At this point, the USWA Unified World Heavyweight Championship was not unified with either the AWA or World Class World Heavyweight Championships consequently, the influential Pro Wrestling Illustrated outright refused to recognise the Unified championship as a separate title in its own right. Regardless, the USWA continues to recognize the USWA Unified World Heavyweight Championship.
The WCWA World Heavyweight Championship was held up in April 1989.
The CWA Championship Committee reversed the decision the following week, returning the title to Lawler On January 10, 1989, Dutch Mantell appeared to defeat Lawler to win the title after guest referee Ricky Morton (who had been paid off by Mantell) helped Mantell win by knocking Lawler's feet off the ropes in Mantell's pinfall attempt. Lawler continues to be recognized as the USWA Unified World Heavyweight Champion by the USWA. In January 1989, he was stripped of the AWA title by the AWA, ending the AWA title's connection with the USWA Unified World Heavyweight title. This results in the USWA Unified World Heavyweight Championship being formed. Lawler, the reigning AWA World Heavyweight Champion, defeated Kerry Von Erich to win the WCWA World Heavyweight Championship. The title was also contested in a non-televised match prior to the World Wrestling Federation's King of the Ring event in 1993. However, the AWA withdrew its recognition of the championship shortly after the unification match when Lawler was stripped of the AWA world title. The title was primarily recognized by and defended in the United States Wrestling Association until 1997, when the company ceased operations. The title was unified on December 13, 1988, when AWA World Champion Jerry Lawler defeated WCWA World Champion Kerry Von Erich in a unification match.
