The '''XPW King of the Deathmatch Championship'''
was one of [[Xtreme Pro Wrestling]]'s championships. Originally, the championship existed as a trophy that was at stake in the first-ever ''Baptized in Blood'' event, which featured a Japanese-style 8-Man King of the Deathmatch tournament.

==Background==
After [[William Welch|The Messiah]] defeated Supreme for the championship, an actual title belt for the championship would later appear and debut at XPW's ''Baptized in Blood 2''. [[William Welch|The Messiah]] would wind up as the longest reigning champion, holding onto the title for nearly a year, and only being stripped of the title after he was fired from XPW.
The championship was highly contested while XPW was based in the West Coast, as matches would often consist of a plethora of Barbed-Wire, Beds of Nails, Beds of Thumbtacks, Light Bulbs and (occasionally) exploding barbed-wire devices.
==Baptized in Blood 2000==
The title was first awarded to the winner of an [[Professional wrestling tournament|8-Man Single Elimination Tournament]], held at XPW Baptized in Blood on June 20, 2000.
