The title was originally known as the B.S.W.A. World Heavyweight Championship (1988-1998). When the SWE took over the title in 2002 it became the SWE World Heavyweight Championship and, in May 2005, the S.W.E. changed the title to the SWE British Style Wrestling Championship. In 2006, the SWE World Heavyweight Championship was reinstated and has been in use ever since.
The very first champion was a wrestler named The Prince Of Pain from Newcastle. He was undefeated until October 1998 when he faced the rising Scottish Star Bravehart. This was the first time the Prince of Pain had been defeated in over 10 years. Bravehart held the title until 1st may 2004 when he lost the title to Daemon. Daemon the title for 2 weeks before losing the title again to Bravehart on 18th of may 2004.
The new SWE British Championship was presented to Korneilius in Alyth town hall on 14th of may 2005 by SWE Commisioner Bravehart.
The SWE World Heavyweight Championship has since been re-instated by the SWE and is now fought for by the leading Heavyweights in the SWE.
The SWE British Championship was merged with the SWE World Championship on friday the 23rd november 2007 in a title for title, winner takes all match between British Champion Claymore and Heavyweight Champion Randy Valentine with Valentine coming out the winner. The two titles have now been merged into the SWE World Heavyweight Championship.
