After SMW closed in Tennessee, it continued for a few months as part of the USWA, as part of an invasion angle.

the Beat the Champ tv title and US Junior titles were no longer recognized by SMW at the time it folded. The US Jr. title only had a brief run with SMW, in late 1993. The Beat the Champ title lasted from Jan 93 to I believe the Spring of 95, but wasn't around in the final months of SMW.
