WWF Wrestling Challenge

WWF Wrestling Challenge was a professional wrestling television program produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). It was syndicated weekly and aired from 1986 to 1995. The show became simply known as WWF Challenge in 1995. The show featured matches, pre-match interviews, and occasionally, summarized weekly events in WWF programming. Matches primarily saw top tier and mid-level talent versus jobbers. At times, there was a "feature" match between main WWF talent. As with other syndicated WWF programming, the show promoted WWF event dates and house shows in local media markets.

Wrestling Challenge premiered on September 7, 1986, replacing WWF All-Star Wrestling.

Following the show's debut, The Snake Pit, hosted by Jake Roberts, debuted as a feature of the show. The Snake Pit was an in-ring interview segment modeled after Roddy Piper's Piper's Pit, which aired on WWF Superstars of Wrestling. Wrestling Challenge also featured the similarly formatted The Brother Love Show. This segment, which debuted in 1988, was later moved to Superstars of Wrestling. Additionally in 1991, The Barber Shop debuted with host Brutus Beefcake, while The King's Court, hosted by Jerry Lawler debuted in 1993.
