In 2021, Fernando Tonos and Manny Ferno created a group known as La Alianza IWE with the intention of completing a hostile takeover on behalf of International Wrestling Entertainment.

On November 19, 2022, John Hawking defeated Mr. Big to unify both titles, reintroducing the name "IWA Undisputed World (Heavyweight) Championship".

On December 15, 2007, Scott Hall failed to attend a titular defense which led to the fictional local boxing and wrestling commission's decision to vacate the WWC Universal Heavyweight Championship and award it to the number one contender who at the moment was Miguel "Biggie Size" Maldonado.

[10] The next titleholder to challenge for the belt was Jerry Lynn, Ring of Honor's World Champion, who unsuccessfully competed against Bravo and Chicano in a three-way match.

On May 29, 2009, Bravo defended the IWA and DWE championships in Panama, defeating El Cuervo as part of a Revolution X-Treme Wrestling card.

This event launched a storyline between the IWA and the Extreme Wrestling Organization, the largest independent company and de facto third main promotion in Puerto Rico.

The interim General Manager went on to proclaim himself champion, issuing an open challenge which was accepted by EWO's first contender, a masked wrestler known only as "Bonecrusher", who won it Ina squash match.

In an interview published on October 22, 2015, wrestling journalist Joel Torres reunited Ricky Banderas with the belt, with the wrestler reminiscing about winning it in Juicio Final 2001 and emphasized on the history that the title had.

The title was formally reactivated on April 20, 2018, initially scheduled to be contested in a charity card held in benefit of Gustavo Rodríguez, a former member of the IWA's ring crew and Hardcore Champion.

[18] Hours later, the return of the IWA was teased as part of World Wrestling League's (up to that point the promotion's spiritual successor) version of Juicio Final.

[19] However, internal differences within the interpromotional event lead to the cancellation of the Luchando por Gustavo titular match the following day, leaving the title vacant.

[22] This led to Director of Talent Relations, Dennis Rivera, granting the Puro Macho stable leader, Manny Ferno, the opportunity to elect only one of its members for a place in the titular match (intending to create division in retribution for the WWL feud).

[22] The latter would meet with Mr. Big, who had served a mercenary role for the faction and requested the reassurance that he would not be joining his old IWA team of Los Rabiosos, only to receive a demand for a title shot in exchange for allegiance.

Savio Vega was noted to be skeptical of allowing Puro Macho a chance to gather influence within the promotion, but was reassured by Rivera that the ambitions would create irreparable damage.

Meanwhile, members of Puro Macho Electro and Khriz "The Chosen" held a meeting in which the former noted his interest in the accolade, later informing Ferno of this stance.

[23] After CWA World Heavyweight Champion Noel Rodríguez made an appearance and issued a challenge at Vendetta, Electro had a defense against him in that promotion's Sabotaje event.

The piece was crafted and designed by Reggie Parks, who had manufactured titles for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now known as WWE) and other international companies.

Besides retouching the colors, reinstating the Italian flag and restoring the black to "IWA" throughout, the process involved adding gold to the mantling of the plates and painting their studs blue.

Meanwhile, the original belt was repurposed as the IWE World Heavyweight Championship with a sticker of the stable’s logo being placed over the "IWA" in the crown of the center plate.
