Unveiled on September 10, 2020, as the NXT UK Heritage Cup, it was originally established as a secondary championship for the NXT UK brand, which was a sister brand of NXT based in the United Kingdom. The inaugural champion was A-Kid. At Worlds Collide on September 4, 2022, all other NXT UK championships were unified into their respective NXT championship counterparts due to the closure of NXT UK. The Heritage Cup, however, was the only championship from either brand that was not contested at the event. The title then saw months of inactivity until April 4, 2023 when it was transferred to NXT .
