NWA Scottish Heavyweight Championship
The NWA Scottish Heavyweight Championship is the primary singles title in the Scottish NWA-affiliated wrestling promotion NWA Scotland. It was first won by Conscience who defeated Eric Canyon, Adam Shane, and Hatred in Scotland on July 17, 2004. The title has generally been defended in Scotland, particularly in Bellshill, Bellahouston, Clydebank and Glasgow.[1][2] It has been also defended at several interpromotional events with NWA UK Hammerlock and at the NWA 56th Anniversary Show in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in 2004.[3][4][5] Following the closure NWA UK Hammerlock and the death of Andre Baker, the title was taken on by the Scottish Wrestling Alliance and renamed the SWA Scottish Heavyweight Championship. The current champion is Drew Galloway in his first reign, having defeated Doug Williams on April 24, 2015.[6]
