WZCW Elite Title History

http://i.imgur.com/fQD7PuB.png

The oldest championship (outside of the World title) has seen a long history of competitors coveting this title as an alternative the greatest prize one can achieve. The Elite X has elevated many a superstar but it has also broken many as well - a curse that comes with holding the championship. As the years wore on, the championship played second fiddle to its Eurasian brother but with recent (as well as future) developments, the Elite X title is seeing a re-resurgence to reclaim its former glory and become one of the most hard-fought titles in the company.

Elite X Title Rules Archive: [Now Defunct]

Click for Spoiler:

The Challenge- The Elite X Championship will be on the line every time its holder wrestles a singles match. The goal of the challenge is to successfully defend the Elite X Title seven times.

The Prize- Should the Elite X Champion successfully complete the challenge, the Elite X Champion will vacate the Elite X Title and be rewarded with a guaranteed title match with the WZCW World Heavyweight Champion. This match will take place on the round of shows that immediately follows the Elite X Champion's seventh consecutive successful title defense.

Challengers- In order to determine a list of challengers, a match will be held at each WZCW pay-per-view, the winner of said match will receive an Elite X Title shot during the following PPV cycle. Showings in the match at the PPV will allow us to pick out other competitors, however superstars can be chosen to compete through other ventures.

No challenger will get more than one shot against the same champion. If Wrestler A is Elite X Champion, and Wrestler B fails to beat Wrestler A, then Wrestler B cannot wrestle for the Elite X Title again until Wrestler A completes the challenge or drops the title.

WZCW Creative will decide on a worthy challenger for the title at the PPV, likely through the use of a number one contender's match during a weekly show.

• Noah Ryder as the reigning champion arrived at the Silverdome instead of the Superdome. As a result he was stripped of the Elite Openweight Championship due to failure to defend it on time.

• The title was put on the line in a Battle Royal to crown a new champion.
