WWE has officially closed the book on the NXT Heritage Cup Championship. The title has been quietly removed from the active championships section of WWE.com, ending a lineage that traces back to NXT UK in 2020.

WWE archive listing shows the title was still included on the company’s site as recently as late May, placing the removal sometime between then and now.



Fans have anticipated this move for a while. The Heritage Cup has not been featured on NXT programming since Tony D’Angelo stole the cup and tossed it off a bridge in July 2025, a storyline moment that effectively ended the title’s run.



Despite that, Channing ‘Stacks’ Lorenzo had remained the technical champion the entire time. Lorenzo won the title in June 2025 and was still listed as the holder right up until the removal, leaving his final reign clocked at 345 days.

The Heritage Cup was first introduced in 2020 for the NXT UK brand. Over its run, it was held by a string of names from across NXT’s various eras.

  • Tyler Bate
  • Noam Dar
  • A-Kid
  • Mark Coffey
  • Lexis King
  • Nathan Frazer
  • Channing Lorenzo

Noam Dar holds the record for the longest individual reign at 341 days. Lorenzo’s final reign of 345 days technically surpasses that mark, though it ended not with a defeat but with the title being written off and never defended again.
