The '''NWA World League Wrestling (WLW) Heavyweight Championship''', is a [[professional wrestling]] championship in [[Independent circuit|independent]] [[professional wrestling promotion]] [[World League Wrestling|NWA World League Wrestling]]. It is the promotion's primary championship.

The championship is generally contested in [[Professional wrestling match types|professional wrestling matches]], in which participants execute [[Screenplay|scripted]] finishes rather than contend in [[Competition#Sports|direct competition]]. Some reigns were held by champions using a [[ring name]] while others use their [[Personal name|real name]]. Moses is the current champion in his first reign.  He won the title in a six-man tag team match featuring himself, Leland Race, and Kyle Roberts against then-champion Derek Stone, Jon Webb, and Camaro Jackson in Troy, Missouri.

As of {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}, {{CURRENTYEAR}}, there have been 64 recognized reigns between 35 recognized champions and 9 recognized vacancies.  The first champion was Steve Sharp, who won the championship on February 12, 1999.  The champion with the single longest reign is Trevor Murdoch, who held the title for 448 days.  The champion with the most reigns is Leland Race, who has held the title six times.
