The first man to hold the WWE Championship was Buddy Rogers, who won the title on April 29, 1963.
This belt is not to be confused with the World Heavyweight Championship, which has a few claimants. The first champion in WWE was Triple H, who was awarded the title on the September 2, 2002 edition of Monday Night Raw. However, this belt traces its lineage back through WCW and NWA, all the way back to the earliest recognized world champion, Georg Hackenschmidt, who captured the title on May 4, 1905, after winning a tournament for the belt.
