List of NWA titles

The NWA Title List provides an overview of the various wrestling titles that have been or are in circulation throughout the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA )’s over 70-year history . The NWA sees itself as a platform for various independent promotions and was once the largest umbrella organization in the history of US wrestling. Especially in the early days of wrestling, from the 1940s to the 1970s, the NWA was important because the different promotions could protect their areas through their territorial structure . Accordingly, championships were initiated that were approved by the umbrella organization and could be fought over the entire territorial structure.

With the rise of the World Wrestling Federation in the 1980s and the break with the WCW in the 1990s, the NWA lost more and more importance.

The wrestling titles are part of a storyline and should not be confused with a real sporting world championship title.

World Titles

Active titles

The NWA, led by Billy Corgan , eliminated the glut of titles that existed until 2017 and concentrated on four currently active "World Titles".

NWA World Heavyweight Championship is the main title of the NWA, which has been awarded since July 14, 1948.
NWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship , also introduced in 1948
NWA World Women's Championship , women's version of the title, introduced in 1954
NWA World Tag Team Championship , promotion tag team title, only introduced in 1992, previously awarded territorially

There were also different versions of the NWA World Tag Team title until 1992. Although the Mid-Atlantic version (later WCW version) of the title was considered the legitimate one. There were also versions of Los Angeles, Texas, Chicago, Georgia, Florida, Detroit, Minneapolis, San Francisco, Central States, Mid-America and Vancouver.

Discontinued titles

Although the following titles are also dubbed "World Championship", the following are exclusively regional titles. They were created before 1992 and were presented as world championships in various territories, although they were only awarded regionally. So they were not legitimized by the board of the NWA, but the designation as world championship title was only used for advertising purposes. A special feature is the NWA World Tag Team Championship , which was awarded by the JCP and later became the WCW World Tag Team Championship. This made it from the unofficial World Championship to the legitimate NWA title, while the rights to the “real” NWA World Tag Team Championship were for a time exclusively with TNA , which only belonged to the NWA at the beginning.

Unofficial title

Mexico's Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL) belonged to the NWA from 1954 until it was renamed the Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). Unlike in US wrestling , titles awarded in Lucha Libre and thus also the NWA World Championships remain with the holder of the title, even if the holder changes his promotion. The following titles are considered NWA titles in Japan and Mexico, but not in the United States:

Former NWA titles

In addition to the World Title, there were various national and international titles. While the title suggests that they were being fought across the United States or in other countries, they were more regional titles used in a single territory. The naming was more for appearances and advertising than the name was of any real meaning. Since every doctorate often created and awarded this title, the following overview should not be considered complete.
