The EAW World Heavyweight Championship is a professional wrestling world championship in Elite Answers Wrestling (EAW). It is currently part of the Dynasty brand and is one of the three major championships, complimenting the Answers World Championship on the Showdown brand and EAW World Championship on the Voltage brand. The title was first established in January 2008 when EAW extended itself into two distinct brands. With the EAW World Championship going to Showdown originally in 2008, EAW created the EAW World Heavyweight Championship to fill the role of first tier championship on the Dynasty brand. Since then, the EAW World Heavyweight Championship has been held by many notable competitors including Hall of Famers and other notorious extremists.
History
Origin
The first EAW World Heavyweight Championship Match took place on an episode of Dynasty where Jaywalker took on Hardy Boyz to crown an inaugural champion. Jaywalker would defeat his opponent to become the first World Heavyweight Champion in EAW history.
Prominence
The EAW World Heavyweight Championship has been one, if not the, most sought-after prize in all of EAW history. Most of the Hall of Famers that have been inducted, future stars that have risen to the pinnacle of the industry, and other talented extremists in the company have all held this championship at least once. There have been only three (3) vacancies in the title's prestigious history. The championship began as Dynasty's greatest prize and a response to the EAW World Championship. Over the past twelve plus years and seasons, it has taken turns with EAW's other two world championships as the main championship on each respective brand.
When Dynasty was transformed into Dynasty Wrestling due to rebellion against EAW Chairman Zack Crash, Brian Daniels would win the EAW World Heavyweight Championship from Tyler Parker at Midsummer Massacre. Due to this, Dynasty Wrestling would create their own version of the championship, which would be won by Alex Anderson in a fatal four-way match to deem the rightful champion. Brian Daniels would not allow there to be another person claiming to be the World Heavyweight Champion, challenging Alex Anderson to defend his World Heavyweight Championship against his own at Territorial Invasion. Brian Daniels would win Dynasty Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship from Alex Anderson at the event and become the Undisputed World Heavyweight Champion.
Reigns
The inaugural champion was Jaywalker when he was able to defeat Hardy Boyz on Dynasty. There have been forty-eight (48) different official champions, with Impact having the most reigns with five individual reigns respectively. The longest reigning EAW World Heavyweight Champion is Jamie O'Hara, who held the championship for a historic three hundred twenty-three (323) days between Grand Rampage and Brooklyn Heights. O'Hara is also the longest reigning World Champion in the company's history. The shortest reigning World Heavyweight was Mr. Insult who held the championship for twenty-three (23) minutes as he was later cashed-in on by Captain Charisma. The current champion is Myles who is reigning in his first tenure as EAW World Heavyweight Champion. He won the championship at Road to Redemption, winning the EAW World Heavyweight Championship Extreme Elimination Chamber.
