ECW Championship

The ECW Championship (Extreme Championship Wrestling) is a professional wrestling championship that was originally used in ECW themselves as a single brand but is now used by the WWE as ECW was merged into it. It's original name was Eastern Championship Wrestling thanks to the ECW owners, like the WWE owners, who were the same people, being from Asia, pacifically Japan. This was later changed due to the lack of Asian wrestlers and thanks to Paul Heyman's shenanigans.

The title was deactivated in 2001 when ECW went out of the bizzo. ECW was then finally purchased by WWE two years later in mid 2003. In 2006, WWE reactivated the ECW championship as the world title along with the World Heavyweight Championship and the WWE Championship. It was a third concurrently active world championship in the promotion, complementing the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships, who belong to RAW and SmackDown respectfully. The first ever holder of this title was James Bonzo while the current one is Ezekiel Jackson, who defeated Jake Roberts successfully for the title. The title was established on April 21, 1991.
