Here is the full List Of All WWE NXT North American Champions!

At the time of writing, there were 16 reigns between 13 champions and two vacancies. The inaugural champion was Adam Cole. Velveteen Dream has the longest reign at 231 days (209 days, but still the longest recognized by WWE due to tape delays), Carmelo Hayes has the longest combined reign at 274 days.

Johnny Gargano has the most reigns at three, with his first reign being the shortest at 4 days (due to tape delay, however, WWE recognizes that Gargano's first reign lasted 25 days, thus recognizing Solo Sikoa's reign as the shortest at 7 days). Dream is the youngest champion at 23 years old while Damian Priest is the oldest at 37.
