The GCW Ultraviolent Championship is a professional wrestling hardcore championship created and promoted by the American promotion Game Changer Wrestling (GCW). Until January 19, 2025, it was one of the two hardcore championships promoted by the promotion, alongside the GCW Extreme Championship, until both titles was unified, retiring the second one. The title can be won by both male and female wrestlers.[1]
Title history
[edit | edit source]Like most professional wrestling championships, the title is won as a result of a scripted match. Championship matches typically occur on GCW events, though at least one championship match has been promoted by Big Japan Pro Wrestling (BJW).
There have been a total of nine reigns shared between seven different champions plus one vacancy. The current champion is Matt Tremont, who is in his first reign, after winning the Unification DLC match, alongside Maki Itoh's GCW Extreme Championship, by defeating Itoh, Brandon Kirk, Dr. Redacted, Drew Parker, John Wayne Murdoch, Matthew Justice and Rina Yamashita.
