CMLL World Welterweight Championship

Current Champion

As of March 20, 2009 Negro Casas is the CMLL World Welterweight Champion having won the title at the "Homenaje a Dos Leyendas" show.

History of Championship

Super Delfin held a claim on this title from 96/03/15 till 96/06/22. Pantera had left CMLL to go to AAA before a tour of Japan. During the tour, he fought Super Delfin for the belt in Osaka, and lost. CMLL did not recoginize a title change, deciding instead that Pantera had been stripped off the championship before the title match happened. After Mascara Magica won the vacant title in a tournament, he fought Super Delfin in Naruko, Japan on 96/06/22, winning the match and ending the dispute. Delfin would go onto win the belt three years later, but is only considered to have one title reign.

Mephisto was the 21st champion, beating Satanico as a continuation of their post-breakup rivalry. Mephisto's championship reign was mostly unnoteworthy, as he and partner/fellow singles champ Averno were presented more often as a tag team or foils for Mistico than as championships on their own.
