The Impact Grand Championship is a professional wrestling championship owned by Global Force Wrestling (GFW), formerly known as Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA).
The title was introduced at the August 13, 2016 tapings of TNA's television program Impact Wrestling, after TNA President Billy Corgan announced that the TNA King of the Mountain Championship would be deactivated and retired in favor for the new championship. Corgan also announced an eight-man single elimination tournament that would feature new rules that would apply to the title. The new rules would be similar to how bouts were contested in professional wrestling in Europe in which each match would consist of three timed rounds, with a team of judges to determine the outcome based on points, if there is no winner via pin or submission within the time limit. The final match of the tournament took place at Bound for Glory on October 2, with Aron Rex becoming the inaugural champion by defeating Eddie Edwards (replacement for the legitimately injured Drew Galloway).
As of July 28, 2017, there have four reigns between three different wrestlers. Aron Rex became the inaugural champion by defeating Eddie Edwards in the tournament final at 2016's Bound for Glory on October 2. Moose holds the most reigns with two, with his second reign being the longest at 174 days, while Drew Galloway's first reign is the shortest at five days.
Ethan Carter III is the current champion in his first reign. He defeated Moose on GFW Impact! on July 5, 2017 (aired on August 3).
