WWE North American Championship

The WWE North American Championship or formerly WWE Extreme Championship is a professional wrestling championship contested in and owned by the American promotion WWE. The title was introduced into WWE in 2006. This title was created with the intention of reactivating the Hardcore division and paying homage to ECW. The title does not have rule 24/7, but should always be defended in matches with stipulation. From March 3, 2008 the title was considered a continuation of the WWF North American Heavyweight Championship, a title retired 27 years ago.
