Description
The NXT Heritage Cup is a men's professional wrestling championship created and promoted by the American promotion WWE. It is a specialized championship for NXT, the promotion's developmental brand, defended exclusively under British Rounds Rules. The current champion is Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, who is in his first reign. He won the vacant title by defeating Tony D'Angelo by 2–1 on NXT on June 24, 2025; previous champion Noam Dar relinquished the title due to injury.
Unveiled on September 10, 2020, as the NXT UK Heritage Cup , it was originally established as a secondary championship for NXT UK, which was a sister brand of NXT based in the United Kingdom. The inaugural champion was A-Kid. At Worlds Collide on September 4, 2022, all other NXT UK championships were unified into their respective NXT championship counterparts due to the closure of NXT UK. The Heritage Cup, however, was the only championship from either brand that was not contested at the event. The title then saw months of inactivity until April 4, 2023, when it was transferred to NXT. During Lexis King's reign from January to April 2025, the British Rounds Rules were suspended.
