CNW Global Legacy Championship

The **CNW Global Legacy Championship** was a belt produced by CAW Network Wrestling. Any wrestler from any CAW league would have been eligible to fight for the title so long as it was officially sanctioned by the CNW Committee.

## History

The CNW Global Legacy Championship debuted during Season 2 of A.W.A.C. on May 27, 2019, one day after Smokey and A.W.A.C. deactivated the CAW Interpromotional Championship belt. On the official CAW Network Facebook group, the CNW Committee awarded Smokey with the new belt and crowned him as the first-ever champion. Since then, Smokey has defended the title multiple times, starting on August 24, 2019 for A.W.A.C. at their Raven's Dark Ass Summer Vacation special event where he successfully retained against the debuting Biff Andreas.

Afterward, Smokey went on to defend the belt against all comers, starting with The Joker on September 2 on Smokey's own Smoked Out Gaming Webmatch. This started somewhat of a trend where Smokey would only defend the title on his web matches. On September 22, he defended it against OPW's Joe Omega. On October 6, he defended it against ZCW's Zaiah Steel. On November 5th, he defended it against SNJ Hall Of Famer Tommy Vercetti at an A.W.A.C. House Show (issued as Anarchy On Demand #2), and on May 27, 2020, he defended it against WEDF's Samoa Joe. Most recently in August 2020, Smokey defeated Thor at the special crossover event between SCAW and A.W.A.C. called Challenge Of The Immortals. On October 20, Smokey defeated Boom from SMF, who came out of retirement for this match, to successfully retain the title. On July 16, 2021, on Night 2 of Anarchy Rulz 3, Smokey once again defeated Boom to retain his title.

On December 16, 2021, A.W.A.C. announced on its official Discord group that the title would be deactivated due to a lack of competition. A.W.A.C. also announced the one-and-only champion in the belt's history, Smokey, would be released. As a good-will gesture, A.W.A.C. allowed Smokey to keep the belt and even gave him the option of defending it in other promotions (these matches, regardless of the outcome, will not be tracked by A.W.A.C.).

## Belt Design

The CNW Global Legacy Championship only has one design in its history so far. The belt is on a black leather strap and has three plates. The front plate subtly resembles the Bellator Championship with an irregular circular shape made of gold and floral wreaths made of nickel. The middle of the plate displays a black-painted globe with a plate that reads "Global Legacy" while the top banner reads "CNW" and the bottom banner reads "Champion". The front plate is also engraved with unique tooling and ruby and Swarovski jewels.

The left and right side plates have the unique distinction of being customizable to any wrestler. The side plates also have a boxy, irregular shape to them and are also engraved with the same tooling seen on the front plate.

Smokey was the first and only champion. The side plates read "Primal Warrior", which is his nickname.
