The NXT Championship is a professional wrestling championship owned and primarily contested in WWE's developmental promotion, NXT. The championship is generally contested in professional wrestling matches, in which participants execute worked finishes, and is viewed as NXT's top championship.

History

The championship was first introduced on the August 1, 2012 edition of NXT when NXT Commissioner Dusty Rhodes announced a "Gold Rush" tournament, featuring four developmental roster NXT Superstars and four main roster WWE Superstars competing to be crowned as the inaugural NXT Champion in a knockout system format, replacing the FCW Florida Heavyweight Championship that was retired in the same month after merger of FCW. The first NXT Champion was crowned on July 26, 2012, with Seth Rollins defeating Jinder Mahal in the tournament finals.[1][2]
