Are there currently any Grand Slam Champs in the WWE since the brand split?

There are no more "grand slam" champions because of the lack of the European championship.

Shawn Michaels, HHH, and Jericho are grand slam champions, but they accomplished that before the brand split.

Those who accomplished it afterwards are Kurt Angle, Eddie Guerrero, RVD, and Jeff Hardy. None of them are around anymore for a variety of reasons you're probably familiar with.

I fucking hate the whole concept of "Grand Slam" champion. Does anybody actually realise it was a way of WWE trying to put over and market Shawn Michaels over guys like Bret, Hogan, Savage etc?? NOBODY can be considered a grand slam champion anymore because NOBODY has won every fucking belt in the company's history.

BEING A GRAND SLAM CHAMPION DOES NOT MEAN SHIT.

Not that easy. You're leaving out that his name is Kane.

Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Kane, Chris Jericho and Jeff Hardy are the only Grand Slam Champions that are still active in the WWE.

Kurt Angle, Rob Van Dam, Booker T and JBL are all Grand Slam Champions who aren't with the company anymore.

Eddie Guerrero is the only deceased Grand Slam Champion.

There are five wrestlers who are still with the company who just need one more title to become Grand Slam Champion.

The Undertaker and The Big Show just need an Intercontinental Title reign to become Grand Slam Champion.

William Regal, Christian and Goldust just need either a WWE Title reign or a World Heavyweight Title reign to become Grand Slam Champion.

When I say grand slam I am talking about all three brands which means all three world titles, IC, US, and the tag titles I think that would be a hell of a feat for any guy

In terms of the feat you're talking about, the closest is probably Edge, who only needs the ECW title. Not going to happen anytime soon, though...someone who's already won the ECW title and is on the way up is probably a better bet, like C.M. Punk.

Ummmm, Kane was the third Grand Slam Champion, sillies. WWE counted the Hardcore title in place of the European.

Also, Jericho deserves some special honor.

Doesn't Grand Slam normally refer to someone winning all the major championships in their field of profession? With the European Title not being active anymore, I can't see it counting. There should be a new Grand Slam Championship:

WWE Championship
World Heavyweight Championship
ECW Championship
Intercontinental Championship
United States Championship
Tag Team Championship

Of that, Edge only needs to win the ECW Championship. Matt Hardy has got a pretty realistic shot, as if he wins the IC Title, he only has the World Titles to go. Carlito has gotten everything below the ECW Title checked off.

I believe Punk only needs the WWE and US titles, now that the tag titles are unified and considered one (otherwise he'd need the Smackdown tag titles, as well). To me that seems more realistic than Edge going to ECW or Matt Hardy winning both world titles.

Punk's got a good shot at doing it. Edge going to ECW might be a bit unrealistic, but I think it has about as much chance of happening as Punk winning the US Title. Matt Hardy winning both World Titles may not be as unrealistic as you think.

I don't think WWE would recognize Edge or Punk as Grand Slam Champions, even if they did win the titles they haven't yet held in their careers, especially since WWE has never declared either the US or ECW Championships as acceptable substitutes for other championships in order to complete the Grand Slam Champion definition by their standards.

I haven't heard them mention the grand slam in ages, either, but when Punk won the Intercontinental title in Chicago I do remember them saying something about him being the fastest to the Triple Crown, which they considered a World title, a Tag title, and a Second Tier title.
