The AAA Mega Championship was defended on a WWE broadcast
last night for the first time ever.
The match on Raw featured champion Dominik Mysterio taking
on the Original El Grande Americano, a match which Mysterio
won to retain the gold.
The title was created in 2007, with the inaugural winner, El
Mesias, winning an eight-man single-elimination tournament
which unified the IWC World Heavyweight championship, Grand
Prix Championship Wrestling SUPER-X Monster championship,
Mexican National Heavyweight championship, and UWA World
Light Heavyweight Championship.
There have been only 14 champions who held the title since
2007 and 23 reigns in total, with El Texano Jr holding it
the most with 1,073 days across two reigns. El Hijo del
Vikingo came close with 937 days and two reigns as well.
Dominik Mysterio is currently at 242 days and counting,
winning it from Vikingo on September 12 last year at Worlds
Collide: Las Vegas.
WWE announced the purchase of AAA during WrestleMania 41
weekend in Las Vegas last year. The Undertaker is now in
charge of the promotion.
