The Defiant Championship[1] is a world heavyweight championship promoted by Defiant Wrestling. The title was first established as the WCPW World Championship on the first episode of Loaded on June 15, 2016.[2] Big Damo became the first champion after defeating Rampage in a singles match to become the inaugural champion at Build to Destroy on June 16.[3] The championship has been defended in the United Kingdom, the United States[4][5] and Germany.[6]
Overall, there have been 7 reigns shared among 7 wrestlers. Title reigns are determined either by professional wrestling matches between wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines, or by scripted circumstances. Wrestlers are portrayed as either villains or heroes as they follow a series of tension-building events, which culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches for the championship. At 155 days Joe Hendry's only reign is the longest in the title's history. At 1 days Martin Kirby's only reign is the shortest in the title's history. Drew Galloway hold's the record of most defenses with 9 successful title defenses.[7]
History[edit]
On June 15 at the first episode of Loaded WCPW announced the creation of WCPW World Championship.[8] Big Damo became the inaugural champion after defeating Rampage at Build to Destroy on June 16.[9] Originally when WCPW ordered the championship belt, the manufacturers thought that it was a title to play for the Youtube personalities, when WCPW discovered that the title was so small, the WCPW staff were shocked and they had to order a new one. It only arrived during Joseph Conners's reign. At the time WCPW on-screen general manager Adam Blampied comment that "It look like Damo had gone out to a local Toys "R" Us and got himself a replica of WWE one and painted at black".[10] Conners was the first champion to defend the title out of WCPW territory on November 12, 2016.[11] Drew Galloway after winning the title began defending the title in the United States first on January 21, 2017[12] and second on April 1.[13] The title was then defended in Germany during Joe Hendry.[14] Following the relaunch of WCPW to Defiant Wrestling, the title was renamed to Defiant Championship, which on-screen general manager Stu Bennett unvield at WeAreDefiant.[15]
