It can sometimes be hard to keep up with who has title gold in WWE nowadays, due to a combination of champions either not being used regularly, titles changing hands all the time, and the product just being hard to follow at times.
Here, we’re going to keep track of every WWE title change of 2020. The 24/7 Championship will not be included here, but NXT and NXT UK titles will be.
We also have the same tracker for AEW, which you can check out here.
