Чемпионство в первом тяжёлом весе - чемпионский титул, созданный и первоначально продвигавшийся в World Championship Wrestling (WCW), а позже в WWE. Титул оспаривался рестлерами-полутяжеловесами, вес которых не превышал 102 кг.
Чемпионат был создан WCW в 1996 году, однако WWE посчитали этот титул продолжением более раннего чемпионата WCW в полутяжёлом весе, который был создан в 1991 году и упразднен в 1992-м.
В 2002 году был объединён с существовавшим в WWE своим чемпионатом в полутяжёлом весе, став единственным, а чемпионат WWF в полутяжёлом весе был упразднён.
Титул был упразднён в 2007 году.
В 2016 году был создан новый чемпионат WWE в первом тяжёлом весе, но история титула начата заново. В 2019 году переименован в чемпионат NXT в первом тяжёлом весе. Чемпионат имел другой весовой предел в 205 фунтов (93 килограмма).
4 января 2022 года титул упразднили.
