Current Champion
Súper Nova is the current champion. He defeated El Hijo de Rey Misterio II and Lizmark Jr. on May 19, 2013 in El Centenario Salon of Blackfoot, Idaho. The title was vacate.
History of Championship
Connection with NWA
The NWA World Light Heavyweight Championship was created in the early 1950s. In it's first years, it was a United States title, but was given to EMLL in 1958, and has remained mostly in Mexico for it's lifespan. The NWA name and the long existence of the belt give it a lot of credibility in Mexico, but it's no different from other modern championships in it's many breaks between defenses.
The EMLL promotion broke from the NWA when it renamed itself CMLL in 1991 and declared new world championships for every division. CMLL appeared to plan on unifying the NWA championships, but the unification matches never took place. The NWA Light Heavyweight championship, with over thirty years of history as a major championship in Mexico, was continued to be treated as a major championship of another organization. Despite the NWA itself imploding and restarting multiple times, CMLL continued to act as if there was still an outside NWA governing body sanctioning this championship. CMLL referees would wear shirts with NWA logos for the title matches, as 'proof' of the championship's legitimacy.
In the late 2000, the current version of the NWA began to request CMLL return to this championship and the other related NWA titles. The NWA pointed out CMLL had not been a dues paying member of the NWA for decades. As a promotion, CMLL ignored the requests. When asked, the individual champions declared they'd only give up the belts if they lost them in the ring. The NWA became more insistent on the return of the belts when Blue Demon Jr. joined to start the NWA Mexico promotion. Demon first suggested matches between the CMLL NWA champions and his groups of wrestlers, then repeatedly demanded the belts be handed over. Since Demon was making these claims in Mexico directly, these claims got higher levels of attention.
Finally, on August 12, 2010, CMLL announced a change with the NWA group of championships. The current physical title belts were all retired, replaced by newly belts with a different design. The old belts are now part of CMLL's mobile museum, though copies of them have turned up elsewhere.
CMLL referred to the new championships as the CMLL Historic Championships and said the former NWA champions would be the first champions of the new belts. Outside not getting the physical belt back, that appeared to satisfy the NWA's complaints. However, since within weeks of that press conference, CMLL had changed course. The championships were referred to as NWA World Historic Championships, angering the NWA again.

Gori Guerrero branch
Gori Guerrero walked out of EMLL while champion in 1962. EMLL eventually tried to have the NWA strip Guerrero of this championship, but the alliance refused until 1967. Guerrero would occasionally show the belt in interviews and insist the NWA's official record book continued to list him as champion. He is known to defend the championship as late as 1975, where he actually lost it to Dory Dixon.

Dory Dixon would lose in a title match on August 10th, merging this with the other disputed branch.
Ray Mendoza branch
Ray Mendoza suffered an injury (or maybe the latest in a series) in mid-1974. EMLL quickly used this as a pretense to appeal to the NWA to strip Mendoza of the championship, perhaps to prevent him from leaving with a belt as Rene Guajardo had decided to do at that time. It didn't work; Mendoza kept the title (or a version of it) and defended it when he returned in 1975.
This championship was not recognized by the NWA, though it was the same physical belt. It was generally referred to as the "World Light Heavyweight Championship", with abbreviations including AIL, AIP and IWA occasionally affixed to it.

The championship was quietly dropped upon the announcement of the UWA World Light Heavyweight Championship. Ray Mendoza became the first champion, implicitly continuing the legacy of this championship.
