Triple Crown (professional wrestling)

The Triple Crown is an accomplishment recognized by various professional wrestling promotions. It is a distinction made to a professional wrestler who has won three of a single promotion's championships; specifically, a world championship, another singles championship, and a tag team championship. Promotions to officially recognize Triple Crown winners include WWE, All Elite Wrestling (AEW), Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), Ring of Honor (ROH), Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA), and National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) as well as the defunct promotions World Championship Wrestling (WCW), Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), and Lucha Underground.

The All Elite Wrestling (AEW) Triple Crown was established on September 4, 2022, defined by company CEO Tony Khan as consisting of the AEW World Championship, the AEW World Tag Team Championship, and the AEW World Trios Championship. Kenny Omega became the first Triple Crown winner after becoming part of inaugural Trios Championship team at All Out.

The Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) Triple Crown consisted of the ECW World Heavyweight Championship, the ECW World Television Championship and the ECW World Tag Team Championship. ECW was founded in 1992 as Eastern Championship Wrestling until the name was changed to Extreme Championship Wrestling in 1994. While Johnny Hotbody won all three titles before 1994, sources consider Mikey Whipwreck the first Triple Crown Champion.

In Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA – known as Impact Wrestling from 2017 to 2023), the 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 title belts would qualify for the Triple Crown.

In May 2007, TNA lost the rights to the NWA Worlds 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, Impact Wrestling (then known as TNA) stated that, should the then- 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.

The following is a list of TNA Triple Crown winners with dates indicating the wrestler's first reign with the respective championship. Under TNA's definition of the Triple Crown, wrestlers are eligible to win the Triple Crown each time they complete a new circuit.

To date, A.J. Styles and Eddie Edwards have won the Impact Triple Crown on more than one occasion, and Styles is the only wrestler to hold all of the eligible championships. Kurt Angle completed the Triple Crown the fastest, achieving it in a mere 92 days, between May and August 2007, and is the only wrestler to hold all the required championships at once.

Jordynne Grace became the first Knockouts Triple Crown winner after winning the TNA Knockouts World Championship, the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship and the TNA Digital Media Championship - which is an open title for both male and female wrestlers. On March 29, 2025, authority figure Santino Marella retired the Digital Media Championship to replace it with a new title. As a result of this, the number of future knockouts Triple Crown winner is limited to those that have held the Digital Media Title.
