The tournament field included the four reigning champions of the aforementioned titles and the number one contender to each championship. IWC World Heavyweight Champion El Mesías became the first AAA Mega Champion upon defeating UWA World Light Heavyweight Champion Chessman in the final round.^[6]

Reigns

Current champion Dominik Mysterio

Overall, there have been 22 AAA Mega Championship reigns and 13 total champions, and the title has been vacated four times. The inaugural champion was El Mesías, who defeated Chessman in the final of an eight-man tournament at the Verano de Escándalo event on September 16, 2007, to become champion. El Texano Jr.'s first reign as champion gave the title world status when he defended it in Mexico. El Hijo del Vikingo had the longest reign at 833 days. Jeff Jarrett had the shortest reign at 83 days. El Mesías holds the record for the most reigns with four. El Texano Jr., Fénix, Kenny Omega, and El Hijo Del Vikingo are the only four wrestlers to have held the title for a full consecutive year.

In 2011, the then-AAA Mega Champion and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) founder Jeff Jarrett appeared with a redesigned version of the title belt on TNA programming. TNA used the Mega Championship belt on their programming, but due to Spike TV, then TNA's broadcaster, not allowing TNA to refer to AAA by name, a silver hexagonal plate was used to cover the AAA faceplate.^[8] While Jarrett appeared in TNA, the title was referred to as the "Mexican Heavyweight Championship".^[9] On April 21, 2013, the title was defended outside AAA for the first time at Puerto Rico's World Wrestling League (WWL).^[10] In March 2015, the AAA Mega Champion El Patrón Alberto defended the championship in Lucha Underground, made possible through AAA's joint ownership of Lucha Underground.^[11][12]

The title is currently held by Dominik Mysterio, who is in his first reign. He defeated El Hijo del Vikingo at the Cox Pavilion at the Thomas & Mack Center on September 12, 2025, in Paradise, Nevada to win the title.
