Becoming a Grand Slam Champion is considered one of the ultimate achievements in WWE, as it means that a Superstar has won pretty much every Championship available to him. Or at least every level of titles possible.
This distinction is bestowed upon any wrestler who has won four different titles in WWE, namely the World, Tag Team, and Intercontinental Championships, along with another secondary title, which is the United States Title right now.
A myriad of WWE legends have won the Grand Slam, as have several current members of the roster. Among those Grand Slam Champions still in WWE are Daniel Bryan, Roman Reigns, and Randy Orton, with many others also on this illustrious list.
Many other current WWE stars are nearly accomplished enough to call themselves a Grand Slam Champion, with only one title left to be won. This feat is definitely achievable for them. Here are five Superstars who are just one title away from winning the WWE Grand Slam.
#5 Sheamus (WWE Intercontinental Championship)
Sheamus is one Championship away from achieving everything possible in WWE. Aside from all the titles he has won, the Celtic Warrior is one of only three WWE Superstars to win King of the Ring, Money in the Bank, and the Royal Rumble.
It has been well documented how decorated Sheamus' WWE career is, with him being vocal about winning the Intercontinental Championship to complete his collection. And now, with him being on SmackDown, he has as good a chance as any to finally win the IC Title.
Sheamus remains a solid part of the Blue brand's upper midcard, having had runs as a main eventer in the past, as well as a multi-year-long partnership with Cesaro which yielded five Tag Team Championships. He also held the United States Title twice, with neither of his reigns being the most memorable.
The Celtic Warrior's most infamous victory was perhaps when he won his first WWE Title, against John Cena at TLC 2009. Sheamus had barely been on WWE TV at this point. Fast forward to over a decade later and he is still going strong as an in-ring veteran, in the best shape of his career.
#4 AJ Styles (WWE Tag Team Championship)
Ever since finally signing for WWE in 2016, AJ Styles has become one of the company's greatest Superstars. He is excellent in the ring and has done some great character work, shaking things up whenever necessary. Styles has been extremely successful over the past four and a half years.
The Phenomenal One became WWE Champion less than eight months after debuting at the Royal Rumble, following up with impressive performances against top stars like Roman Reigns and John Cena. His second WWE Title reign lasted over a year, proving the trust he has earned from management.
Styles also won both midcard titles at various times, particularly in the middle of the year between WrestleMania and SummerSlam. That is when he earned his two United States Titles as well as the Intercontinental Title he still holds today.
And with that recent victory over Daniel Bryan, AJ Styles is a tag title away from completing the WWE Grand Slam. However, it is difficult to see who he would team with to become a Tag Team Champion. The likely option would have been a Freebird reign with Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, but they got released in April.
#3 Kevin Owens (WWE Tag Team Championship)
He may not have won a Championship in the past three years, but Kevin Owens has accomplished a lot in WWE. Despite this long drought, he has won six titles on the main roster. KO was even the top Champion on RAW, holding the Universal Championship in its early days back in 2016.
The former NXT Champion also won multiple United States and Intercontinental Championships, making him a regular in WWE's upper midcard scene. Owens only requires a Tag Team Title to join the illustrious group of Grand Slam Champions, but that may not be an easy task, especially for him.
We know how well Owens has played with others, turning on many partners of his at will. Sami Zayn, Chris Jericho, and even The New Day have fallen for his devious ways. It is fair to say that his track record proves that he cannot be trusted, although KO has recently made several good friends in WWE and NXT as a babyface.
Kevin Owens has had temporary partnerships with Samoa Joe and Apollo Crews against common enemies, with neither of them lasting that long. But they showed that KO may have turned a corner and could be a trusted ally again. Once he returns to WWE, a tag title reign should not be far away. Perhaps, we could even see him reunite with his best friend, Sami Zayn.
#2 Charlotte Flair (WWE Women's Tag Team Championship)
Since the introduction of the Women's Tag Team Championship last year, women could become WWE Grand Slam Champions too. The four titles in question are the RAW, SmackDown and NXT Women's Championships, along with the Tag Team Titles.
Bayley was the first one to achieve it after her SmackDown Women's Championship victory at last year's Money in the Bank, with Asuka following suit a year later with the RAW Women's Championship. Another few women's Grand Slam Champions will be coming in the future, with Charlotte Flair a likely candidate.
Having won the three singles titles a combined 11 times, all Charlotte has to do to win the Grand Slam is co-exist with a tag team partner and win gold with her. Her superior being on the roster makes it unlikely to happen any time soon. The Queen has challenged for the Women's Tag Team Championship before, alongside Becky Lynch in a losing effort to the Kabuki Warriors at TLC.
With the grandeur in which WWE has presented Charlotte, expect them to give her a short tag title reign at some point, even if it is only to make her a Grand Slam Champion.
If Becky returns to WWE following her pregnancy, Charlotte Flair could have a mini-reunion tour with her and win the Women's Tag Team Championship for a short while.
#1 Sasha Banks (SmackDown Women's Championship)
While Charlotte Flair is the biggest star in WWE's women's division, there is nobody hotter than Sasha Banks right now. She is doing an excellent job on RAW, SmackDown and NXT alongside Bayley. The two of them are the highlight of WWE right now, with the story between them building perfectly.
Once the Legit Boss defeats Bayley to become the SmackDown Women's Champion, whether it is soon or a long time away, she will become a WWE Grand Slam Champion as well. Banks has won every other active title in WWE today, currently holding the Tag Team Championship with her best friend.
Her run as NXT Women's Champion was sensational, carving out classics against the rest of the Four Horsewomen. However, Banks has not had much success with singles gold on the WWE main roster. She has never successfully defended the RAW Women's Championship, despite winning it four times.
Sasha's next Women's Title reign will surely spark a change in fortunes, especially considering the work she has been putting in over the past couple of months. Hopefully, WWE continues to push the act and the story. It has been consistently entertaining, with the promise of being ultimately rewarding.
Sasha Banks has proven over the past few months that she is one of the greatest females to ever step foot in a WWE ring. When she wins the SmackDown Women's Title and completes the WWE Grand Slam, there will be no doubt about it. The Boss will finally get her due justice.
