The United States Championship is also one of the oldest titles in WWE history, along with the Intercontinental Championship. However, the history of this championship at WrestleMania is not as glorious as the Intercontinental Championship. There have been many good matches, but there has rarely been one that can be termed an all-time classic. At WrestleMania 40, it will be a Triple Threat match for the United States Championship between Logan Paul vs Kevin Owens vs Randy Orton, and this could be the best.
Let’s look at the top 5 United States Championship matches in WrestleMania history.

Randy Orton vs Jinder Mahal vs Bobby Roode vs Rusev at WrestleMania 34
