Introduction
WWE Heavyweight Champion 2021 is a title held by the professional wrestler who is signed to WWE. The current champion is Drew McIntyre, who is in his second reign. He won the title by defeating Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 36 on April 5, 2020.
The WWE Heavyweight Championship was created in 1963 and was originally known as the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF) World Heavyweight Championship. It has been through many name changes over the years, but has always been one of WWE’s most prestigious titles.
The title was unified with the World Heavyweight Championship in late 2013, when then-champion Randy Orton defeated then-champion John Cena at the Unforgiven pay-per-view. The title was then renamed to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
In mid-2016, the brand split occurred, and the title was split between the Raw and SmackDown brands, with then-champion Triple H being drafted to Raw and then-champion Dean Ambrose being drafted to SmackDown. The title was once again renamed, this time to the WWE Universal Championship for Raw and the WWE World Championship for SmackDown.
At WrestleMania 35 in 2019, Brock Lesnar defeated Kofi Kingston to win the WWE Universal Championship, making him a dual champion as he also held the WWE World Championship at that time. However, he would vacate the world championship shortly thereafter.
The title returned to its original name of WWE Heavyweight Championship in 2020 when Drew McIntyre won it at WrestleMania 36.
