History

The championship was created as the IWA Extreme Cruiserweight Championship in 2006 and was intended to be a replacement for the IWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship; it was introduced on November 25, 2006 by IWA General Manager Orlando Toledo. The title was later renamed to the IWA Extreme Combat Division Championship in 2009, the IWA Cruiserweight Championship in April 2011, the IWA Television Championship on June 4, 2011, and lastly to the IWA Yoú Tu Championship in January 2012.[1] The championship was retired in June 2012 when IWA closed. In 2017, the physical belt was used by the World Wrestling League (WWL) as the WWL Yoú Tu Championship; though the belt appeared on WWL events, it was never defended.
