The NBYWA (National Backyard Wrestling Alliance) World Heavyweight Championship is a backyard wrestling World Heavyweight Championship as recognized by the National Backyard Wrestling Alliance.

Background

Design used September 30, 2009 - September 5, 2010.

Design used September 5, 2010 - March 21, 2011.

On January 6, 2009, Skull Jr. of Total Hardcore Wrestling and RPK of Hybrid Championship Wrestling announced a supershow event to take place later that August. When Skull had a falling out with the Global Backyard Wrestling News, he created NBYWA, and afterward the already defunct GBYWN Michigan Heavyweight Championship was revived by NBYWA as the International Heavyweight Championship. The supershow was going to crown the first NBYWA World Heavyweight and World Tag Team Champions. The event lost it's potential and eventually became an HCW-exclusive show, and no new Champions were crowned. After much delay, Skull Jr. awarded The Pen Name of Indiana Championship Wrestling the belt on September 28, 2009 because he was booked to the original match that would've crowned the first Champion earlier. It was first defended on September 30, in a 7-7 tie with The Executioner in an Iron Man Match for both the NBYWA World Title and the ICW Undisputed Hardcore Heavyweight Title. It was the only time the Title had been on the line for almost a year. On March 21, 2010, ICW closed, and The Pen Name eventually moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to join Suicidal Wrestling Clash. Though not a federation in the NBYWA, Skull let TPN keep the belt, as he was a possible wrestler to appear at his supershow. On August 25, 2010, TPN told Skull he wouldn't be able to show up, and the title was vacated immediately. Skull won it at THW 22/NBYWA 1 by forfeit against Karnage, due to Karnage's mother being in the hospital. A re-match was scheduled for a week after against the two because of it. On March 2, 2011, it was announced that NBYWA had ordered a new World Heavyweight Championship belt from TABC Belts, a custom championship belt making website. On March 21, 2011, the belt was delivered and Skull made a promo video unveiling the new design. The reason why Skull said he made the change was because he was a little too over-protective of his replica belts to use live, but in kayfabe he said the change was made because the new belt was "newer and better". On April 23, Skull defended both this and the MWA Hardcore Title at "NBYWA 2: Rivals" in a two-round hardcore match against Lance Manion. Skull retained the MWA Hardcore Championship in round 1, but lost the NBYWA World Title to Lance in round 2 after interference by Karnage. On June 21, Sean Steel of the federation Higher Passion Wrestling claimed he had possession of the NBYWA World Title. The next day, Skull Jr. and NBYWA responded, denying the claim. On July 3, Lance Manion was attacked before an MWA show which was canceled, leaving him out of action for around two weeks. The NBYWA Board of Directors decided to award the belt to Skull Jr. because he was the #1 contender, making him the first two-time champion. On July 14, Skull left MWA due to the lack of events, re-lauched THW, and brought the belt with him. He also revived the THW World Title and resumed his role as champion.
