Trivia
The WCW Light Heavyweight Championship is recognized by WWE in the lineage of the Cruiserweight Championship.
The WWF (now known as WWE) used its equivalent belt, the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship, starting in 1997. In 2001, during the Invasion angle, X-Pac held both titles at once, but contrary to some reports did not unify them. Both belts were seen as separate and defended as such. While holding both belts, X-Pac lost and later regained the Light Heavyweight Championship in matches against Tajiri. After losing the Cruiserweight Championship to Billy Kidman, he was injured and taken off television. During his absence, the WCW Cruiserweight Championship became known as the WWF Cruiserweight Championship (and later, the WWE Cruiserweight Championship). X-Pac returned to television without the Light Heavyweight Championship and it was assumed to have been retired or absorbed into the Cruiserweight Championship. The Cruiserweight Championship was the only title to be recognized as a WWE championship while having another promotion's logo (WCW) visibly on it. The belt was later replaced with a new design in the middle of 2002.
