The High Speed Championship is a singles championship in Stardom. Originally known as the NEO High Speed Championship, it was created in 2009 in the now-defunct NEO promotion and is intended for fast, high-flying wrestlers. In November 2010, Stardom acquired the rights to the title effective at the start of 2011, and it officially was brought into the promotion in July 2011 after Natsuki*Taiyo won the title from JWP wrestler Leon. It has been a Stardom title ever since.
As of 7/28/2024 there have been 27 High Speed Champions. This includes the 4 champions in the NEO era before Stardom acquired the championship following NEO closing.
