AAA Mega Championship

Template:Short description Template:Use mdy dates Template:Infobox pro wrestling championship The AAA Mega Championship (often referred to as the AAA World Heavyweight Championship in English and known as the Mega Campeonato AAA in Spanish) is a men's professional wrestling world heavyweight championship promoted by Mexican promotion Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA). The current champion is El Hijo del Vikingo, who is in his second reign since defeating Alberto El Patrón at Alianzas in Mexico City on May 31, 2025.

The title was revealed in 2007 via a single elimination tournament billed as the Torneo Campeón De Campeones (Champion of Champions Tournament), which effectively unified the IWC World Heavyweight Championship, Grand Prix Championship Wrestling (GPCW) SUPER-X Monster Championship, Mexican National Heavyweight Championship, and UWA World Light Heavyweight Championship. 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.

Two-time and current champion El Hijo del Vikingo

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. While Jarrett appeared in TNA, the title was referred to as the "Mexican Heavyweight Championship". On April 21, 2013, the title was defended outside AAA for the first time at Puerto Rico's World Wrestling League (WWL). 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.

The title is currently held by El Hijo del Vikingo, who is in his second reign. He defeated Alberto El Patrón at Alianzas on May 31, 2025, in Mexico City to win the title.
