The EWE Championship is one of two main championships in the EWE, along with the World Heavyweight Championship. It was established by the EWE in 2003, and is the oldest championship recognized by the promotion. The championship has been largely defended under the Overkill (formerly Thunder) brand until March 2010 when then-champion Shawn Jackson was traded to Blackened (formerly Xplosion) as part of the '2010 Reshape'.
