WWE Championship

The WWE Championship is a professional wrestling championship created and promoted by the professional wrestling promotion KJWWE, currently defended on the Smackdown brand division. It is one of KJWWE's three world titles, alongside the Universal Championship on Raw and the NXT Championship on NXT. The current champion is Evan Bourne, who is in his first reign. The championship is presented as the most prestigious championship in KJWWE, with matches for the title often headlining pay-per-view events, including KJWWE's flagship event Wrestlemania.

History
The championship was established on January 1, 2018, at the establishment of KJWWE. The inaugural champion would be determined in the main event of KJWWE's inaugural event, Wrestlemania. At the event, John Cena defeated AJ Styles, Austin Aries, CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, Seth Rollins, and Shawn Michaels in a seven-man elimination match to become the inaugural WWE Champion.

At the WWE Draft in August 2018, the championship became exclusive to Smackdown, as Cena was drafted to Smackdown.

At Wrestlemania 4 on April 3, 2021, Finn Balor became the first man to hold the WWE Championship for 365 days, successfully defending the championship against AJ Styles.
