The High Speed Championship is a professional wrestling championship owned by the World Wonder Ring Stardom promotion. The title was originally created on May 5, 2009, in the NEO Japan Ladies Pro Wrestling promotion, where Natsuki☆Taiyo defeated Ray to become the inaugural champion.[2] As the name of the title suggests, it is meant for fast and high-flying wrestlers. On November 19, 2010, Stardom acquired the rights to the High Speed Championship from NEO, which had announced it would be folding after December 31.[6] On July 24, 2011, Natsuki☆Taiyo, now affiliated with Stardom, defeated JWP Joshi Puroresu's Leon to officially bring the title over to the promotion.[3]

Like most professional wrestling championships, the title is won as a result of a scripted match. There have been nine reigns shared among five different wrestlers. Koguma is the current champion in her first reign.[1]

Reigns

Natsuki☆Taiyo was the first champion in the title's history.[2] She also holds the records for most reigns, with four,[2][3][7][8] the longest reign in the title's history at 679 days, achieved on her third reign, and the shortest reign at 128 days, achieved on her fourth reign. Overall, there have been nine reigns shared among five different wrestlers. Koguma is the current champion in her first reign.[1]
