Blue Belt Championship (USW)

The Blue Belt Championship is a professional wrestling championship competed for in the American professional wrestling promotion Ultimate Showcase Wrestling, on the Wednesday Night Intensity brand, along with the International Championship on the Friday Night Severity brand. It is one of two secondary championships in Ultimate Showcase Wrestling. The current champion is Eli Kaynor, who is in his first reign as champion.
The championship was one of five championships announced when Ultimate Showcase Wrestling started up, and it was to serve as the highest-level secondary championship in the promotion, but after the inaugural Ultimate Showcase Wrestling brand extension, and the rising popularity of the International Championship, the Blue Belt Championship became exclusive property of the Wednesday Night Intensity brand, serving as it's one and only secondary championship available on the roster.
== History ==
When Ultimate Showcase Wrestling officially launched on January 12, 2013; the Blue Belt Championship was one of the five championships announced for the promotion, with the purpose of serving as the highest level secondary championship in the promotion. From the inception of Ultimate Showcase Wrestling until the start of the inaugural brand extension, it served as the sole, highest-level secondary championship. 
After the inaugural brand extension, the Intensity and Severity brands needed a secondary championship available for their rosters, which ultimately led to the Blue Belt Championship becoming sole property of the Intensity brand, while the International Championship was promoted to the secondary level of the Severity brand, which it was now exclusive property of.
The championship has seen 42 championship reigns shared amongst 23 different performers. The first champion was Dwayne Porter, whose first reign lasted from January 16, 2013 until January 27, 2013. Dwayne Porter also holds the most championship reigns, having won the title nine times, his most recent reign lasting from March 11, 2018 until February 17, 2019. Dwayne Porter also holds the longest reign with the title, the aforementioned reign lasting 343 days. The shortest reign belongs to James, whose reign lasted less than a day, starting and ending on April 27, 2014.

== Championship Belt Design ==
=== Current Design ===
The current version of the belt is very similar to the Blue Belt Championship design prior, however the sideplates are similarly ovular reading lettering of Blue Belt Championship glory.
=== Past Design ===
The previous design of the Blue Belt Championship was the primary design since it's inception, with a pure black strap, and a ovular center plate with two "B's" mirrored on the ends of the center plate. The word "Champion" resides in the middle, and a nameplate lies under the word "champion." There are four side plates, all of which are in a custom shape, and have some sort of reading to the Intensity brand on it, as well as markings of the promotion itself.
