WWE RARE UNDISPUTED TITLE VERSION 1. Condition is New. Shipped with USPS Ground Advantage. By unifying the WWF and WCW World Heavyweight Championships, the WWE Undisputed Championship was born. Take an up close and personal look at this version 1 replica of the Undisputed Championship manufactured by the WWE Shop. The convoluted story behind the belt: In December of 2001, Chris Jericho became the first WWF Undisputed Champion by defeating both Stone Cold and The Rock in the same night — with some help. He carried around both the WWF Championship (Big Eagle) and the WCW Championship (Big Gold) for 98 days until defeated by Triple H at WrestleMania X8 in March of 2002. The following night on Monday Night Raw, Triple H was given a newly designed belt, this WWF Undisputed Championship. The same month, with an overflow of talent given the fact that Vince McMahon purchased ECW and WCW the previous two years, the WWE introduced the brand split by placing superstars on Raw or Smackdown only, though some champions were able to travel between shows. Months later in May of 2002, the WWF would transition to the WWE after a lawsuit with the World Wildlife Fund for Nature, and this title was renamed the WWE Undisputed Championship. Brock Lesnar would eventually became the youngest WWE Champion in history by beating The Rock at SummerSlam in August of 2002. The next night, Lesnar signed a contract to appear exclusively on SmackDown. The World Heavyweight Championship was then re-introduced in September of 2002 for Raw, and this particular title became the WWE Championship once again.
