The WWE PG Era has remained one of the most divisive eras in history. The eras that came before it were subject to less rigid content restrictions. In a bow to advertisers’ demands, WWE moved towards a PG rating. That limited what they could do with violence, forcing them to get more creative in how they presented their product to the wrestling world.
Some things worked very well, while others didn’t exactly light the world on fire. It was an era of big stars and missed opportunities, but as with every other era, there were iconic talents who made their names winning WWE gold.
The champions of the PG Era spanned the spectrum from long-time greats to young, hungry talent ready to take their place at the top of the company. The PG Era saw wrestlers cement their legacy by capturing World Championships and becoming a part of WWE history. They are the cornerstones of the PG Era, and they are listed below.
Top WWE PG Era Champions
Triple H
Triple H has been an overwhelming success in any era that he has been a part of. The Game dominated the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression Eras, but by the start of the PG Era, his career was in decline. That didn’t stop him from amassing 5 WWE Championship victories in the span of two years. It was a great testament to how valued he was by both the audience and the office.
His World Title programs against John Cena, Randy Orton, Edge, and Jeff Hardy were the highlights. Triple H’s babyface persona connected with the fans, and he had great matches with all of the men mentioned above. The PG Era was the last era in which Triple H acted as a full-time talent, and he went out on the highest of notes.
