Current Champion

The WWA championships are unregulated, which leads to irregularities. The current active champions are:

Olimpico: Won a match over Angel Blanco Jr. for the supposedly vacant championship although Mistico was never announced as vacating the belt. It is entirely possible this will end up being a new branch. Claimed to never actually receive a belt after the match.

Difunto II: Won a mask vs title match over Tigre Universitario at some point between September and October of 2008.

History of Championship

Hopefully this will clear up why there are two belts.

According to La Frontera, a Tijuana newspaper, in 2001, Solar I was the last person seen with the WWA World Middlewight Title. He took the belt with him and its assumed he dropped it to Blue Panther some time in late 2001, as Panther was seen the defending the title in early 2002.

In 2003, Promociones Mora started running TV Tapings for a new televised lucha libre show to air in Tijuana, and then abroad. Before the tapings in another article in La Frontera, they spoke of Raging Dawg winning the World Middleweight Title beforehand in Southern California, so most likely it was awarded it to him and thats why he was defending it agaisnt Nicho in June of 2003.

So rather than get the original belt back from Blue Panther, they just decided to create a new version of the middleweight title. Either they just wanted a fresh start, or Panther was holding up the belt for money or for other reasons, we may not now. This is supported by the fact that along with a new middlewight belt, they also created a new set of tag team titles and even had a tournament for those new belts.
