The GBYWN World Heavyweight Championship is a backyard wrestling world championship assigned as one of various other championships in backyard wrestling community, GBYWN. It is the highest ranked title representing the community. The title was created second to the GBYWN Championship which was later altered to the GBYWN West Coast Championship, that was rendered from a top to territory title.

History
Origination
The title was introduced during the GBYWN Promo Challenge in 2008, where Bridgeview Wrestling Association's (BWA) Shooter recorded an internet video for the challenge appearing with a self-made makeshift championship belt and proclaiming himself the first champion. The title was thus, delegated to the Great Lakes Territory to be defended in that geographical area BWA is located in.
Factually in 2007, Cassius Chaos was the first to appear with the idea of a community championship designed to represent the website when he declared himself in an online promo as GBYWN Champion, although not sanctioned as legitimate. Chaos was slated to defend the title against "The Cheese Kid" Steven Alvarez, but the match never came to execution. Inexplicably after absence of Chaos, the title was relocated to Backyard Kid Wrestling where Alvarez claimed it to the community's acknowledgement. Circa 2009, two top championships became confusingly unnecessary and the GBYWN Title was converted into the GBYWN West Coast Championship. The World Heavyweight Title, however, remained the top tier community title, despite the fact that the title holders are not "heavyweights" aside from arguably Xcal, who had held the belt once.
Title Contention
Shooter from BWA defended the championship on June 6, 2009 during the second day of BWA 4th Anniversary: Global Domination and lost to EXWF's Xcal, whereas, the belt went over to his correspondent promotion. Xcal then lost the belt a week later to ICW/2KW's FX, who held competition for it from New York to Nevada successfully defending it. On October 27th, 2009, at ICW's Midwest Extravaganza, Shooter defeated FX and ICW's The Pen Name to win the title for the second time.
