#2 JBL is a Triple Crown winner in WWE

The reign of JBL as WWE Champion dominated SmackDown in 2004. It was by far the greatest run of the WWE Hall of Famer's career. A few years before this remarkable stretch, JBL enjoyed a lot of success as Bradshaw during the height of the Attitude Era. Alongside Faarooq, he captured the WWE Tag Team Championship three times.

Still, he was missing a mid-card championship, so it looked like JBL wouldn't become a Triple Crown winner after he sustained a serious back injury. He had to take some time away from the ring, but the legend eventually returned for one last run.

During this final chapter, JBL won the Intercontinental Championship when he eefeated CM Punk on Monday Night RAW on March 9, 2009. As a result, his name is on the impressive list of Triple Crown winners.


#1 AJ Styles is a Triple Crown winner in WWE

There is no denying that AJ Styles is phenomenal. He finally joined the WWE roster in 2016 and immediately made a name for himself in the prmotion. In the same year, he won the WWE Championship for the first time.

Styles is a true legend in the professional wrestling world, and it would have been a shame if he hadn't become a Triple Crown winner. Thankfully, Styles added the Intercontinental Championship to his accolades in June 2020, and he later won the RAW Tag Team Championship in April 2021. These wins secured his legacy as one of the greatest of all time, and they also established his place on the list of Triple Crown winners.
