WWE Shotgun Championship

The WWE Shotgun Championship is a professional wrestling championship created and promoted by the professional wrestling promotion KJWWE. It is one of KJWWE's three specialty titles, alongside the King of the Mountain Championship and the 24/7 Championship. The championship is mainly defended on Shotgun Saturday Night, and wrestlers from all four KJWWE brands can challenge for the championship. The current champion is Ric Flair, who is in his first reign.

History
The championship was established in July 2019, when KJWWE announced the creation of their new late-night program, Shotgun Saturday Night. The show would air on select Saturday nights at 11pm EST live from the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut. Wrestlers from both Raw and Smackdown - and later NXT and 205 Live - could compete on the show and challenge for the Shotgun Championship. On the inaugural episode on August 31, 2019, Rusev defeated Bobby Roode, Dolph Ziggler, and Kane in a Fatal 4-Way match to become the inaugural champion.

Originally, the championship was defended under hardcore rules - no disqualifications, no countouts, falls count anywhere - as was standard for matches on Shotgun Saturday Night. Additionally, the championship was often defended in multi-man matches. However, when Xavier Woods won the championship on the March 13, 2021 episode of Shotgun Saturday Night, he cut a promo saying he was tired of the championship being about no rules - instead, the championship would be about his rules. The rules for the championship were updated, and now the champion may choose the stipulation under which the championship is defended; Woods would go on to choose an Arcade Anarchy match.

While the championship is mainly defended on Shotgun Saturday Night, it has also been defended on KJWWE's weekly programming, and on the card of KJWWE pay-per-views. Most notably, MVP defeated Shinsuke Nakamura at Wrestlemania 3 to win the championship.
