Dean Ambrose recently passed the 160-day mark for his reign as the WWE United States Champion, making his the tenth longest since the belt was revived in 2003. With over a decade of title history now behind it in the WWE, we look back at ten superstars that have enjoyed a good run as US champ.
10. Dean Ambrose
The current holder burst onto the scene last year as part of The Shield. Partners Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns helped Ambrose go on a tear. They attacked big names like The Big Show, Kane, Randy Orton and Sheamus before becoming the bodyguards of power couple Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, also known as The Authority. Ambrose's US title reign began when he defeated Kofi Kingston at Extreme Rules 2013. Since then it has been a case of keeping hold of the gold at all costs. Ambrose took a count out victory over Kane at Payback and then lost by disqualification to Rob Van Dam at Summerslam. A pinfall victory over Dolph Ziggler followed at Night of Champions, but Ambrose then deliberately got himself counted out at Hell In A Cell against Big E Langston. With tension starting to creep into The Shield stable how much longer can remain US champ?
