| 1 | 05.01.2018 | Ice | | It's now like every other singles NJPW championship: Prestigeous and always defended in high-level matches and it was booked above the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleKingdom on the first one it was featured at and it was possibly the best match on the show. Case closed, another amazing title picture for New Japan Pro Wrestling. |
| 2 | 31.01.2018 | TheAlmighty | 10.0 | NJPW führte 2017 hier einen Titel ein, um sich in Übersee besser präsentieren zu können. Alleine das Austragungsturnier dafür war richtig stark mit dem perfekten Sieger. Wahrscheinlich wollte man zudem Omega einen Titel verleihen, aber dennoch wurde hier alles sauber aufgebaut und die Protagonisten in tollen Matches stark in Szene gesetzt. Auf Augenhöhe mit dem Intercontinental Championship (dem besten 2. Titel der Welt), stellte dieser Belt vom Namen her zwar nicht die "krassesten" Matches bis WK12, aber alle Matches waren durchgehend ansehnlich und hoben neue Leute ins Scheinwerfer Licht. Wenn man dies vergleicht mit der Einführung und den Regentschaften des Universal Titels (weil auch neu) liegen hier Galaxien zwischen den beiden in punkto Matchqualität, Booking und Repräsentation. Auch durch den Titelwechsel hat sich nichts verändert! Ein toller Titel der sich vor dem IWGP Heavyweight Titel wahrlich nicht verstecken muss. So baut man einen prestigereichen Titel auf! Danke NJPW! |

| 29 | 13.01.2018 | user01001001 | 9.0 | I love this championship and its concept, and NJPW's plan for it is sound, and appears to be working well so far in my opinion. I want to see it defended at the upcoming 'Strong Style Evolved' show. Omega was the perfect choice for an inaugural champion, and the title defenses so far have been incredible (my personal favorite being vs. Juice @ Destruction in Kobe). His match against Y2J @ Wrestle Kingdom has only solidified my positive opinion on this championship and I'm looking forward to seeing more, in Omega's words, "legendary defenses". Funny how a championship that's less than a year old has been legitimized already and is being treated like a top-tier championship (looking at you WWE). The only reason I'm giving it a 9 is because it's still in its infancy, and there's always room for more. [TL;DR] Whoever takes this belt from Omega has a lot to live up to. |
| 30 | 15.05.2022 | Childofthelost | 9.0 | I had this title at a 5 because of the Moxley reign followed the title hotshotting from Lance to Tana to KENTA... but I think the title has really bounced back. Don't get me wrong, it's still hotshotting. But the defenses really mean something again. Tanahashi & KENTA tried to kill each other over this championship, KENTA was hurt and is still out. Tanahashi & SANADA called back to their rivalry and had a fantastic match over this championship. SANADA gets hurt and vacates the title, so Tanahashi & Ishii have probably the best match of the year over this championship. And now Juice wins the title after a Fatal-Four-Way war with four men trying to each other over this championship. I think the IWGP US Heavyweight has been redeemed and the title, despite hotshotting, really feels important again and the prestige is undeniable. |
| 31 | 22.08.2019 | Pm Frank | 9.0 | Kenny Omega made this title awesome. I am going to say that this title is better than IWGP intercontinental championship |
| 32 | 30.01.2018 | shosa94 | 9.0 | Oh maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan. This'll obviously need to be edited in the future, because this has existed for a single day, but a few things: 1. ) Belt looks GREAT. Whoever designed it is damn good at their job. 2. ) Kenny Omega, arguably the best wrestler on the planet right now, is its first and only holder. Not a bad start. 3. ) The final to determine the first champion was a full-blown classic. 4. ) It also serves as the marker for NJPW globalization, which is obviously a huge deal. The future looks really bright for it and in time I see it as being on par with the IWGP IC title, maybe even exceeding it. Update: Great booking for this so far, every defense has been good. Omega-Jericho was massive in making it feel like a big deal. Now that Jay White has it, things could maybe get shaky, but we'll see. |

| 58 | 01.02.2022 | GriffinX | 8.0 | On the one hand the US title hasn't had a champion who is truly bad in the ring. But its not eveyr champ was able to have that great reign for various reasons. Also some what hurt but NJPW doesn't seem to know know what they want the belt to be. When it was introduced you had midcard title. I think the goal was at one was for it to be the top prize of New Japan of America but that wound up being the strong openweight title. |
| 59 | 06.06.2023 | GoldenIcebox | 8.0 | When Omega became the first champion in 2017, it was clear this title was going to mean something. Fast forward 6 years later, and the title is alright. It lost its luster ever since Moxley hoarded the belt for a year and a half, but the lineage really carries the title itself. The 10 best title matches in my opinion are Omega vs. White(1-27-2018), Moxley vs. Robinson(6-5-2019), Moxley vs. Archer(1-4-2020), Moxley vs. Nagata(5-12-2021), Tanahashi vs. Ibushi(9-4-2021), Tanahashi vs. KENTA(1-5-2022), Tanahashi vs. Ishii(5-1-2022), Ospreay vs. SANADA(6-12-2022), Ospreay vs. Naito(11-5-2022) and Omega vs. Ospreay (1-4-2023). |

| 61 | 14.05.2021 | dirtydylane | 8.0 | Fun match and cool to see it being presented as a big deal on American Network TV. Nagata looked great and Mox created an atmosphere with the 'Wild Thang' entrance. Great atmosphere and it didn't overstay it's welcome. Fun watch. |

| 65 | 27.06.2023 | 0zawarudo0 | 8.0 | This was a brutal brawl. Hatred just oozed out of it. Will looking for tables to put Kenny's face through was awesome. The spots with the Canadian flag were awesome. This would have been a 9 if they didn't have Don come back out after being sent off (there's other ways to get to that spot, it was lazy). It almost feels like there won't be a 3rd one, but I hope there is. |

| 93 | 03.07.2023 | coppercowries | 7.0 | The booking of this belt has had some very solid, even exceptional highs, but also lows and tainted reigns. An awesome start with Kenny and White, the belt eventually suffered tremendously due to the pandemic restrictions and then hot potatoed in intense but short reigns. Ospreay built the profile of the belt back up, and his feud between Ospreay and Omega has it back in the global spotlight. |
| 94 | 04.07.2019 | NEVERoverweightChampion | 7.0 | This belt is still very recent so it's hard to judge, obviously they need more time but I think overall they did a good job. Kenny was the obvious choice as first champion and he had a good reign, his match against Jericho added prestige. Jay White did good in his first reign, he did especially great at putting over Juice Robinson and gave him a huge momentum... before Cody won the belt. This is the only thing they did wrong with the US Championship because Cody didn't need it, he was an absolute useless champion and put bad matches wich didn't gave Juice Robinson his momentum back when he regained the title. Juice did his best for his second reign, Chase Owens is a really weak challenger and Fale was okay but he ended up re-elevating the title with his match against Jon Moxley, wich despite the loss gave him some great momentum. I don't think Moxley will hold the title for a long time but he is a good addition to the list of champions and really proved he can help. |

| 97 | 14.06.2022 | tsdenizen | 7.0 | Good looking belt, talented title holders, reigns are too short and/because the belt is fucking cursed. Don't even know why you'd wanna win this thing when it's liable to cause you some illness or injury, but to each their own. They've done the best they can given the circumstances and no crummy wrestlers have held the title. There's something to be said for that. |
| 98 | 17.05.2023 | Coffin99 | 7.0 | I really want to love this championship. Its got an outstanding look, and its had some of the best people in the industry hold it in its short history. However, it hasnt been booked the best. I dont know why New Japan agreed to let 2 AEW wrestlers win this belt just so they can hold the title hostage in America, rarely defend it, and hardly ever show it off. |
