In July 2003, the title was reactivated as the WWE United States Championship by SmackDown General Manager Stephanie McMahon, and was commissioned to be a secondary championship to the SmackDown! brand. This was done shortly after the WWE Intercontinental Championship was recommissioned by the Raw brand, making the title its equal counterpart.[3] The title remained SmackDown property until June 23, 2008, when then champion, Matt Hardy, was drafted to the ECW brand as a part of the 2008 WWE Draft, in the process making the title ECW property.[4] At The Great American Bash, Shelton Benjamin, who was drafted to SmackDown from ECW, defeated Hardy for the title, making it SmackDown property once again.[5] On April 13, 2009, when reigning champion Montel Vontavious Porter was drafted from SmackDown to Raw during the 2009 WWE Draft, the title became property of the Raw brand.[6]
