The '''Mexican National Trios Championship''' (''Campeonato Nacional de Tríos'' in [[Spanish language|Spanish]]) is a three-man [[tag team]] [[professional wrestling]] [[championship (professional wrestling)|championship]], sanctioned by the "Comisión de Box y Lucha Libre Mexico D.F." (''Mexico City Boxing and Wrestling [[Commissioner#Sports|Commission]]''), which oversees all matches where the championship is defended. Since its creation in 1985 the championship has been promoted by several major Mexican wrestling promotions, [[Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre]] (EMLL), [[Asistencia Asesoría y Administración]] (AAA) and is currently promoted by [[Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre]] (CMLL, formerly EMLL). The change from promotion to promotion was approved by the commission if the trios champions left one promotion to work for the other. As it is a professional wrestling championship, it is not won or lost competitively, but instead by the decision of the [[Booker (professional wrestling)|bookers]] of a wrestling promotion. The title is awarded to a team after the team "wins" a match to maintain the illusion that professional wrestling is a competitive sport. All title matches take place under [[Professional wrestling match types#Series variations|two-out-of-three falls]] rules.

In the early 1980s the [[Professional wrestling tag team match types#Trios rules (Relevos Australianos)|six-man tag team match]] became very popular in Mexico, to the point where that match format is the most prevalent format in ''[[Lucha Libre]]'' today. The [[Universal Wrestling Association]] created the [[UWA World Trios Championship]] in 1984 and the Boxing and Wrestling Commission created the Mexican National Trios Championship in 1985, making it only the second Trios championship in Mexico. Control of the championship was given to EMLL, the UWA's main rival at the time, with the commission retaining oversight and approval of the championship matches. In 1993 then champions ''[[Los Infernales]]'' ("The Infernal Ones"; [[MS-1 (wrestler)|MS-1]], [[Pirata Morgan]], and [[El Satánico]]) left EMLL to join AAA, taking the trios championship with them after approval by the commission. In the late 1990s the championship was not promoted on a regular basis by AAA and appeared inactive until the champions, [[Blue Panther]], [[Fuerza Guerrera]], and [[El Signo]], joined CMLL in 2001 and lost the championship to a CMLL team. From that point forward the championship has been controlled by CMLL once more.

The current Mexican National Trios Champions are ''Los Viajeros Del Espacios'' ([[Futuro (wrestler)|Futuro]], [[Hombre Bala Jr.]] and [[Max Star]]), who are in their first reign as a team and individually. They defeated ''Los Indestructibles'' (Apolcalipsis, Cholo and [[Disturbio]]) at ''CMLL Martes De Arena Mexico'' on July 9, 2024 in [[Mexico City, Mexico]]; they are the 46th overall champions. ''Los Reyes de la Atlantida'' hold the record for most reigns as a team, with three reigns in total, while Atlantis, Delta and [[Volador Jr.]] holds the individual record with four reigns each.

[[File:psicosis.jpg|thumb|right|[[Nicho el Millonario]], one third of the 22nd Mexican National Trios Champion along with [[Halloween (wrestler)|Halloween]] and [[Leonardo Carrera|Damián 666]]|alt=Wrestler Nicho el Millonario posing on the ring ropes prior to a match.]]
With the emergence of trios ([[tag team]]s consisting of three people) such as ''[[Los Misioneros de la Muerte]]'', ''Los Brazos'' and more, the [[Professional wrestling tag team match types#Trios rules (Relevos Australianos)|six-man tag team match]] became increasingly popular in the early 1980s. Its popularity led to the trios format becoming the most prevalent match format in ''[[Lucha libre]]'' to this day.<ref name="Mondo">{{cite book | author= Madigan, Dan | title= Mondo Lucha a Go Go: the bizarre & honorable world of wild Mexican wrestling | publisher= HarperCollins Publishers | year= 2007 | chapter = "Okay... what is Lucha Libre?" | page = 32 | quote=most shows feature several six-man, or "trios" matches | isbn=978-0-06-085583-3|location=New York, New York}}</ref> The popularity led to the creation of the first trios championship in Mexico when the [[Universal Wrestling Association]] (UWA) created the [[UWA World Trios Championship]] in 1984.<ref name=UWAWLBook>{{cite book |author=Royal Duncan & Gary Will |title=Wrestling Title Histories |publisher=Archeus Communications |chapter = MEXICO: Universal Wrestling Federation Welterweight Title |page = 398 |year= 2000 |isbn=0-9698161-5-4}}</ref> The Mexican National Trios Championship was created in 1985,<ref name=MexTriosBook>{{cite book|author=Royal Duncan and Gary Will|title=Wrestling Title Histories|publisher=Archeus Communications|chapter=MEXICO: National Trios Title|page=393|year=2000|isbn=0-9698161-5-4}}</ref><ref name=MexTriosWeb>{{cite web|url=http://www.wrestling-titles.com/mexico/mex-6.html|title=Comision de Box y Lucha Libre Mexico D.F.

The commission granted EMLL the rights to promote the championship, which meant that CMLL had control over the everyday use of the championship, determining which storylines the title were being used in, who were allowed to challenge for the title and how to use it in a public relations sense. The Commission would oversee the rule and approves any championship change that EMLL proposed.<ref name=MexTriosBook/>

The finals of the tournament to crown the first champions saw ''[[Los Infernales]]'' ("The Infernal Ones"; the team of [[MS-1 (wrestler)|MS-1]], [[Pirata Morgan]], and [[El Satánico]]) defeat ''Los Brazos'' ("The Arms"; [[El Brazo]], [[Brazo de Oro (wrestler)|Brazo de Oro]], and [[Brazo de Plata]]) to become the first champions.<ref name=MexTriosBook/> ''Los Brazos'' would win the championship 9&nbsp;months later but only hold them for a short while.

The then-reigning champions [[Cien Caras]], [[Máscara Año 2000]], and [[Universo 2000]] left CMLL to join AAA and brought the Mexican National Trios Championship with them as it was not a CMLL owned title. The Commission granted AAA the right to control the title from 1992 on, later on when AAA began working with Promotora Mexicana de Lucha Libre (PROMELL) both promotions were allowed used the Trios title by the commission. In 1996 AAA and PROMELL stopped working together and the title was vacated. PROMELL was granted the right to promote the title from that point on and held a tournament to crown new champions. [[Blue Panther]], [[Fuerza Guerrera]], and [[El Signo]] won the tournament and would go on to hold the titles for 1,728&nbsp;days, although for the majority of the time the three did not team up and the Trios championship was inactive.<ref name=MexTriosBook/> In 2001 the trio worked a couple of matches for CMLL, just long enough for them to lose the championship to [[Mr. Niebla]], [[Olímpico]], and [[Ephesto|Safari]], bringing the championship back under CMLL's control, where it has remained ever since.<ref name=MexTriosCage>{{cite web | url=https://www.cagematch.net//?id=5&nr=532 | title=Mexican National Trios Championship | work=CageMatch | access-date=June 8, 2017}}</ref>

On June 13, 2003 a championship match between champions ''La Familia de Tijuana'' ([[Nicho el Millonario]], [[Damián 666]], and [[Halloween (wrestler)|Halloween]]) and ''Los Nuevo Infernales'' (Sátanico, [[Averno (wrestler)|Averno]], and [[Mephisto (wrestler)|Mephisto]]), ended with ''La Familia'' being disqualified.

==Rules==
The title is a "National" title which means that non-Mexican citizens are prohibited from challenging or holding the championship. As it is a professional wrestling championship, it is not won legitimately; it is instead won via a scripted ending to a match.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/pro-wrestling.htm |title=How Pro Wrestling Works |author=Ed Grabianowski |publisher=How Stuff Works |access-date=April 5, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131129050844/http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/pro-wrestling.htm |archive-date=November 29, 2013 }}</ref> The fact that the championship is a "trios" championship means that it is restricted to [[Tag teams]] with three members. The championship is generally not allowed to be defended in any other type of match than a regular match, as is the case for all the Mexican National titles. The commission has been inconsistent on enforcing the rules, in one case they stripped [[Psicosis II|Psicosis]] of the [[Mexican National Middleweight Championship]] for defending it in a [[Hardcore wrestling|hardcore match]], in another case they allowed the [[Mexican National Heavyweight Championship]] to change hands in a [[Steel cage match]].<ref name="Trip14">{{cite web | url = http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/mexico/aaa/triple.html#xiv| title = Asistencia Asesoria y Administracion TripleMania | access-date = 2009-02-19| publisher = ProWrestlingHistory.com}}</ref> On occasion single fall title matches have taken place, for example when promoting CMLL title matches in Japan, conforming to the traditions of the local promotion.{{efn|An example of this was [[Bushi (wrestler)|Bushi]] winning the [[CMLL World Welterweight Championship]] in a one-fall match on a [[New Japan Pro-Wrestling]] show.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.njpw.co.jp/match/detail_result.php?e=1072 |title=Road to Tokyo Dome |access-date=December 19, 2015 |work=[[New Japan Pro-Wrestling]] |language=ja |archive-date=December 19, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151219222634/http://www.njpw.co.jp/match/detail_result.php?e=1072 |url-status=dead }}</ref>}}

==Reigns==
{{main|List of Mexican National Trios Champions}}
The current champions are ''Los Viajeros Del Espacios'' ([[Futuro (wrestler)|Futuro]], [[Hombre Bala Jr.]] and [[Max Star]]), who are in their first reign as a team and individually. They defeated ''Los Indestructibles'' (Apolcalipsis, Cholo and Disturbio) at ''CMLL Martes De Arena Mexico'' on July 9, 2024 in [[Mexico City, Mexico]]; they are the 46th overall champions. ''Los Reyes de la Atlantida'' hold the record for most reigns as a team, with three, while Atlantis, Delta and [[Volador Jr.]] have all held the championship on four separate occasions. Blue Panther, Fuerza Guerrera and El Signo is the team with the longest reign of 1,728 days while ''Los Payasos'' and the trio of Dos Caras, Villano III and Villano IV both held the title for only 26 days, which is the shortest time of any championship team.

Several championship teams have lost the championship in their first defense, while the teams of [[Sagrado (wrestler)|Sagrado]], [[Andrade El Idolo|La Sombra]], [[Volador Jr.]], and [[El Felino]], Safari, Volador Jr. both are credited with six successful title defenses before losing the championship, the most of any of the 39 championship teams.<ref name=MexTriosCage/> In 1991 the Commission allowed El Ninja to replace the injured Leono during a championship defense, helping ''Los Thundercats'' retain the title against the team of Rocky Santana, El Gallego and Romano Garcia.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.cagematch.net//?id=1&nr=120262 | title=Wrestling In Monterrey | date=March 15, 1991 | access-date=June 8, 2017 | work=CageMatch}}</ref>

==Tournaments==

===1985===
Records from 1985 are not clear on which trios teams participated in the tournament to determine the first ever Mexican National Trios Championship, only a few matches were clearly identified as part of the tournament, the earliest of which was a January 25, 1985 match in [[Arena Coliseo]] that saw ''Los Infernales'' (MS-1, Pirata Morgan, Satánico) defeat El Enfermero Jr., Herodes and [[Jerry Estrada]] to advance in the tournament. Records also indicate that trios consisting of Popitekus, Panico and Zorro de Oro; Talisman, [[La Fiera]], and [[Mocho Cota]]; [[Atlantis (wrestler)|Atlantis]], Stuka and Acertijo; [[Chamaco Valaguez]], Impacto and [[Águila Solitaria]] were in the tournament, but were all eliminated before the finals. On February 10, 1985 ''Los Infernales'' defeated ''Los Brazos'' to win the championship.<ref name=MexTriosBook/><ref name=MexTriosWeb/>

===2003===

After Nicho el Millonario did not show up for a scheduled title match CMLL decided to vacate the championship and left it vacant for approximately five months. In late November 2003, CMLL held an eight-team, three-week tournament to crown new champions. Most of the teams in the tournament had not teamed up on a regular basis prior to the show, except for ''Los Nuevo Infernales''. In the end, the team of El Felino, Safari and Volador Jr., who was paired up for the tournament, defeated [[Alan Stone (wrestler)|Alan Stone]], [[Super Crazy]], and [[Zumbido]] to win the titles.<ref name=Reign23>{{cite web | url=https://www.cagematch.net//?id=2&nr=2888&name=Volador+Jr. | title=05.12.2003 - 253.03.2005 :Felino, Safari & Volador Jr. | access-date=June 8, 2017 | work=CageMatch}}</ref>

===2010===
Much like the previous year, one-third of the reigning Mexican National Trios Champions was unable to further help defend the title. This year, CMLL resolved the situation differently, but still managed to organize in a tournament. The champions, Mascara Dorada, Stuka Jr., and Metro, successfully defended their championship on November 15, 2010, in Arena Puebla. Dorada suffered an ankle injury during the course of the match. Citing both the injury (which would keep him out a month) and, more so, the demands of his other three championships, Mascara Dorada vacated his share of the titles three days later.<ref name="MascaraDoradarenuncia"/> CMLL broke with the precedent of forcing the entire team to vacate the titles and instead declared a web poll would determine a replacement for Mascara Dorada. Voting was held for over two weeks on CMLL.com.

*Delta - 41.52%
*Ángel de Oro - 39.20%
*Diamante - 19.28%

CMLL appeared to waver about the winner becoming the champion or just joining Stuka and Metro for a title match. CMLL's website indicated Delta won the championship,<ref name="cmll.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.cmll.com/noticias.htm#delta |title=¡Nuevos campeones nacionales de tercias!
