Recently, Finn Balor won the WWE NXT Championship for the second time, adding his name to the list of two-time winners. Soon, there may be potential for fans to see the first-ever three-time NXT Champion.
Over the years, there have been many performers who have won the same championship multiple times. Sometimes, Superstars quickly win back titles that they have dropped in rematches.
It is not unusual for WWE Superstars to win the same title more than once - some stars have won the same championships time and time again, especially tag team champions, and winners of the 24/7 title, which often changes multiple times in one night.
Stars with multiple reigns with the same championship have come and gone in WWE, but here are five current-day WWE Superstars who have won the same title three times in their careers.
#5 Kofi Kingston is a three-time WWE United States Champion
Kofi Kingston has won a multitude of championships in his WWE career. Back in June 2009, Kingston won the United States Championship for the first time. He defeated MVP to win the title, after winning a triple threat match to become the number one contender for the championship.
Kingston managed to hold onto the title for months, defending it on many PPV shows including Hell in a Cell and Extreme Rules. He lost the title to The Miz, ending his reign at 126 days.
Almost two years later, Kofi Kingston became United States Champion for the second time. He defeated Sheamus at Extreme Rules after performing a Boom Drop off the top rope, sending the Celtic Warrior through a table. As Kingston was a Superstar performing on RAW at the time, the title moved to the Red brand.
Kingston lost the championship to Dolph Ziggler after a 49-day reign. Again, it would be almost two years until he won the title again. Kofi Kingston won the United States title for a third time from Cesaro on an episode of RAW. The third reign that Kofi had with this championship was his shortest (34 days), as he lost the title at Extreme Rules to Dean Ambrose.
#4 John Morrison is a three-time WWE Intercontinental Champion
John Morrison made a big return to WWE in 2019 after a hiatus, joining forces with The Miz to work as a tag team. Morrison has been the winner of many championship titles during his WWE career, and most recently enjoyed a reign as a Tag Team Champion.
Back when he was known as Johnny Nitro, Morrison won the WWE Intercontinental Championship. He faced off against Shelton Benjamin and Carlito to come out on top. His first reign lasted 99 days until Jeff Hardy (who is currently the Intercontinental Champion) beat him on an episode of RAW.
The title was a big part of the rivalry between the pair. Morrison was able to win the belt back from Hardy 34 days later on an episode of RAW, which was his second and shortest reign with the championship, lasting just a week.
John Morrison wouldn't get his hands back on the Intercontinental Championship until three years later. He won the title on a September 2009 episode of SmackDown. Morrison's third reign with the championship was the longest, lasting an impressive 100 days before he was dethroned by a young Drew McIntyre.
#3 Alexa Bliss is a three-time WWE RAW Women's Champion
Alexa Bliss is a fan-favorite in WWE and is currently embroiled in a storyline with 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt. Bliss has won many accolades during her WWE career, including the first female Superstar to win both the RAW and SmackDown Women's Championships.
Alexa Bliss won the RAW Women's Championship for the first time from Bayley at Payback 2017. In the build-up towards the PPV, Bliss had won a fatal four-way match against Nia Jax, Mickie James, and Sasha Banks to become the #1 contender for the championship, and attacked Bayley on numerous occasions before they faced off against one another.
The first reign with the RAW Women's Championship for Alexa Bliss lasted 111 days, where she lost to Sasha Banks at SummerSlam. However, Bliss quickly won back the championship after 80, beginning her second reign, which lasted a whopping 222 days.
Bliss' second time as RAW Women's Champion came to an end at WrestleMania 34. She was engaged in an intense storyline with Nia Jax, who defeated Bliss to become champion of The Red brand.
Alexa Bliss began her third and shortest reign as RAW Women's Champion at Money in the Bank 2018, after winning the title back from Nia Jax. Bliss cashed in the Money in the Bank contract, which she had won earlier that night. Her third time with the belt came to an end 63 days later when Ronda Rousey won it away from her at SummerSlam.
#2 Roman Reigns is a three-time WWE Champion
Currently, Roman Reigns is the reigning WWE Universal Champion after winning the title from 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt at Payback. The Big Dog is now in his second reign with the title. Before this, Reigns has enjoyed multiple championship wins.
Most notably, Roman Reigns has been a three-time WWE Champion. He won the title for the first time at Survivor Series 2015, defeating Dean Ambrose. However, this reign was very short-lived as Sheamus cashed in his Money in the Bank contract later that night, ending Roman Reigns first time as WWE Champion at a mere five minutes.
Just weeks later, Roman Reigns contended again for the WWE Championship on an episode of RAW. Reigns took on Sheamus in a title versus career match, which Reigns managed to win, despite interferences from Vince McMahon, Rusev, and Del Rio.
Reign's second time as WWE Champion lasted longer at 41 days. It ended when his title was put on the line in the 2016 Royal Rumble match. Triple H eliminated Roman Reigns before winning the entire match to become the new champion.
Roman Reigns third win of the WWE Championship came at WrestleMania 32. This was the longest reign that Reigns had with the title, which lasted 77 until the belt was dropped to Seth Rollins at Money in the Bank - quickly followed by Dean Ambrose winning the title from Rollins after cashing in his contract.
#1 Becky Lynch is a three-time WWE SmackDown Women's Champion
Becky Lynch has been a true trailblazer in WWE. She was a huge part of the Women's Revolution from her RAW debut as part of Team PCB in 2015. In 2016, Becky Lynch became the inaugural SmackDown Women's Champion at Backlash after winning a six-pack challenge at that year's PPV.
Lynch fended off the likes of Alexa Bliss, Natalya, and Nikki Bella to win the championship being the first woman in WWE to ever do so. Lynch forced Carmella to tap out to the Dis-Arm-Her to win the title. Her first reign as SmackDown Women's Champion ended after 84 days, when she lost to Alexa Bliss at TLC that December.
At Hell in a Cell two years later, Becky Lynch became the SmackDown Women's Champion for the second time. Lynch was able to counter a spear from Charlotte Flair to win the title and refused to shake hands with her former friend after the match. Around this time was when Becky Lynch became infamously known as "The Man", after her turn against Flair at SummerSlam earlier that year propelled her to become the face of WWE. After a 91-day reign, Lynch dropped the title to Asuka (who was helped somewhat by Ronda Rousey) at TLC.
Shortly after dropping the championship, Becky Lynch won the 2019 Royal Rumble, winning a coveted title match at WrestleMania 35. She chose to challenge Ronda Rousey for the RAW Women's Championship, but the match was later changed to a triple threat, winner-takes-all match after SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair became involved.
Lynch won both the SmackDown and RAW Women's Championships at WrestleMania 35, becoming the first and only woman in WWE to hold both titles at the same time.
