In July 2003, the title was reactivated as the WWE United States Championship. At Survivor Series in November 2001, the WCW United States and WWF Intercontinental Championships were unified, resulting in the United States Championship being deactivated. This resulted in the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship becoming a championship for the WWF, which referred to it as the WCW United States Championship. In March 2001, the then-WWF bought selected assets of WCW. Turner Broadcasting bought Mid-Atlantic in November 1988 and renamed it World Championship Wrestling (WCW) after its primary television program. Harley Race became the inaugural champion on the title's introduction on January 1, 1975. It was originally known as the NWA United States Heavyweight Championship and began as a regional championship created by and defended in Jim Crockett Jr.'s Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling, a territory of the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA). The WWE United States Championship is a professional wrestling championship contested in the American promotion WWE on the SmackDown brand.
