NXT Championship (New-WWE)

The NXT Championship is a main event title in New-WWE. It was introduced in Season 9, replacing the DCO World Championship. Though it is a main event title and considered by the company to be a World Championship, the NXT Title is secondary to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. As a result, it cannot be used in place of it to complete Triple Crowns, and does not count towards the Grand Slam. The first NXT Champion in New-WWE was Biff Andreas. The current champion is Athouse, who is in his first reign as champion.
