History of Championship

The AAA World Heavyweight Championship was created to be the one grand championship in AAA. It's not the first attempt the promotion and people around it have tried with the concept: the IWC World Heavyweight Championship kinda had this purpose, while the AAA Campeón de Campeones Championship more explicitly tried to fill that void. Both belts failed, and became a part of the collection of miscellaneous championships held by AAA wrestlers. The goal of the initial tournament was to take those other titles out of play.

An 8 man tournament was held to determine the first champion. The rules, and structure, of the tournament appeared to change as the tournament was taking progress. The promotion seemed to, after the fact in some cases, stipulate that all tournament matches involving champions were also title matches were possible, causing some wrestlers to pick up book keeping title changes as things progressed.

The final match between Chessman and Mesias had hardcore match elements, as typical for AAA main event matches in this era. Mesias was injured when a planned ladder dive went short. Cibernetico soon involved in himself in the match, and the referee awarded the match and the title to Mesias. Mesias was expected to win the championship, but the finish might have been changed due to the injury. Mesias was carried to medical help after the match.

Cibernetico had a pre-existing rivalry with Mesias, and was clearly set up as the first feud for the title, despite Cibernetico being eliminated earlier in the tournament (due to rudo tricks.) Cibernetico got his first shot at the title at 2007's Guerra de Titanes, with Zorro added to the match as Mesias began to have a breakup with the rest of his Foreign Legion partners. Mesias retained the title on this occasion with help from La Secta, but Cibernetico's partners Los Hellbrothers were able to stop them in the Monterrey rematch, and Cibernetico became the second champion.

After defeating Zorro, who won the Rey de Reyes and also counted on the Foreign Legion's in a failed attempt to win the title, Cibernetico next fought off a challenge from long time ally Chessman. Chessman won a #1 contenders rumble style battle royal to earn the spot. Chessman already was upset about Cibernetico getting the glory while Chessman took the punishment, and their status as champion and top contender only intensified things. After a few false starts, Chessman turned on his friend, but was unable to beat him.

Cibernetico never lost the championship to end his first reign. Instead, he vacated the title on October 24, 2008 at Beisbol Beto Avila, Veracruz after a confrontation between champion with Konnan, whose Foreign Legion team had just won a cage match, making Konnan the man in charge of AAA. Cibernetico declared his contract was with "Dorian" (though he meant Joaquin Roldan and family) and not with AAA, so he was no longer a part of AAA as long as Konnan was in charge. Cibernetico handed his title away, and fulfilled scheduled dates before leaving the company.

Instead of another tournament, now tecnico Mesias and Zorro meant as top contenders for the championship. Mesias defeated Chessman in a cage match at 2009's Rey de Reyes to retain the championsip, but would lose to then current UWA World Heavyweight Champion Dr. Wagner Jr. in a match with only the AAA title on the line at TripleMania 17.

At 13/06/09, in Palacio de los Deportes, Mexico City, Mexico,Dr. Wagner Jr. defeat Mesias in a historical match, and becomes AAA World Heavyweight Champion.
