• •The TNA World Heavyweight Championship debuted on May 14, 2007, when TNA parted ways with the NWA and created its own world title, with Kurt Angle as its inaugural champion.
• •The belt's center plate featured an eagle with wings extended, the word 'World' arced above its head, and 'Heavyweight Wrestling' across its chest, flanked by four globe-and-TNA-logo side plates — the design active throughout 2008.
• •During the 2007–2010 era of this design, the title was held by prominent stars including Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe, and AJ Styles, with Angle going on to record the most reigns in the championship's history.
• •This original eagle design remained in use until November 2010, when champion Jeff Hardy replaced it with his custom 'Immortal' belt, making the 2007–2010 run the first and longest-lasting design of the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.
