, Connecticut. Title reigns are either determined by professional wrestling matches or are awarded to a wrestler, as a result of the culmination of various scripted storylines. WWE assigns its employees onto two programs or divisions known as WWE Brands. The two brands and programs are Raw and SmackDown. Every month there is one pay-per-view produced by WWE. Currently there are four active singles championships, one active tag team championship, a championship for the female wrestlers, and an unsanctioned title. Eight wrestlers currently hold the championships. The list includes the number of times the wrestler has held the title, the date and location of the win, and a description of the winning bout. The following is correct as of November 15, 2011.

At the top of WWE's championship hierarchy, the WWE Championship is currently held by Alberto Del Rio who is in his second reign as WWE Champion, while the World Heavyweight Championship is held by Mark Henry. Del Rio won the WWE Championship on October 2, 2011 at Hell in a Cell when he defeated John Cena in a Triple Threat Hell in a Cell match that also involved CM Punk, while Henry is in his first reign as World Heavyweight Champion after defeating Randy Orton at Night of Champions on September 18, 2011.

The two secondary titles in WWE are the WWE Intercontinental Championship and the WWE United States Championship. The current Intercontinental Champion is Cody Rhodes who is in his first reign after defeating Ezekiel Jackson on August 9, 2011 at the taping of the August 12 edition of SmackDown. Dolph Ziggler is the reigning WWE United States Champion, and is in his first reign after defeating Kofi Kingston at Capitol Punishment on June 19, 2011. Air Boom (Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston) are the current holders of the WWE Tag Team Championship, who are in their first reign as a team. They defeated the former champions David Otunga and Michael McGillicutty in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on the August 22, 2011 edition of Raw. As of 11/1/11, Bourne is serving a suspension for a violation of the Wellness Policy.

There is one championship that is challenged by WWE Divas. Beth Phoenix is presently in her first reign as WWE Divas Champion as a result of defeating Kelly Kelly at Hell in a Cell on October 2, 2011.
