10 active WWE Superstars with the most title reigns

What is the best case for a superstar being worthy of induction in the WWE Hall of Fame? While many would consider the number of titles a superstar has won as one of the main factors towards an induction, remember that someone like Koko B. Ware is in the Hall of Fame.

But if a list of titles was the main criteria by which superstars were judged, whom from the current WWE roster would then be considered Hall-of-Fame bound?

Would someone like John Cena, Brock Lesnar or Kane be worthy? How about someone like Dean Ambrose or Seth Rollins?

For this list, I'm only considering wrestlers who have had at least one match within the last sixth months. Therefore, someone like The Rock won't be on this list.

The titles being considered are the WWE Championship, the World Heavyweight Championship/Universal Championship, the Tag Team Titles, the Intercontinental Championship and the United States Title.

Of the current roster in WWE, here are the ten superstars with the most combined title reigns during their time in the WWE.

#10: Tie - Seth Rollins and Rey Mysterio (9 combined title reigns each)

While he has only been on the main roster since 2013, Seth Rollins has the same number of combined title reigns as future Hall-of-Famer Rey Mysterio.

Mysterio has won the Intercontinental Championship twice and is a four-time tag team champion. He held the tag titles with four different partners - Batista, Eddie Guerrero, Rob Van Dam and Edge.

He has also held the WWE Championship once and the World Heavyweight Championship, or 'Big Gold Belt', twice.

Mysterio's last championship was in 2011 when he defeated the Miz in a tournament to crown a new WWE Champion after CM Punk had 'departed' WWE with his WWE Championship.

In his six-plus years on the main roster, Rollins has captured the Intercontinental Championship twice, the United State Championship once and the tag team titles four times. His partners during the tag team title reigns include Dean Ambrose (two times, Roman Reigns and Jason Jordan. He's also held the WWE Championship twice.

Will he soon add a possible Universal Championship to his list of titles thus breaking his tie with Mysterio? We can only hope.

#9: Sheamus (11 combined title reigns)

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.

#8: Dolph Ziggler (12 combined title reigns)

Although he always seems to be losing to someone destined for bigger things, the fact remains that Dolph Ziggler has an impressive resume about which he could boast about.

The former caddie for Chavo Guerrero has a list of championships that should net him a spot in the WWE Hall of Fame once he retires. Ziggler has held the WWE Championship twice and had one of the most memorable Money in the Bank cash-ins on Alberto Del Rio in 2013.

While Ziggler has mainly been a mainstay in the mid-card, he has held the Intercontinental Championship six times and the United States Championship twice.

He's also held the Tag Team Titles twice, once as a member of the Spirit Squad and more recently with Drew McIntyre. What else is in store for the Showoff now that he's likely on the back end of his career?

#7: The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels (13 combined titles reigns each)

The Undertaker is synonymous with WWE since he has been with the company since 1990. And since he's been such a loyal member of the WWE roster, it's no surprise that his career has been filled with gold.

He was usually a main-event superstar, collecting three WWE Championships and four World Heavyweight Championships when that title was still around.

During his career, he's also held tag team titles on six different occasions with several partners. He's been tag team champs with Kane and the Big Show twice each as well as singular reigns with Stone Cold Steve Austin and the Rock.

Not to be outdone by one of his main rivals in WWE, Shawn Michaels has also held gold in the WWE on 13 occasions.

Unlike the Undertaker, however, Michaels has held gold from the mid-card to the main event in WWE. Throughout his illustrious career, Michaels has held the Intercontinental Championship three times and the tag team titles six different times.

He's also been the WWE Champion three times while holding the World Heavyweight Championship once in his tenure with WWE. Didn't it seem like he was a major champion more than that?

#6: The Big Show (14 combined title reigns)

While he hasn't been on television much over the past few months, The Big Show was a huge part of WWE during the late 1990s and throughout the 2000s.

Since he's such a rare talent, he was pushed to numerous titles throughout his tenure as a WWE Superstar.

In his storied career, the Big Show has captured the World Heavyweight Championship and WWE Championship on two occasions each.

More impressively, he's an eight-time tag team champion holding the titles with what seems like a who's who of partners, including Chris Jericho, the Miz, Kane and the Undertaker. Show has also held mid-card gold as he's held the Intercontinental Title and the United State Championship once each.

His days as a featured superstar are over, unless they want to use him to put over young monsters from NXT like Lars Sullivan or someone like Samoa Joe.

#5: TIE - Kofi Kingston, Jeff Hardy and Kane (15 combined title reigns)

As the longest-tenured member of the New Day, Kofi Kingston has done a lot during his WWE tenure.

While never given a shot as a main-event star, Kingston has become a valuable member of the mid-card scene and an integral member of WWE's tag team divisions. As a singles star, Kingston has held the Intercontinental Championship four times and the US Championship three times.

Perhaps his greatest contribution to WWE has been in the tag team division, as he is an eight-time tag team champion.

Outside of the record-breaking reign of the New Day, Kingston has also held the tag titles with CM Punk, R Truth and Evan Bourne. He also holds the WWE record of cumulative days as a tag team champion in WWE.

Jeff Hardy has been all over the place in terms of booking in WWE. He started out as a tag team specialist and remained as such when he returned to WWE recently. Hardy is a seven-time tag team champion in WWE.

But he also had success in the singles ranks, winning the Intercontinental title four times and the US Championship twice. His main-event reigns include two WWE Championships and on World Heavyweight title reign.

Kane has been a main-eventer here and there, but his biggest impact in WWE has been as a tag team champion. The Big Red Machine is an 11-time tag team champ with partners like the Undertaker, Daniel Bryan and Rob Van Dam.

He has also held the IC Title twice, the WWE Championship once and even in the World Heavyweight Championship once in his time with the WWE. Hopefully, his success as a mayor follows his success in the tag team division.

#4: Randy Orton (16 combined title reigns)

Randy Orton has been a mainstay in the upper echelon of WWE for the last decade. If John Cena or Triple H wasn't holding major titles, it was often Orton who was.

Whether as a member of Evolution or Legacy, Orton carried gold more times than a lot of superstars combined could ever dream to.

Since he's mainly been a top champion in WWE, he's held both the US Title and the IC Title once each. He's also only had one reign as a tag team champion back when he and Edge were Team Rated RKO.

As world champ, however, Orton trails only Cena and Triple H for this list's purposes. Orton has held the World Heavyweight Championship four times and is a nine-time WWE Champion.

While one would think that Orton would be moving into a part-time role at this point in his career, he seems to still be going full time, meaning that there could be more titles in his future.

#3: The Miz (18 combined title reigns)

What Orton has been to the main event of Raw and SmackDown, The Miz has been to the mid-card and tag team divisions. While he only had one WWE Championship reign (when he cashed in his Money in the Bank on Orton), he successfully defended it against John Cena at WrestleMania 27.

The A-Lister is an eight-time Intercontinental Champion and a two-time United States Champion. As is the case currently, the Miz has also been a mainstay in the tag team division, having won the tag teams titles seven different times.

Along with Shane McMahon, the Miz has held the tag titles with John Cena, John Morrison, the Big Show and Damien Mizdow.

Will his current status as a tag champ with Shane McMahon bear fruit in the form of another shot at main-event gold, or is this storyline simply going to run its course as the two partners simply part ways. Someone is going to turn on the other, right?

#2: Triple H (22 combined title reigns)

If you followed the WWE in the late 1990s or the early-to-mid 2000s, not much time went by without Triple H holding one of the main championships in WWE. It turned a lot of people off that he was so dominant in the title scene back then, but WWE was in a weird state in the 2003-2007 days.

They had just lost The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin while Brock Lesnar left the WWE almost as soon as he arrived. Thus it can be said that Triple H, although constantly a champion during those days, helped keep the WWE stable during times of transition.

In his illustrious WWE career, the Game held the Intercontinental Championship five times and the tag team titles on three separate occasions. When he was the franchise player in WWE, Triple H held the WWE Championship nine different times and the World Heavyweight Championship five different times.

As if his impact as a wrestler wasn't big enough to WWE, his impact as a creator and a behind the scenes personality is arguably more important to WWE.

#1: John Cena (25 combined title reigns)

Remember when you couldn't turn on a WWE program without seeing Cena holding one of the major titles in WWE? Well, a lot has obviously changed over the last few years. He's followed the Rock to Hollywood but is at least still a part-time wrestler for the WWE, unlike the Rock.

It did seem like Cena ruled the main-event scene of WWE forever, but let's not forget what he did for the United States Championship. He had five reigns as US Champ, but in his later reigns with the title, his 'US Open Challenge' often gave chances to wrestlers lower in the pecking order.

Cena often had a match of the night when he was challenged by the likes of Neville, Kevin Owens and Cesaro.

He has even held the tag titles four times, but usually as a storyline device to stir discord between the partners. He's held the titles with the Miz, Batista, Shawn Michaels and David Otunga.

But alas, we all remember Cena for winning the title almost on a yearly basis. As a WWE Superstar, Cena has held the World Heavyweight Championship three times and the WWE Championship on 13 different occasions.

At least we don't have to see that awful spinner title he used to have. If any title deserved to be tossed in the garbage, it was that one and not the now-former WWE Championship belt.
