5 Best WWE United States Champions Of All Time
By Dorathy Gass
Kofi Kingston
A man who has literally done it all, and seen it all in the WWE, as a Grand Slam and Triple Crown Champion, is Kofi Kingston. While he experienced a stellar reign as WWE Champion in 2019, he also had quite the run with the United States title, not one, but three times. Kofi Kingston held the championship in 2009, 2011, and 2013, racking up a total of 209 combined days with the U.S. title.

Wrestling under the name of “Dean Ambrose” at the time, the “Lunatic Fringe” had an explosive debut in November 2012 when The Shield entered the land of the WWE. Things would never be the same for fans, stables, and the company, alike.
Everyone knows that the best way to make a stable look strong is to splash some gold on them, and in May 2013 at that year’s Extreme Rules pay-per-view (PPV), Ambrose got a taste of his first WWE title in the form of the United States Championship … and what a title run it was!
Dean reigned supreme as the U.S. Champ for an incredible 351 days before dropping it to Sheamus on the May 5 edition of RAW in 2014. Not only did Ambrose have a solid U.S. title run, he, along with fellow Shield brothers Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins, enjoyed a nice reign as WWE’s most dominant stables in recent history.
