Created in 1963 when the NWA Northeast withdrew from the NWA and became the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF). Was considered a world title until the WWWF rejoined the NWA in 1971, when it was "demoted" to being a regional
title. When the WWF left the NWA for good in 1983, it went back to being a world championship and the prestige of the title has only increased since. |

Created in 2002 to be the world title for the RAW brand when the WWE Championship went to SmackDown. While the belt has been used to represent various other championships throughout its history (NWA, WCW, etc.), this is
considered to be a new championship. The belt has had a WWE logo added to it, but otherwise it is the same as earlier versions. Has switched brands multiple times since.
