The Grand Slam is an accomplishment recognized by various professional wrestling promotions in the United States and Japan. It is a distinction given to a professional wrestler who has either won four specific championships within a promotion throughout their career, or all available championships.{{efn|Oftentimes both, as was the case during WWE's original 1997 introduction of the term, and during its 2015 revision.}} Promotions that recognize this include WWE (since 1997), Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (since 2009), Ring of Honor (since 2018), New Japan Pro-Wrestling (since 2021), and All Elite Wrestling (since 2025). The four titles typically include three singles championships, one of them usually being a world title, plus a tag team championship.

In WWE (formerly WWF), the term "Grand Slam" was originally used by Shawn Michaels to describe himself upon winning the European Championship on September 20, 1997. Michaels previously held the WWF Championship, Intercontinental Championship, and the World Tag Team Championship—the titles that composed the Triple Crown.{{cite web |url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/summerslam/history/2007/exclusives/superstarturningpoints |title=Superstar Turning Points in WWE history |last=Clayton |first=Corey |date=August 24, 2007 |access-date=January 13, 2016 |publisher=World Wrestling Entertainment |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110526143742/http://www.wwe.com/shows/summerslam/history/2007/exclusives/superstarturningpoints |archive-date=May 26, 2011 |quote=He would also become the first-ever WWE "Grand Slam" Champion, winning the WWE, World Heavyweight, European, Intercontinental and World Tag Team Title gold. }}
In May 2001, the promotion's website indicated that the Hardcore Championship was an acceptable substitute for the European Championship in the Grand Slam. Kane, who had defeated Triple H for the Intercontinental Championship at Judgment Day on May 20, 2001,{{cite web |url=http://www.wwe.com/inside/titlehistory/intercontinental/322668 |title=Kane's first reign |access-date=April 16, 2007 |publisher=World Wrestling Entertainment |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070419230223/http://www.wwe.com/inside/titlehistory/intercontinental/322668 |archive-date=April 19, 2007 }} was acknowledged as a Grand Slam winner as he had "become the only superstar in World Wrestling Federation history that has held the Intercontinental title as well as the Hardcore, Tag Team and WWF titles".{{cite web |url=http://www.wwf.com/news/headlines/ |title=WWF.com Headlines |access-date=March 11, 2009 |date=May 26, 2001 |publisher=World Wrestling Entertainment |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010526174428/http://www.wwf.com/news/headlines/ |archive-date=May 26, 2001 |quote=In a rare interview with WWF.com, Kane discussed the chain match Sunday at Judgment Day and his feelings on being the only "Grand Slam Champion" of his variety.}}{{cite web |url=http://www.kanenite-central.com/print/200106bigredgrand.html |title=Big Red Grand Slam |access-date=March 11, 2009 |publisher=World Wrestling Entertainment |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090107121823/http://www.kanenite-central.com/print/200106bigredgrand.html |archive-date=January 7, 2009 }}
In April 2006, Kurt Angle was noted as being a former Grand Slam winner on WWE.com, having won the WWE, WWE Tag Team, Intercontinental, and European Championship, indicating that WWE considered the WWE Tag Team Championship to be an acceptable substitute for the World Tag Team Championship.{{cite web |url=http://auction.wwe.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=64226926&prmenbr=37460399&aunbr=64573636/ |title=Kurt Angle... |publisher=WWE.com |access-date=July 17, 2007 |quote=While most fans of this former Grand Slam Champion... |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071012165604/http://auction.wwe.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=64226926&prmenbr=37460399&aunbr=64573636%2F |archive-date=October 12, 2007 }} In August 2007, WWE.com published an article listing Shawn Michaels' championship reigns that completed the Grand Slam. They included the WWE, World Heavyweight, World Tag Team, Intercontinental, and European Championship. The inclusion of the World Heavyweight Championship indicated that WWE considered the title to be an acceptable substitute for the WWE Championship in completing the Grand Slam.
At ECW One Night Stand in June 2006, Rob Van Dam became the first superstar acquired by WWE after the purchase of World Championship Wrestling and Extreme Championship Wrestling in 2001 to complete the Grand Slam when he defeated John Cena for the WWE Championship. Booker T became the second star acquired by the purchase to complete the Grand Slam when he defeated Rey Mysterio for the World Heavyweight Championship at The Great American Bash in July 2006. Booker has held the World Tag Team, Intercontinental, and Hardcore titles.{{cite web |url=http://www.wwe.com/superstars/rvd/bio |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160110093923/http://www.wwe.com/superstars/rvd/bio |url-status=dead |archive-date=January 10, 2016 |title=Rob Van Dam |publisher=wwe.com |access-date=June 28, 2008 |quote=At ECW One Night Stand 2006, Rob Van Dam became the only person out of ECW, after its 2001 purchase to become a WWE Grand Slam winner. At WWE Great American Bash 2006, Booker T became the second. }} Also in 2006, WWE revived the ECW Championship and established it as a third world championship in its promotion but was never considered as a world title that was part of their Grand Slam eligibility.
Following WrestleMania 31 in 2015, WWE (which four years earlier ended the brand extension and unified several titles before that) established an updated version of the Grand Slam consisting of the four then-active men's titles in WWE: the WWE World, Intercontinental, United States, and WWE Tag Team Championships. Thirteen wrestlers have been recognized as Grand Slam winners under these new parameters (including five who were already recognized as Grand Slam winners under the original guidelines). The brand extension was re-established in 2016 and WWE indicated that two new championships that had been introduced, the Universal Championship (which would be retired in April 2024) and the SmackDown Tag Team Championship, would count as acceptable substitutes for their counterpart titles (WWE Championship and WWE Tag Team, now World Tag Team, respectively) as part of the Grand Slam.{{cite web |title=The new Grand Slam winners |url=https://www.wwe.com/gallery/new-grand-slam-champion-winners-photos#fid-40361277 |publisher=WWE |work=WWE.com |access-date=May 28, 2019 |quote=When a Superstar captures every active title, they become a Grand Slam Champion.

Chris Jericho completed the original format the fastest, completing it in 728 days between December 1999 and December 2001, while Kurt Angle completed the modern format the fastest, completing it in 966 days between February 2000 and October 2002.
On February 21, 2021, WWE acknowledged The Miz as the first wrestler to complete the Grand Slam twice under the revised 2015 format after winning his second WWE Championship.{{Cite web|title=The Miz becomes first two-time Grand Slam Champion in WWE history|url=http://www.wwe.com/article/the-miz-becomes-first-two-time-grand-slam-champion-in-wwe-history|publisher=WWE|last=Garretson|first=Jordan|date=February 22, 2021|access-date=February 22, 2021|language=en|archive-date=December 4, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211204211722/https://www.wwe.com/article/the-miz-becomes-first-two-time-grand-slam-champion-in-wwe-history|url-status=live}} Seth Rollins would become the second two-time Grand Slam Champion by winning the WWE United States Championship a second time in October 2022.
In May 2023, WWE added a third world championship with a new version of the World Heavyweight Championship. It is unclear if this title would be added as an acceptable substitute for the Grand Slam.
== List of WWE Grand Slam winners ==
As of {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}, {{CURRENTYEAR}}, there have been 22 individual Grand Slam Champions. 17 wrestlers have only achieved it once, seven under the original format and 10 under the modern format, while five wrestlers have achieved the Grand Slam under both formats, three of whom automatically became modern Grand Slam champions at the introduction of the modern format (with the same titles they won while becoming original Grand Slam champions), and two who became modern Grand Slam champions after the modern format was introduced (with different titles won to complete both formats).

=== Revised format (established 2015) ===
The modern WWE Grand Slam consists of the WWE, Intercontinental, United States, and World Tag Team (formerly WWE/Raw Tag Team) Championships. Two other championships—the Universal and WWE Tag Team (formerly SmackDown Tag Team) Championships—were added in 2016 as alternative titles to the WWE title and Tag Team Championships respectively following the reintroduction of the brand extension. In regards to the United States Champion, due to its lineage, WWE only counts United States Championship reigns that took place in WWE, whether it bore the WCW or WWE moniker. Edge and Kurt Angle held the title when it was the WCW United States Championship. Eddie Guerrero’s first reign does not count as a result of this rule, since it took place in WCW.

As of {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}, {{CURRENTYEAR}}, there have been seven individual Women's Grand Slam champions.

File:AJ Styles World Champion January 2010.jpg – the first TNA Grand Slam winner and the only man to be a Grand Slam Champion in both TNA and WWE]]
The first Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA - known as Impact Wrestling from 2017–2023) Grand Slam winner was crowned on March 15, 2009, at TNA's Destination X pay-per-view event. At said event, then three-time TNA Triple Crown champion A.J. Styles defeated Booker T for the TNA Legends Championship. On the March 19 episode of TNA's primary television program, TNA Impact!, announcer Mike Tenay stated that Styles had become the first TNA Grand Slam winner by capturing the World Heavyweight (NWA or TNA), World Tag Team (NWA or TNA), X Division, and Legends Championships (The Legends Championship was subsequently renamed the Global, Television, and King of the Mountain Championship, before being fully retired).{{cite episode |title=Total Nonstop Action Wrestling presents: TNA Impact! |series=TNA Impact! |series-link=TNA Impact! |network=Spike TV |airdate=March 19, 2009}}{{cite web |url=http://www.wrestleview.com/news2009/1237528436.php?style=dark |title=Impact results – 3/19/09 |last=Boutwell |first=Josh |date=March 20, 2009 |access-date=March 21, 2009 |publisher=WrestleView.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090629191126/http://www.wrestleview.com/news2009/1237528436.php?style=dark |archive-date=June 29, 2009 |url-status=live }}
Under TNA's definition of the Grand Slam, wrestlers are eligible to be a multiple Grand Slam winner each time they complete a new circuit. Thus far, only A.J. Styles has won the Grand Slam on more than one occasion. On August 15, 2016, the TNA King of the Mountain Championship was once again retired when Lashley unified the title into his TNA World Heavyweight Championship. In a March 26, 2018, article on the Impact Wrestling website, the eligibility of the Impact Grand Championship, which replaced the King of the Mountain Championship, as a Grand Slam title was confirmed.{{cite web |url=http://impactwrestling.com/double-main-event-thursday-night-aries-vs-sydal-lashley-vs-cage/ |title=Double Main Event Thursday Night!
