  WWE Championship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After the WWF left the NWA in 1983, the title was referred to as the WWF World Heavyweight Championship.
Whilst unified, both championship belts were used and they were collectively defended as the WWE Undisputed Championship until April 1, 2002 when Ric Flair presented then-champion Triple H with a single belt representing both titles.
During the title reign of Hollywood Hulk Hogan, legal matters forced the company to change its name to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and the championship was likewise renamed, with the WWF logo on the belt shortly afterwards being replaced with a new WWE logo during The Undertaker's 2002 title reign.

He was in a similar situation to that of the WWF in the early 1980s: a large debt load, and the success or failure of a federation hinging on the success or failure of a series of PPVs.
The WWF on the other hand was constrained by having to deal with the USA Network, whose executives were pleased about the viewers RAW brought to their network, but were also weary of the stigma associated with being the wrestling channel.
The WCW World Heavyweight Championship (which was renamed the World Championship) would continue to be used in WWF until it was merged with the WWF Championship into the WWF Undisputed Championship when Chris Jericho defeated The Rock and Steve Austin for the respective titles on December 9, 2001 on the PPV, Vengeance.

 WWE Undisputed Championship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The WWE Undisputed Championship (referred to previously as the WWF Undisputed Championship) was briefly the top championship in World Wrestling Entertainment.
The title was "officially" created by the unification of the WWF Championship and the World Championship.
This led to RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff presenting a new World Heavyweight Championship to Triple H, simply awarding him the championship, citing the fact that Triple H was the last person to hold that championship belt, referencing the time before Ric Flair presented Triple H with a singular belt which represented the Undisputed Championship.

It should be noted that WWF had started the war by presenting the first Survivor Series on Thanksgiving Night 1987, opposite the traditional NWA Starrcade event (which was being offered on PPV for the first time).
WWF then put the first Royal Rumble on the USA Network opposite the NWA's second Pay-per-view attempt, the Bunkhouse Stampede, in January of 1988.
Notes: With the WWF championship vacant for the first time in the promotion's history, the show was built around the tournament to crown the new champion.

The WWF always provides us with a mixture of great wrestling and absolutely terrible wrestling, Unforgiven 2001 was no exception, some of the matches were great, but some were bad, some were really bad.
The former WWF Champions Matt and Jeff Hardy were up to their usual high-flying antics, they were facing there long-term nemesis’ The Dudley Boyz, who battled heavily with Matt and Jeff, performed with a top quality edge.
Now the WCW Championship Handicap match, The Rock would do battle against Shane McMahon and former WCW World Champion Booker T. We all knew this would not be a classic WCW World title bout, not a Flair VS Steamboat or Flair VS Sting, but this match still had the magnitude to entertain the fans.

WWF Armageddon, the last WWF PPV of the 20th Century (for those who believe the new millenium starts at the year 2000), ranks up there as one of 1999's best.
The WWF title match is next, between The Big Show and the Big Boss Man. Finally, the best match on the PPV: the main event between Vince McMahon and Triple H in a No Holds Barred Match, where if Vince wins, Triple H must divorce Stephanie McMahon.
The first WWF pay-per-view in many a moon NOT to feature Steve Austin, Armageddon '99 was a far from flawless event, but an entertaining one nonetheless.
