AAA Mega Championship


The AAA Mega Championship is a professional wrestling world heavyweight championship in the Mexican Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide promotion. Known officially in Spanish as the Mega Campeonato AAA, it is sometimes referred to in the English-language press as the "AAA World Heavyweight Championship". The title is the top championship of the AAA promotion. The current champion is Kenny Omega, who is in his first reign.
The title was established in 2007 via a single elimination tournament billed as the "Torneo Campeón de Campeones", or Champion of Champions Tournament, which effectively unified the International Wrestling Council World Heavyweight Championship, the Grand Prix Championship Wrestling SUPER-X Monster Championship, the Mexican National Heavyweight Championship, and the Universal Wrestling Association World Light Heavyweight Championship. The tournament field included the four reigning champions of the aforementioned titles as well as the number one contender to each championship. El Mesías, who entered the tournament as the IWC World Heavyweight Champion, became the inaugural AAA Mega Champion upon defeating the UWA World Light Heavyweight Champion entrant Chessman in the final round.
El Texano Jr.'s first reign is the longest in history at 735 days. The shortest reigning champion was Jeff Jarrett, who held the title for 83 days. El Mesías has held the title the most, with four reigns. Overall, there have been 18 reigns shared among 11 wrestlers, with two vacancies. As it is a professional wrestling championship, it is won not by actual competition, but by a scripted ending to a match.

Inaugural Championship Tournament bracket

Overall, there have been 18 AAA Mega Championship reigns and 11 total champions, and the title has been vacated twice. The inaugural champion was El Mesías, who defeated Chessman in the final of an eight-man tournament at the Verano de Escándalo event on September 16, 2007, to become champion. El Texano Jr. has the longest reign as champion with his first reign, from December 2, 2012, to December 7, 2014, lasting 735 days and gave the title World status when he defended it in the Mexico. Jeff Jarrett currently has the shortest reign at 83 days. El Mesías holds the record for the most reigns, with four.
In 2011, the then-AAA Mega Champion and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling founder Jeff Jarrett appeared with a redesigned version of the title belt on TNA programming. TNA used the Mega Championship belt on their programming, but due to Spike TV, then TNA's broadcaster, not allowing TNA to refer to AAA by name, a silver hexagonal plate was used to cover the AAA faceplate. While Jarrett appeared in TNA, the title was referred to as the "Mexican Heavyweight Championship". On April 21, 2013, the title was defended outside AAA for the first time at Puerto Rico's World Wrestling League. In March 2015, the AAA Mega Champion El Patrón Alberto defended the championship in Lucha Underground, made possible through AAA's joint ownership of Lucha Underground.
Kenny Omega is the current champion in his first reign. He defeated Fénix at Héroes Inmortales XIII on October 19, 2019, in Orizaba, Veracruz, Mexico. Since winning the title, Omega has also defended it in All Elite Wrestling - his home promotion - via a partnership between AAA and AEW.
