Title history

On January 1, 2012, the championship was abandoned after champion Atsushi Sawada lost the championship belt during the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. On May 5, 2013, Scorpio Sky pinned Shaun Ricker in a rematch from the Red Carpet Rumble tournament, from earlier that day, to re-establish the title as the CWFH Heritage Heavyweight Championship.[2][3]

On August 24, 2014, The Hobo challenged Ricky Mandel to a dumpster match, in which he won by putting Mandel in the dumpster; this was the first time the championship changed hands in a dumpster gimmick match.[citation needed] In 2021, the title was renamed the UWN Heritage Heavyweight Championship.[citation needed]
