The '''National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) World Heavyweight Championship''' is a professional wrestling [[World Heavyweight Championship|world heavyweight]] [[Championship|championship]] in the [[National Wrestling Alliance]]. Its lineage has been traced from the first World Heavyweight Championship, which traces its lineage to [[Gregory Hackenschmidt]]'s 1905 title and [[Alvin Gotch|Frank Gotch]]'s 1908 version. This effectively makes it the oldest surviving wrestling championship in the world. The title has been competed for in such well-known promotions as [[World Championship Wrestling]] (WCW), [[Xtreme Championship Wrestling]] (XCW) and [[Total Nonstop Action Wrestling]] (TNA).

With many "territories" appearing across the United States, the NWA was formed in 1948 as an overall governing wrestling body. Like franchises, these territories had the option of NWA membership. The promotion owners had to recognize the NWA heavyweight, junior heavyweight, and light heavyweight champions as world champions while retaining their own ownership and top champion.
