The biggest WrestleMania in history brought major change to the WWE championship picture.
In WWE, champions reign supreme, and at WrestleMania 40, six of the main roster's nine titles switched hands at the two-day event in Philadelphia.
There are stars all over the WWE roster, but the ones that are held in the highest regard are the ones that secure titles. Legends like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Stone Cold Steve Austin and John Cena made names for themselves by capturing championship belts. And while titles have changed design − or even name − in recent years, they still hold high prestige in the wrestling world.
There are nine championships on the main roster and there are five more in NXT. Here are all the championship holders in WWE, as well as how long they've held their title:
Undisputed WWE Universal Championship: Cody Rhodes
Cody Rhodes finished the story when he defeated Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40 on April 7 to captured the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship and end Reigns' time as champion at 1,316 days.
