43 Years of the United States Championship
The lineage of the WWE United States Championship began in January 1975, when Harley Race became the inaugural champion as a member of the Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling roster. Since that historic reign, the U.S. Championship has been recognized by the NWA, WCW and eventually WWE. No other active title boasts such a unique and storied history, and WWE Flashback Friday is taking you on a journey through time for some of the championship’s most memorable moments.
