The FTW ("Fuck the World") Championship is a men's professional wrestling world heavyweight championship currently utilized in the American promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW). It is presented as an "outlaw" or "renegade" title that is unsanctioned by officials in-storyline. The current champion is Chris Jericho, who is in his first reign. He won the title by defeating Hook in an FTW Rules match at Dynasty in St. Louis, Missouri on April 21, 2024.
The title was originally created by its inaugural holder Taz in the former Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) promotion in 1998, and it was abandoned in 1999 after being unified with the ECW World Heavyweight Championship. It remained inactive for 21 years until being re-established by Taz in AEW in 2020. In both ECW and AEW, the FTW Championship was introduced under similar circumstances: each company's respective world champions were unable to defend their respective titles due to injury/illness; in ECW, it was against Taz himself, while in AEW, it was against Taz's client Brian Cage.
