The WEDF European Championship was a midcard belt which was exclusive to the Smackdown brand at the time of its retirement. Originally exclusive to ECCW, the European Championship was announced by ECCW General Manager Michael Cole on Episode 181 - ECCW and the first European Champion was decided by an eight-man single elimination tournament which began that episode. Said tournament concluded on Episode 189 - ECCW when Alex Riley defeated Justin Gabriel in the finals to become the inaugural Champion. The final Champion was Daniel Bryan, who won a Unification Match for the TV & European Championship against Matt Hardy on Episode 287 - Smackdown.
