The GCW Ultraviolent Championship is a professional wrestling hardcore championship created and promoted by the American promotion Game Changer Wrestling (GCW). Until January 19, 2025, it was one of the two hardcore championships promoted by the promotion, alongside the GCW Extreme Championship, until both titles was unified, retiring the second one. The title can be won by both male and female wrestlers.[1]

Title history

Like most professional wrestling championships, the title is won as a result of a scripted match. Championship matches typically occur on GCW events, though at least one championship match has been promoted by Big Japan Pro Wrestling (BJW).

There have been a total of thirteen reigns shared between nine different champions plus one vacancy. The current champion is Otis Cogar, who is in his second reign. He won the title by defeating defending champion Matt Tremont, Anakin Murphy, Conor Claxton, Dr. Redacted, Gabby Forza, Jamesen Shook, Jeffrey John, Jimmy Lloyd, Lil Sicko, Lucky 13, Masashi Takeda, and Vipress in a Cage of Survival match at Cage of Survival 5 in Atlantic City, New Jersey on June 7, 2026.
