XAWA World Heavyweight Championship

The XAWA World Heavyweight Championship is the world heavyweight championship title owned by XAWA. It was established in 2011, following the combining of the XWA and AWA World Heavyweight Championships. It is currently the highest-ranked championship in XAWA. It is also the only belt not to be under the 30-day defense rule.

History
The belt was first introduced into the XAWA in 2011 when the XWA and AWA combined into one organization, as well as their World Championships.

XWA World Heavyweight Championship
The World title of XWA was established in 2000 as the organization was formed. However, the records are lost on who exactly was the first XWA World Heavyweight Champion. The belt was defended right up until the XWA's closure in 2009, and was even defended on AWA programming several times. The final XWA champion was Cyrus Mason, who received the belt as a result of the 30-day defense rule expiring. By XWA guidelines, it reverted to the previous champion, Mason, and he held the belt until both organizations closed down in 2009.

AWA World Heavyweight Championship
The AWA World Heavyweight Championship was established in 2003 when the AWA formed. The first champion of the organization was Kitana, who was awarded the championship from the outset. The final AWA champion was Blackheart, who received the belt as a result of the 30-day defense rule expiring. By AWA guidelines, it revereted to the previous champion, Blackheart, and he held the belt until both organizations closed down in 2009.

Prominence
The XAWA World Heavyweight Championship was formed from the two belts, and was first up for grabs on May 30, 2011 at Awakening. Cyrus Mason became the first champion by defeating Iron Bull in a Leather Strap match.
