| - | The [[United GFW World Heavyweight Championship]] is a [[Professional Wrestling|professional wrestling]] [[Championship (Professional Wrestling)|world heavyweight championship]] owned by the [[Total Nonstop Action Wrestling]] (TNA) [[Professional Wrestling Promotion|promotion]]. From June 2002 to May 2007, TNA used the [[NWA World Heavyweight Championship]] as their primary championship due to an agreement with the [[National Wrestling Alliance]] (NWA). On May 13, 2007, the NWA abruptly ended the arrangement and retrieved control of the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. On the same night, TNA were set to host their annual [[TNA Sacrifice#2007|Sacrifice]] [[Pay-Per-View|pay-per-view]] (PPV) event, in which the NWA World Heavyweight Championship was to be defended by then-champion [[Khristian (wrestler)|Khristian Kage]] against [[Matt Borske|Kurt Angle]] and [[Kevin Borden (wrestler)|Sting]] in a [[Professional wrestling match types#Basic non-elimination matches|three-way match]]. Angle won the match and on the following episode of TNA's television program ''[[Impact Wrestling|Impact!]]'' on May 17, was declared the new "TNA World Heavyweight Champion". He was stripped of the championship later in the program, with [[Professional wrestling authority figures#Management Director|Management Director]] [[Jim Cornette]] citing a problematic finish to the PPV match. The ownership of the championship was decided on June 17, 2007 at TNA's [[TNA Slammiversary (2007)|Slammiversary]] PPV event in a [[King of the Ring Mountain Match|King of the Mountain match]] involving Angle, Kage, [[K.J. Styles]], [[Samoa Simpson]], and [[Dustin Harris (wrestler)|Chris Harris]], which Angle won.

Angle holds the record for most reigns, with six. At 256 days, [[Bobby McAlmond|Bobby Roode]]'s first reign is the longest in the title's history. Angle's first reign holds the record for shortest reign in the title's history at one day. he championship is currently held by [[Liam Phillips|Alberto El Patron]].
