WCW世界ヘビー級王座
Ric Flair initially retained the WCW World Heavyweight Championship but Ricky Steamboat also claimed his right to be the champion due to having pinned Flair, which led Commissioner Nick Bockwinkel to vacate the title on the April 30 episode of "Saturday Night" due to the controversial ending of the title match at Spring Stampede. Bockwinkel then scheduled a rematch between the two for the vacant title for the May 14 episode of "Saturday Night", which Flair won. At Slamboree, Flair successfully defended the WCW World Heavyweight Championship against Barry Windham, who returned to WCW for the first time as Flair's mystery challenger since losing the NWA World Heavyweight Championship to Flair, the previous year at Beach Blast.
