NXT North American Championship

The NXT North American Championship is a championship created and promoted by the WWE for their developmental brand NXT. It is the secondary title of the brand and was introduced on NXT TakeOver: New Orleans, where Adam Cole became the inaugural champion.

The championship was first introduced March 28 of NXT when general manager William Regal announced a ladder match at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans to determine the inaugural champion. Later that night, EC3, Killian Dain, Adam Cole, Ricochet, Lars Sullivan, and Velveteen Dream were announced as the participants in the match.

The design of the belt was unveiled by Triple H on April 3, 2018. Featuring three gold plates on a thick brown leather strap, the rounded center plate features a globe that only shows the continent of North America. The banner above the globe reads “North American” and above the banner is the NXT logo. The lower banner at the bottom of the globe reads “Champion”. The two sideplates feature a removable center section which can be customized with the champion’s logos; the default sideplates vertically read NXT on a globe, making it WWE’s first-ever secondary title to feature removable side plates.
