For the first time in nearly 40 years, the NWF World Championship was on the line again which took place on May 31st, 2025 at The Lions Den Pro Wrestling Dojo located in Belfast, Northern Ireland. In the long tradition of the NWF, the matchup for the vacant title was fought between two local 17-year-old rising young stars of Northern Ireland Professional Wrestling, where The Canary Kid defeated Ben Nelson featuring special guest referee and five-time former NWF World Champion, Crusher Crossen.

This is the dawn of a new era for the NWF title as the original World Championship of Indie Wrestling from the 1980s is now being born again in Europe. As a traveling championship, what the future will bring with this new era only time will tell, but it sure sounds exciting to say the least.
