The Defiant Internet Championship was a British professional wrestling championship which was originally unveiled as the WCPW Internet Championship by then WCPW General Manager Adam Pacitti.
The initial champion was crowned in a match between El Ligero, Travis Banks and Alberto El Patrón at WCPW Refuse To Lose in a triple threat match which was won by El Ligero. The last champion is Joe Hendry, who is the seventh Champion in his first reign.
What makes the Defiant's Internet Championship distinct, is that matches fought for the title will always be free to watch on Defiant's YouTube Channel. This idea was proposed by Eric Bischoff, who also came up with the idea for another championship. It is the secondary title in WCPW / Defiant Wrestling.
