The '''IWE Cruiserweight Championship''' was a [[Professional Wrestling|professional wrestling]] [[Championship (professional wrestling)|championship]] originally used in [[World Championship Wrestling (WCW)|World Championship Wrestling]] and later, [[IWE|International Wrestling Federation/Entertainment]] (IWF/E). It was challenged by [[Cruiserweight (professional wrestling)|cruiserweights]] at a maximum weight of 225lbs. Following the acquisition of WCW by the then-IWF in 2001, it became a IWF (and later, IWE) championship and replaced the [[IWF Light Heavyweight Championship]]. During the first [[IWE Brand Extension]], it was the only title to be exclusive to the [[IWE SmackDown|SmackDown]] brand during its entire tenure.

It existed in WCW from 1996 until 2001, but after the WWE purchased WCW, they considered the [[WCW Light Heavyweight Championship]]'s lineage to be one and the same as the Cruiserweight Championship's, thus beginning its lineage in 1991. In WCW, the inaugural champion was [[Shinjiro Otani]], but the WWE officially recognizes [[Brian Pigman|Brian Pillman]], who was the inaugural WCW Light Heavyweight Champion, as the inaugural Cruiserweight Champion. It was retired in 2007 with [[Hornswoggle]] as its final holder.

A new [[IWE Cruiserweight Championship]] was created in 2016, and although both championships share the same name, the new championship does not carry the lineage of the original.
