Defeated Carmelo Hayes, Von Wagner, Nathan Frazer, and Oro Mensah in a Five-Man Ladder Match for the vacant title.
Introduced during the March 7, 2018 tapings of NXT (aired March 28), the title was established as the secondary championship for NXT, which at the time was still regarded as a developmental territory for WWE. The inaugural champion was Adam Cole. Around this time, NXT was in the midst of establishing itself as WWE's third major brand, which became official in September 2019 when NXT was moved to the USA Network.
The title is distinct from the WWF North American Heavyweight Championship, as it does not carry the lineage of the former title, which was contested from 1979โ1980.
