 Television Championship | Although it may not hold the prestige that its other championship counterparts possess, it's easily the most competitive title in the AWA. While the AWA currently doesn't have a television deal, the title must still be defended at every wouldbe televised show, which would be the weekly Riptide event. The Television Championship must be defended under standard AWA rules, with the exception of a fifteen minute time limit that is strictly adhered to. If the bout results in a time limit draw, the champion not only retains the title, but is also awarded a win for the match. Defending the belt on Supercards is optional. Upon losing the Television Championship, the former champion is NOT entitled to a championship rematch. |
 Atlantic Championship | The Atlantic Championship has been unofficially coined the "Iron Man Championship" due to the fact that, if defended in singles competition, it must be defended in a two-out-of-three falls match. Considered a stepping stone to the Heavyweight Championship by some, a wrestler must be in excellent physical condition to claim this prize, having to compete in two, and often times three consecutive matches in a single night! Another oddity that adds to the uniqueness of this title is the over-the-top-rope disqualification rule, which is enforced in every match. Upon losing the belt, the former champion automatically becomes the number one contender and is entitled to a rematch for the championship. |
 Tag Team Championships | The Tag Team Champions are considered the best two-man combination in the AWA. These two championship straps are the only titles in the tag team division, and are often hard sought after. Although second to the Heavyweight Championship in face value, many feel that winning tag team gold may actually be more challenging, considering all of the experience and teamwork that is lacking in singles competition. Upon losing the Tag Team Championships, the former champions automatically become the number one contenders and are entitled to a rematch for the belts. |
 Heavyweight Championship | The Heavyweight Championship is the most valued title in the AWA. It is the highest level that can be achieved by a singles wrestler and the Heavyweight Champion is universally recognized as the top wrestler in the AWA. Winning this title would almost assure a wrestler a spot in the Hall of Fame. Upon losing the belt, the former champion automatically becomes the number one contender and is entitled to a rematch for the championship. The old AWA Heavyweight Championship belt, which has been around since 1999 when it first surfaced in the Elite Wrestling Federation, was retired on July 12, 2005. The old belt has been stored away and replaced with a new, custom-designed title that still respresents the Heavyweight Champion to this very day. |
