Title history

It was first won by Conscience who defeated Eric Canyon, Adam Shane, and Hatred in Scotland on 17 July 2004. The title has generally been defended in Scotland, particularly in Bellshill, Bellahouston, Clydebank and Glasgow.[2] It was originally created for British National Wrestling Alliance (NWA)-affiliated promotion NWA UK Hammerlock. The title was first defended outside of Scotland at the NWA 56th Anniversary Show in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in 2004.[3][4][5] Following the closure of NWA UK Hammerlock, the title was taken on by the Scottish Wrestling Alliance and the "NWA" was dropped from the name, resulting in the title simply being called the Scottish Heavyweight Championship.

On June 19 2019, the Scottish Heavyweight Championship was vacated along with the ICW World Heavyweight Championship and UEWA European Heavyweight Championship due to the death of Lionheart, the holder of these titles.[6][7][8]

The reactivated championship was won by Jack Jester on 4 August 2023. [9]
