I was going to include inaugural Rumble, MITB, ARMBAR, Women's Battle Royal and King of the Ring too but let's just stick with title belts for now.

For the United States title, WWE does recognize the NWA/WCW lineage of the title, so the inaugural champion is Harley Race, not Eddie Guerrero.
On that note, I will never understand why WWE killed the lineage of the classic Tag Team championship so they can have a tag title that goes back to 2002 with f***ing Chris Benoit as an inaugural champion.

Tyler Bate beating Pete Dunne to win the UK title in the UK Championship Tournament final in January 2017 is one of my favourite matches of the last 10 years (I liked it even more than their Takeover match a few months later) so I'll go with Bate.
Close second would be Adam Cole because of how great that North American Title ladder match was.

I don't see Chris Jericho as the first Undisputed WWF Champion on the list.

I wondered that too. You think maybe somebody selected the wrong option and deleted the title they wanted to keep? Perhaps it was the work experience boy's fault? |

I voted for Titus because that’s the mood I’m in today.

I wondered that too. You think maybe somebody selected the wrong option and deleted the title they wanted to keep? Perhaps it was the work experience boy's fault? I believe that it was because the classic Tag Team Titles were renamed the World Tag Team Titles at that point and when it came time to drop one dropping the WWE Tag Team Titles and renaming the World Tag Team Titles the WWE Tag Team Titles again would be a bit convoluted and just keeping the WWE Tag Team Titles were simpler. Personally I consider the two titles to be unified and the current WWE (now the Raw Tag Team Titles) has both lineages. |

I'll be honest, I was such a huge Eddie Guerrero fan growing up, I though he literally won a new title since I only had Smackdown as a kid. Also apparently, WWE has retconned this and has made New Day the official inaugural champions with this video they conveniently posted today: |
