The NWA United States Television Championship was a professional wrestling television championship owned and promoted by the Capitol Wrestling Corporation (CWC), the predecessor of WWE. The championship was either introduced in 1957 or 1958,[1] [2] making it the first singles championship introduced overall by the CWC and WWE.
Over the championship's five-year history, there have been nine reigns between five champions. Johnny Valentine was the inaugural champion, and also held the record for most reigns at five times. Valentine was also the last champion, after CWC abandoned the title.
