Heavyweight Wrestling from Washington was the first weekly televised wrestling program produced by the WWE, which at the time was a regional professional wrestling promotion called Capitol Wrestling Corporation, a member of the National Wrestling Alliance. The show was hosted by Ray Morgan and was taped at the Capital Center in Washington, D.C..

The show debuted in the 1950s and aired until 1972 when Vincent James McMahon moved the television tapings to eastern Pennsylvania and replaced Heavyweight Wrestling with WWWF Championship Wrestling. Morgan stayed with Championship Wrestling until he was replaced by McMahon's son Vincent K. McMahon.
