10 active WWE Superstars with the most title reigns

Modified Feb 03, 2019 05:12 GMT

The WWE has a long history laden with many titles and many controversial champions.

#9: Sheamus (11 combined title reigns)

Sheamus parlayed his success in the ring into a movie career, including playing Rocksteady in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out Of The Shadows

The Celtic Warrior Sheamus burst onto the scene in 2009 and has been in the title picture a lot on the main roster until recently in the last few years. He arrived as a main-event player when he beat John Cena for the WWE Championship in 2009.

Ever since then, Sheamus has held multiple titles on both Raw and SmackDown. In his WWE tenure, the Celtic Warrior has held the World Heavyweight Championship once, the WWE Championship three times and the United States Title twice.

More recently, he's made a mark in the tag team divisions of Raw and SmackDown, winning tag titles with Cesaro on five separate occasions.

While he now 40 years old, his time with gold might be coming to a close. He's reportedly been diagnosed with spinal stenosis, but it will allegedly be more of a problem for Sheamus later in life rather than currently.
