The '''AWA Southern Heavyweight Championship''' was a major [[professional wrestling]] [[championship (professional wrestling)|title]] in the [[Continental Wrestling Association]] during the 1970s and 1980s. The title is part of a long lineage that was started when the [[NWA Southern Junior Heavyweight Championship]], in use since 1939, was renamed the '''NWA Southern Heavyweight Championship ''(Memphis version)''''' in 1974. The title's name changed again in 1978, when it was renamed the AWA Southern Heavyweight Championship due to a partnership with the [[American Wrestling Association]]. It was also called the '''Mid-Southern Heavyweight Championship''' in ''[[Pro Wrestling Illustrated]]'' and its sister publications, in order for this title to not be confused with [[Championship Wrestling from Florida]]'s [[NWA Florida Southern Heavyweight Championship|version of the title]].

The title was revived in the [[United States Wrestling Association]] from 1989 until 1997 when the USWA closed. It was known as the '''USWA Southern Heavyweight Championship''' and later simply the '''USWA Heavyweight Championship''' during that time; however, unlike the previous Southern title in Memphis, this one played a secondary role to the [[USWA Unified World Heavyweight Championship]]. It was revived in [[Memphis Championship Wrestling]] as the '''MCW Southern Heavyweight Championship''' in 2000 and 2001. It was later revived and renamed in 2004 for use in [[Memphis Wrestling]] as the '''Memphis Wrestling Southern Heavyweight Championship''', where the last recorded champion was [[Brian Christopher]], winning the championship on November 4, 2010, but with no recorded championship matches since then.<ref name=NoDefenses>{{cite web | url=http://www.cagematch.net/?id=5&nr=42&page=5&reign=17 | title=Memphis Wrestling Southern Heavyweight Championship | access-date=March 24, 2017 | work=CageMatch}}</ref> Memphis Wrestling held their last regular event in 2009.<ref name=LastShow>{{cite web | url=http://www.cagematch.net/?id=8&nr=256&page=4 | title= Memphis Wrestling > Events |access-date=March 24, 2017 | work=CageMatch}}</ref>
