Current Champion

Máscara Dorada won the championship on December 15th, 2023 from Rocky Romero in Arena Mexico. He is the 11th championship in the 'Historic' era of this championship, and the 68th overall.

History of Championship

On August 12, 2010, CMLL announced a change with the NWA group of championships. The current physical title belts were all retired, replaced by newly belts with a different design. The old belts are now part of CMLL's mobile museum, though copies of them have turned up elsewhere.

CMLL referred to the new championships as the CMLL Historic Championships and said the former NWA champions would be the first champions of the new belts. Outside not getting the physical belt back, that appeared to satisfy the NWA's complaints about using their trademarks. However, within weeks of that press conference, CMLL had changed course. The championships were called NWA World Historic Championships. It's even been casually referred to by it's old name by the promotion, but is now considered a separate championship with NWA Mexico reviving the original named championship.

The name further changed to only "World Historic Welterweight Championship" in early 2022; company officials just stopped using the NWA name with no explanation. The championship lineage itself did not change. (We're leaving the name of the page as is for the time being.)

Mephisto made a few defenses of his championship over his 20 month reign. He feuded with Hijo del Fantasma during the late stages, retaining his championship via an illicit brass knuckles punch. The two were expected to rematch down the line. Meanwhile, Mephisto, Averno and Ephesto challenged Generacion Dorada for their CMLL World Trios Championship in early March of 2011. The champions retained, Mephisto taking the final fall to the previous champion Sombra. Sombra immediately challenged for a singles title match, and Mephisto agreed the following week. The two had a reported thirty-minute match, with Sombra regaining the championship.
