The championship was first created for PROGRESS Wrestling back in 2016, where Rampage Brown was the first person to hold the belt. Before going defunct in 2019, the title was also held by Matt Riddle, WALTER, Trent Seven, and Doug Williams.
PROGRESS was bought by Lee McAteer at the end of 2021, thus putting the company under new management. The revival of the title was announced in March.
