The first champion was crowned on May 25, 2025 during DPCW's Mutual Combat event at the Big'z Burger Joint in San Antonio, Texas as part of a tournament to determine the champion with Izzy James defeating Marovik in the final round.[7] On July 9, 2026, it was announced that the promotion would be part of the MissionsCon pop culture convention on July 19, 2026 at the Nelson W.
