United States - Sgt. Slaughter
June 7, 1982 - August 21, 1982
Sgt. Slaughter, once again, benefited from a Wahoo McDaniel injury. When McDaniel was unable to defend his United States Championship as a result of an injury sustained at the hands of Don Muraco and Roddy Piper, the title was simply awarded to Slaughter. It was Slaughter's second reign as U.S. Champion.
