former championship created by World Championship Wrestling and promoted by the American professional wrestling promotion World Wrestling Federation

The WCW World Heavyweight Championship, also known simply as the WCW Championship or the World Championship, was a professional wrestling world championship. It was the biggest prize of World Championship Wrestling, after the NWA World Heavyweight Championship was no longer competed for in WCW. It existed in WCW from 1991 to 2001, and was then competed for in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) until it was made into one with the WWF Championship and retired in December.
