The NWA Mid-America Heavyweight Championship is a professional wrestling title that was originally defended in the US states of Tennessee and Alabama. The title began in 1957 and lasted first until 1980 when it was first abandoned when Jerry Jarrett took over the Mid-American titles from Nick Gulas. Jarrett revived it in 1981, making it a part of the Memphis-based Continental Wrestling Association, and it then lasted until 1987 when it was unified with the newly created CWA (now renamed Championship Wrestling Association) Heavyweight Championship.^[1][2]

On May 10, 2024, NWA President Billy Corgan announced that the NWA will reactivate the Mid-America Heavyweight Championship and a new champion will be crowned at their "Back to the Territories" event on June 1, 2024, in Knoxville, Tennessee.^[3]
