Current Champions

This championship is current vacant, inactive, and it's not clear which promotion is in possession of the title belt.

History of Championship

The NWA World Welterweight Championship is nominally a Mexico based championship, having actually been created before the formation of the NWA (and EMLL joining the NWA.)

The championship appeared to be forgetten after it was vacated in 1992. In 1997, it was filled, but soon changed hands multiple times in Japan, en route to becoming part of the J-Crown Octuple Junior Championship. After the J-Crown broke up, the championship ended up as a possesion of various Ultimo Dragon promotions and off-shoots. It was widly reported Dragon purchased the NWA World Middleweight Championship from CMLL around this period, so the same may be true with this title.
