NWA Western States Heritage Championship

The NWA Western States Heritage Championship was a short-lived National Wrestling Alliance title in World Championship Wrestling that was filled via a tournament in the Universal Wrestling Federation in 1987, and defended in the NWA until it was abandoned in 1989.

The new NWA Western States Heavyweight Championship recognized in 2015 by the NWA and Vendetta Pro Wrestling in Santa Maria, California uses a belt design identical to the belt used for the NWA Western States Heritage Championship,[1] prompting many to refer to it as the "NWA Western States Heritage Championship". The title also credits all former Western States Champions—including the Western States Heritage titleholders—with their reigns as champion.
