In 2002, two current major promotions started business; Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) and Ring of Honor (ROH). TNA took the quick route to success, gaining usage of the NWA titles through a working agreement with the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA). With the NWA World Heavyweight Championship back in the spotlight, TNA presented the title defenses on an international scale. TNA eventually left the NWA in 2007 and thus replaced the NWA World Heavyweight Championship with their own TNA World Heavyweight Championship. TNA was later renamed to Impact Wrestling in 2017. Meanwhile, Ring of Honor established their ROH World Championship, defending the title internationally over several continents by 2003. Another major promotion, All Elite Wrestling (AEW), started up in 2019, which quickly became the United States' second largest promotion behind WWE; their AEW World Championship was introduced later that year.
