5 WWE stars who have won all major titles in WWE and 5 who surprisingly have not

So many titles!!
So many titles!

In the WWE's storied history, there hasn't been a single WWE Superstar who has won all available titles in the WWE - simply because many titles have been retired (European, Hardcore, ECW) and many superstars would not be eligible for certain Championships like the Cruiserweight title.

However, it is possible to determine the Superstars that have captured all the major titles in the WWE. There would be many surprising omissions from the list, though.

Did you know that Hulk Hogan has never captured the Intercontinental, United States, European or Hardcore titles?

This list considers the WWE title, Universal title, United States Championship, Intercontinental Championship and any Tag team title (RAW/Smack Down/WWE/World) as the requirements for completing the active title grand slam.

This list includes five Superstars who have won all the major titles in the WWE and five who have surprisingly not.

Superstars who have retired before the introduction of the Universal title have also been included in the list, but superstars like The Miz, Chris Jericho and the Big Show who are still active and have not won the Universal title have been excluded.

Also excluded are those Superstars who have won a qualifying title outside the WWE - e.g. Ric Flair never captured the US title in the WWE but did so in WCW.

Bret Hart gets an honorary mention on the list for winning the WWE Championship, Intercontinental Championship, United States Championship and the Tag team titles in the WWE.

However, he never captured the European title in the WWE at a time when it was considered equivalent to the US title in present day WWE. Also, Hart's US title victory came at the expense of the Miz in a farcical match a decade after he had officially retired from in-ring action.


#1 Randy Orton - No

Something missing from your title cabinet, Randy???
Something missing from your title cabinet, Randy?

Randy Orton has been with the WWE for the last 16 years and has won numerous titles in the company. However, most of those titles have been the WWE/World Heavyweight Championships; "The Viper" has 13 of them.

This means that Orton has not challenged for the secondary titles very often. He did win the Intercontinental title way back in 2003 and has won the tag team titles with the likes of Edge and Bray Wyatt.

But Orton misses out on the list of WWE Grandslam Champions as he has never captured the United States Championship. Ironically, Orton has won a match for the United States title, though.

Back in 2006, Chris Benoit and Booker T engaged in a best of seven series for the US title. With the series tied at 3-3 and Booker injured, Orton substituted for Booker in the final match and beat Benoit. However, under WWE rules this meant that Booker won the series and the Championship.

#2 JBL - Yes

JBL has held them all
JBL has held them all

Excluding a slightly misleading 18 runs as Hardcore Champion -- at a time when the title was defended under 24*7 rules leading to multiple championship reigns lasting mere minutes -- JBL has won just seven titles during his 20-year career in the WWE.

However, in addition to his three reigns as WWE tag team champion as part of the APA, JBL has won the WWE, Intercontinental and the United States title once each which qualifies him for the Grandslam.

His first singles title victory came in 2001 when he beat The Hurricane for the European Championship on RAW.

Uniquely, JBL has either won or lost all his primary singles titles at a Wrestlemania.

JBL held the WWE title for nearly a year in 2004 before losing it to John Cena at Wrestlemania 21. The next Wrestlemania, he beat Chris Benoit to win the US title.

At Wrestlemania 25, he lost his Intercontinental title to Rey Mysterio in a record 21 seconds which turned out to be his final WWE match.

#3 Triple H - No

Something missing?
Something missing?

Triple H was the second man to win the old WWE Grandslam after Shawn Michaels - winning the WWE, European, Intercontinental and Tag team titles. But like Michaels, Triple H misses out on capturing all available WWE titles due to his inability to win the United States Championship.

In all fairness to Hunter, he has never challenged for the US title on WWE TV and by the time it was introduced in the company, he was a main event player and it didn't make sense for him to challenge for a secondary title.

But the fact remains that despite having 12 years to capture the crown, the US title has eluded Triple H.

#4 Eddie Guerrero - Yes

Eddie Guerrero as WWE Champion

It is entirely probable that WWE's last decade would have been completely different had Eddie Guerrero not tragically passed away in 2005. Only 38 years old at the time, Guerrero was the most popular Superstar in the company and looked set to have a sustained presence in the main event of the card.

Guerrero was feuding with the World Heavyweight Champion Batista at the time and looked ready to have another run with the title before his death. However, during his relatively short career in the WWE (five years), Guerrero had already won every title available.

Guerrero's first title was the European Championship which he gained by beating Chris Jericho. He would win the title once more, defeating Test.

He also became a two-time Intercontinental Champion with victories over Chyna and Rob Van Dam and he also captured the United States title defeating Chris Benoit.

Guerrero was also a four-time tag team Champion, partnering with the likes of Chavo Guerrero, Rey Mysterio and Tajiri.

But his greatest accomplishment in the WWE was when he won the WWE Championship against Brock Lesnar at No Way Out 2004 and successfully defended the title against Kurt Angle at that year's Wrestlemania.

#5 Kurt Angle - Yes

Ku
Kurt Angle has won it all too

The only man other than Chris Jericho to win all the featured titles in the WWE (except for the Universal title) is the current General Manager of RAW, Kurt Angle. What makes the achievement all the more remarkable is that it took Angle less than three years into his professional wrestling career to accomplish the feat.

In fact, before his debut year in the WWE had gone by, Angle had already captured the Intercontinental, European and the WWF titles in addition to winning the King of the Ring title.

"The Wrestling Machine" would go on to win the WCW Heavyweight title, the United States title and the Hardcore title during his second year in the WWE. He also claimed the only title that had eluded him by capturing the inaugural WWE tag team titles alongside Chris Benoit the next year.

To think that it happened in 2002 -- 15 years before Chris Jericho won the United States title to join Angle in the most exclusive club ever -- shows how great an entertainer Kurt Angle is.

#6 Edge - Yes

Edge's first WWE title win was just the start of an awesome journey
Edge's first WWE title win was just the start of an awesome journey

It is not at all surprising to find that Edge has won every title in the WWE. Edge's rise in the WWE has been a text book version of how character development should happen in any promotion.

Starting out as a tag team specialist, Edge dominated the scene and won 14 tag titles to lay claim to being one of the greatest tag team wrestlers of all time, predominantly partnering Christian and later with the likes of Randy Orton and Rey Mysterio.

After his split with Christian, Edge became a solid upper mid-carder and won the United States/Intercontinental title six times to become one of the greatest workhorses of the early to mid-2000s.

Edge then cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase and captured the WWE Championship to cement his run to the main event. That phase would see the Rated R Superstar win 11 WWE/World Heavyweight titles, staking his claim to being one of the greatest main event players of all time.

To conclude, with 31 total championships, Edge could have been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame based on the accolades that he received during any of his three phases in the company.

#7 John Cena - No

He has the cash and the girl - but is there something that is amiss??
He has achieved a lot in the world of wrestling, but is there something missing?

A surprise omission from the list of WWE Grandslam Champions is none other than the biggest star of the current decade, John Cena.

A winner of 25 titles in the WWE, Cena's main event status meant that 16 of them were either the WWE or the World Heavyweight Championships. Cena is also a five-time US Champion and a four-time tag team Champion besides being a two-time Royal Rumble winner and a three time Slammy award winner for Superstar of the year.

But one title conspicuous by its absence from Cena's trophy cabinet is the Intercontinental title. While Cena was an up and comer in the WWE, he was assigned to the Smackdown brand where as the IC title was on the RAW brand.

In fact, Cena came to RAW as the WWE Champion and never got a chance to compete for the title.

#8 The Shield - No

They
They have a lot of silverware between them

Even though the list has individual superstars, I am including all three members of The Shield on the list considering how they are the future of the WWE. In fact, all three former members of The Shield are just one title away from completing the WWE Grandslam.

All three members of The Shield have captured the WWE/Universal Championship, but it is the secondary titles that keep them from capturing the Grandslam.

Dean Ambrose has won both the United States and Intercontinental titles but has never captured the tag team title. Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins -- who won the tag titles while they were part of the Shield -- have won the United States title, but not the Intercontinental title.

Expect the trio to close the deal in the near future, though.

#9 The Undertaker - No

He has held the WWE title - but what about the rest?
He has held the WWE title - but what about the rest?

Being the longest tenured wrestler in the WWE, many would have expected The Undertaker to win all the titles in the company. However, the fact is that "The Deadman" is not even close to completing the WWE Grandslam.

Taker has won 15 titles in the WWE - seven World titles and Tag team tiles each and one Hardcore title. He has never won the Intercontinental title or the United States title.

As 'Mean' Mark Callous, he wrestled for the US title in WCW against Lex Luger in a losing effort. As far as the IC title is concerned, Undertaker did wrestle for it during his initial days but lost in his signature Casket match to the then IC Champion, Goldust, of all people.

#10 Daniel Bryan - Yes

Daniel Bryan has got all the gold
Daniel Bryan has got all the gold

A three-time WWE Champion and a one-time World Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan has also won the Intercontinental, United States and Tag team titles during his six-year run with the company.

Bryan's first title was the US Championship which he gained by beating The Miz. He then followed it up by winning the World Heavyweight title against the Big Show and then captured the tag team titles alongside Kane as part of the widely successful 'Team Hell No' gimmick.

He then went on to have a prominent feud with The Authority resulting in winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at the main event of Wrestlemania 30.

Injuries started to take its toll on Bryan and a year later, he captured the Intercontinental title at Wrestlemania before going on to announce his retirement a few months later.
