==History==
The WWE Championship is a world heavyweight championship created and promoted by the American professional wrestling promotion WWE. The championship was established by the then-World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF) on April 29, 1963 as the WWWF World Heavyweight Championship, following the promotion seceding from the National Wrestling Alliance.
It is the oldest championship currently recognized by the promotion, 
and is presented as being the most prestigious title in WWE, with many 
matches for the title having headlined pay per view (PPV) events - including WWE's signature PPV event WrestleMania. 
The title was one of several world titles in WWE, along with the World Heavyweight Championship and ECW Championship (2006−2010). The ECW Championship was deactivated in 2010, and the World Heavyweight Championship was unified with the WWE Championship in 2017. The championship was again the sole world title of WWE until the introduction of the WWE Universal Championship .
Special custom belts have been created to match the characters of certain WWF/WWE champions:
* The Ultimate Warrior – white, blue and purple leather straps
* "Stone Cold" Steve Austin – Smoking Skull belt
* Edge – "Rated-R Superstar" spinner belt
