Titles vacated in late 2008. WSL goes out of business on February 21, 2009 but the titles continued to exist. A tournament to fill the titles was to be held in Statesville, North Carolina on March 6, 2009; there is no indication that the tournament was ever held. A match to fill the titles was scheduled for Sheridan, Colorado on May 29, 2009 but that match was not held when the venue cancelled the event over trademark violations. The championships were retired in late 2009, though Team Vision continued to defend a version of the titles until 2012.
