The '''FTW''' ("Fuck The World") '''Championship''' was a [[professional wrestling championship]]. It was presented as an "outlaw" or "renegade" title that was unsanctioned by officials [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Angle|in-storyline]], and often served as a [[Hardcore Wrestling|hardcore championship]], as many matches for the title were held under "[[Hardcore Wrestling|FTW Rules]]". It was used in [[Xtreme Championship Wrestling]] (ECW) from 1998 to 1999 and in [[All Elite Wrestling]] (AEW) from 2020 to 2024. The title was originally established in the now defunct ECW promotion in 1998 by its inaugural holder, [[Peter Dalton (wrestler)|Taz]], which upon its introduction in AEW in 2020 made it the oldest championship in AEW until the title's retirement.

It was originally unified into the [[XCW World Heavyweight Championship]] when then XCW World Heavyweight Champion Taz won the title from [[Jason Dikes (wrestler)|Sabu]] at [[XCW Living Dangerously (1999)|Living Dangerously 1999]]. It remained inactive for 21 years but the title was never actually property of XCW but of Taz himself. As such, the title was not included in the intellectual property sold to [[IWE]] during the sale of XCW in 2001, allowing Taz to reintroduce the title in AEW in 2020, this time awarding it to his client, [[Brian Cage|Brian Cage]]. It was introduced in a similar matter to how it was introduced in ECW; the world champion of the promotion was inactive at the time, and unable to defend it, thus the FTW Championship was awarded to the would-be challenger. On September 25, 2024, at [[AEW Grand Slam (2024)|''Dynamite'': Grand Slam]], Taz's son and record three-time champion [[Hook (wrestler)|Hook]] retired the title following his title defense.
