Triple Crown (professional wrestling)
The Triple Crown Championship is an accomplishment in professional wrestling. It is a distinction made to a professional wrestler who has won three of a single promotion's championships; specifically, two levels of singles championships (a world and secondary singles title) and a tag team championship.
National promotions that officially recognize Triple Crown winners include WWE, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), and Ring of Honor (ROH) as well as the defunct World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW). Notable independent promotions such as Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) also have established a version of the Triple Crown.
National promotions
WWE
In WWE (formerly known as the World Wide Wrestling Federation WWWF and World Wrestling Federation WWF)[1][2] the term Triple Crown Champion has traditionally been used to describe a wrestler who has won the WWE World Championship, the Intercontinental Championship, and the (now defunct) World Tag Team Championship.[3] For a span of nearly eighteen years, from 1979 up through 1997, these were the only three championships of the company, and a wrestler who won all three championships (not necessarily concurrently) was considered a "Triple Crown Champion."[3][4] Until the 1990s, the accomplishment was extremely rare, with Pedro Morales remaining the sole Triple Crown Champion for more than a decade.
Following the first brand extension between 2002 and 2011, the (now defunct) World Heavyweight Championship and the WWE Tag Team Championship became alternate titles that can compose part of the Triple Crown.[5][6] During the unification of those two world championships and two tag team championships, the only three Triple Crown championships of WWE were the WWE World, Intercontinental, and WWE Tag Team Championships (the United States Championship is not considered part of the Triple Crown, though it is considered part of WWE's Grand Slam). In 2016 a second brand extension period began and two new titles were introduced: the WWE Universal Championship and the SmackDown Tag Team Championship. No holders of these two titles has held the other required titles to become a Triple Crown or Grand Slam champion.
CM Punk holds the record for completing the Triple Crown Championship in the shortest amount of time between the first and third title. It took him 203 days between June 2008 and January 2009. This broke Diesel's previous record of 227 days set in 1994.[7][8]

World Championship Wrestling
The World Championship Wrestling (WCW) Triple Crown consisted of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship (now WWE United States Championship) and the WCW World Tag Team Championship.[12][13] When Bret Hart and Goldberg won the WCW World Tag Team Championship, they both became Triple Crown Champions at the same time. WWE has yet to determine whether or not The Big Show is a WCW Triple Crown Champion due to him winning the United States Championship while in the WWE.

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling
In Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), the TNA Triple Crown was an accolade bestowed upon those who won (not necessarily concurrently) all three championships regularly contested in TNA between 2002 and 2007 - the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, the TNA X Division Championship and (one-half of) the NWA World Tag Team Championship. It was unknown whether or not those who won the NWA World Heavyweight and NWA World Tag Team Championships before or after TNA's acquisition and usage of the belts would qualify for the Triple Crown.[17]
In May 2007, TNA lost the rights to the NWA World Heavyweight Championship and the NWA World Tag Team Championship and introduced the TNA World Heavyweight Championship and the TNA World Tag Team Championship. On July 8, 2007, TNA stated that, should the then-TNA X Division Champion Samoa Joe win the TNA World Tag Team Championship, this would leave him "just one step shy of becoming only the second Triple Crown Champion". This indicates that the TNA World Heavyweight Championship and the TNA World Tag Team Championship are part of the existing Triple Crown accolade.[18]
List of TNA Triple Crown Champions
The following is a list of TNA Triple Crown Champions with dates indicating the wrestler's first reign with the respective championship.
