The [[WWE Championship]] is a [[professional wrestling]] [[Professional wrestling championship#World championships|world heavyweight championship]] in [[WWE]], currently defended on the [[SmackDown (WWE brand)|SmackDown]] [[WWE brand extension|brand]]. It was the first world title established in WWE, at the time known as the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF), having been introduced in 1963 as the WWWF World Heavyweight Championship. The WWWF, a [[National Wrestling Alliance]] (NWA) territory, did not recognize [[Lou Thesz]]'s victory over reigning NWA champion [[Buddy Rogers (wrestler)|Buddy Rogers]] and sought to create its own world title upon exiting the body.{{efn|By convention, the title would only change hands after a two-out-of-three pinfall victory. However, Thesz defeated Rogers after only one fall, prompting some dissent from a few associated territories of the NWA, who chose not to recognize the title change.}} The WWWF rejoined the NWA in 1971; however, one of the caveats of rejoining is that the championship would no longer be recognised as a "world championship", and only as a regional heavyweight championship.<ref name="Hornbaker">{{cite book |last1=Hornbaker |first1=Tim |title=National Wrestling Alliance: The Untold Story of the Monopoly that Strangled Pro Wrestling |date=2007 |publisher=ECW Press |isbn=978-1-4596-5345-0 |pages=192 |quote=Mindful of the pros and cons of being a member, McMahon rejoined the NWA at the 1971 convention in Mexico City.

The [[WWE Championship]] is a [[professional wrestling]] [[Professional wrestling championship#World championships|world heavyweight championship]] in [[WWE]], currently defended on the [[SmackDown (WWE brand)|SmackDown]] [[WWE brand extension|brand]]. It was the first world title established in WWE, at the time known as the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF), having been introduced in 1963 as the WWWF World Heavyweight Championship. The WWWF, a [[National Wrestling Alliance]] (NWA) territory, did not recognize [[Lou Thesz]]'s victory over reigning NWA champion [[Buddy Rogers (wrestler)|Buddy Rogers]] and sought to create its own world title upon exiting the body.{{efn|By convention, the title would only change hands after a two-out-of-three pinfall victory. However, Thesz defeated Rogers after only one fall, prompting some dissent from a few associated territories of the NWA, who chose not to recognize the title change.}} The WWWF rejoined the NWA in 1971; however, one of the caveats of rejoining is that the championship would no longer be recognised as a "world championship", and only as a regional heavyweight championship.<ref name="Hornbaker">{{cite book |last1=Hornbaker |first1=Tim |title=National Wrestling Alliance: The Untold Story of the Monopoly that Strangled Pro Wrestling |date=2007 |publisher=ECW Press |isbn=978-1-4596-5345-0 |pages=192 |quote=Mindful of the pros and cons of being a member, McMahon rejoined the NWA at the 1971 convention in Mexico City. One requirement by the Alliance was that Morales' WWWF championship be recognized as a regional heavyweight title, and not a "world" title.}}</ref> The promotion was renamed World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in 1979 and ended its affiliation with the (NWA) in 1983, with the title also renamed to reflect the changes; it regained its world championship status upon leaving the NWA.

The championship is generally contested in [[Professional wrestling match types|professional wrestling matches]], in which participants execute [[Screenplay|scripted]] finishes rather than contend in [[Competition#Sports|direct competition]]. Some reigns were held by champions using a [[ring name]] while others use their [[Personal name|real name]]. [[Cody Rhodes]] is the current champion in his first reign.

It was the first world title established in WWE, at the time known as the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF), having been introduced in 1963 as the WWWF World Heavyweight Championship. The WWWF, a <a href="/wiki/National_Wrestling_Alliance" title="National Wrestling Alliance">National Wrestling Alliance</a> (NWA) territory, did not recognize <a href="/wiki/Lou_Thesz" title="Lou Thesz">Lou Thesz</a>'s victory over reigning NWA champion <a href="/wiki/Buddy_Rogers_(wrestler)" title="Buddy Rogers (wrestler)">Buddy Rogers</a> and sought to create its own world title upon exiting the body.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1">[a]</a></sup> The WWWF rejoined the NWA in 1971; however, one of the caveats of rejoining is that the championship would no longer be recognised as a "world championship", and only as a regional heavyweight championship.<sup id="cite_ref-Hornbaker_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Hornbaker-2">[1]</a></sup> The promotion was renamed World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in 1979 and ended its affiliation with the (NWA) in 1983, with the title also renamed to reflect the changes; it regained its world championship status upon leaving the NWA.
