In professional wrestling, championships are competed for in scripted storylines by a promotion company's roster of contracted wrestlers.[1] Impact Wrestling is a Nashville, Tennessee-based professional wrestling company. The promotion was founded in 2002. In the company's 16-year history, thirteen different unique championships have been operated and contended for. These titles consisted of divisional, special stipulations, and weight-class championships. Of these titles, three have been retired. The following is a compilation of the company's former championships that were once active and contended for by its roster.
