History

In 1957 "Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers became the inaugural champion. The title began in 1957 and lasted first until 1980 when it was first abandoned when Jerry Jarrett took over the Mid-American titles from Nick Gulas. Jarrett revived it in 1981, making it a part of the Memphis-based Continental Wrestling Association, and it then lasted until 1987 when it was unified with the newly created CWA Heavyweight Championship.
The title was originally defended in the United States in Tennessee and Alabama.
On May 10, 2024, NWA President Billy Corgan announced that the NWA would reactivate the Mid-America Heavyweight Championship, with a new champion being crowned at their Back to the Territories event on June 1, 2024, in Knoxville, Tennessee; Jeremiah Plunkett defeated Dante Casanova, Hunter Drake, and Mario Parua in a four-way elimination match to win the revived title.
