Active Advance Pro Wrestling Openweight Championship#Title history

In April 2019, the promotion (previously named Kaientai Dojo) announced that they were rebranding as Active Advance Pro Wrestling (2AW). This came as the company attempted to rebrand itself after the Taka Michinoku scandal, also changing its colors to black and white. That same night, young wrestler Ayato Yoshida won the Strongest-K Championship, symbolically leading the company into the future. He retired the title as the new 2AW Openweight Championship was created to replace it.{{Cite web|url=http://www.k-dojo.co.jp/results/20190413korakuen/|title=KAIENTAI DOJO 17周年記念大会 GRAND SLAM in 後楽園ホール {{!}} KAIENTAI DOJO|website=www.k-dojo.co.jp|access-date=2019-04-14}}

There have been a total of eleven reigns shared between eight different champions. Shu Asakawa was the inaugural champion. Ayato Yoshida holds the record for the longest reign with 298 days and also for the most individual reigns with three and also for the most cumulated successful defenses with twelve. The current champion is Yoshida himself who defeated Taishi Takizawa 2AW Grand Slam In TKP Garden City in Chiba, Japan.
