==History==
The WWE Intercontinental Championship is a professional wrestling championship in WWE. Along with the WWE United States Championship, it is one of WWE's secondary titles. Although generally contested in the midcard at WWE shows, matches for the title occasionally headlined pay-per-view events in the 1990s.
The term "intercontinental" refers to spanning multiple continents, in this case originally two, North and South America.
In 1985, the belt design changed, the centerplate now centered on the Atlantic Ocean, in a map including western Africa and Europe.
On April 10, 1989, the championship was first defended outside of North America, by Rick Rude against The Ultimate Warrior in Milan, Italy.
