  3. The exact date the championship is not documented, which puts the title reign at between 1 day and 21 days.
  4. The exact date the championship was won has not been documented, putting their reign between 5 and 25 days.
  5. The exact date the championship was abandoned has not been documented, which means the title reign lasted between 57 and 86 days.
