UWA Asia Pacific Heavyweight Championship


The UWA Asia Pacific Heavyweight Championship is a single championship title in the Japanese professional wrestling promotion Strong Style Pro-Wrestling, formerly known as Real Japan Pro Wrestling. The title was established in 2018 as part of a collaboration between SSPW and the revived Mexican Universal Wrestling Association. As it is a professional wrestling championship, the championship is not won not by actual competition, but by a scripted ending to a match determined by the bookers and match makers. On occasion the promotion declares a championship vacant, which means there is no champion at that point in time. This can either be due to a storyline, or real life issues such as a champion suffering an injury being unable to defend the championship, or leaving the company.
, there have been a total of five reigns. The current champion is Shogun Okamoto who is in his second reign.

History
