When JWA shut down in 1973, the title went inactive until being reactivated in All Japan [Pro Wrestling] in 1976 after New Japan Pro-Wrestling announced the creation of its own version of the title. The NJPW title was retired in 1981, while the AJPW title was retired in 1995, following the retirement of final champion Kintarō Ōki.
On December 15, 2017, the Pro Wrestling Land's End promotion announced that it had gotten the blessing of Pacific Wrestling Federation chairman Dory [Funk Jr.] and Mitsuo Momota, the son of inaugural champion Rikidōzan, to revive the Asia Heavyweight Championship with a tournament to crown the new champion set to take place in South Korea on January 21, 2018. This also led to a new name and a new design of the championship. The tournament was won by Ryoji Sai who defeated Bodyguard in the finals of an eight-man tournament.
