WWE United States Championship - Dustin Rhodes
August 30, 1993 - December 27, 1993
Rick Rude and Dustin Rhodes competed in an amazing United States Championship match in May 1993 that was marred by controversy. When both competitors' shoulders were down to the mat for the three count, WCW decided that the championship would become vacant. On Aug. 30, 1993, Rhodes and Rude went at it again to fill the vacancy. Rhodes won, and went on to hold the U.S. Championship for four months.
