# Active Advance Pro Wrestling Openweight Championship

The 2AW Openweight Championship is a professional wrestling world championship created and promoted by the Japanese promotion Active Advance Pro Wrestling, being sanctioned as the promotion's top championship. There have been a total of eleven reigns shared between eight different champions. The current champion is Ayato Yoshida who is in his third reign.

## Title history

In April 2019, the promotion (previously named Kaientai Dojo) announced that they were rebranding as Active Advance Pro Wrestling (2AW). This came as the company attempted to rebrand itself after the Taka Michinoku scandal, also changing its colors to black and white. That same night, young wrestler Ayato Yoshida won the Strongest-K Championship, symbolically leading the company into the future. He retired the title as the new 2AW Openweight Championship was created to replace it.
There have been a total of eleven reigns shared between eight different champions. Shu Asakawa was the inaugural champion. Ayato Yoshida holds the record for the longest reign with 298 days and also for the most individual reigns with three and also for the most cumulated successful defenses with twelve. The current champion is Yoshida himself who defeated Taishi Takizawa 2AW Grand Slam In TKP Garden City in Chiba, Japan.
