This title is not to be confused with the NIWA World Championship.

The NIWA World Heavyweight Championship is the top title contested in the National Internet Wrestling Alliance fantasy wrestling promotion. The championship was created on June 28, 2008, but the first champion was determined in a tournament format. Zangief became the first NIWA World Heavyweight Champion on August 30, 2008 when he defeated "007" James Bond at Summer Stampede in a Ladder Match with help from The Security (Steve Wilkos and Blade). The championship is James Bond, who defeated Goldar on October 31, 2014 at Hardcore Halloween 2K14.

Being a professional wrestling championship, it is not won via direct competition; it is instead won via a predetermined ending to a match or awarded to a wrestler because of a wrestling angle. There have been 28 reigns by fourteen wrestlers with two vacancies. The vacancies came when James Bond was stripped due to sustaining an injury and the events that happen after the NIWA World Heavyweight Championship match at NIWA Homecoming.
