Unlike most other championships currently defended on Raw and SmackDown,
the United States Championship did not start out as a recognized WWE
Championship. Rather, the U.S. Championship got its roots in WCW. Many
of the ring's greatest names have staked claim to the U.S. Title during
the title's early years, including WWE Hall of Famers Sgt. Slaughter and
Greg Valentine. With each great name that captured the championship
came more prestige. In the late 1990s, however, the U.S. Championship
was vacated more times than WWE fans could keep up with. As a result,
the championship lost a bit of its luster. Years later, the U.S.
Championship finally regained the glory it held in years past when
competitors like Eddie Guerrero, Booker T and John Cena fought over it
in many memorable battles.
