Throughout history there have been several versions of the United States Titles dating back to the creation of the National Wrestling Alliance in 1948. The first titles under the United States banner were created in 1950. As part of the organisation’s rules each territory was allowed to create their own versions of the title.

The most famous version of the title would eventually become tied to Jim Crockett Promotions and as a result, WCW. During this period, the Midnight Express guided by Jim Cornette held the titles for more than 500 days across three reigns.

Interestingly a version of the title was also created in New York’s Capitol Wrestling Corporation. The promotion that would eventually grow to become WWE.
