In-game article clicks load inline without leaving the challenge.
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) sister promotion of the U.S. based WWE. The current champion is Dominik Mysterio, who is in his first reign. He won the title by defeating El Hijo del Vikingo at Worlds Collide: Las Vegas on September 12, 2025.
History
The title was introduced 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 inaugural AAA Mega Champion upon defeating UWA World Light Heavyweight Champion Chessman in the final.

In 2011, AAA Mega Champion and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) founder Jeff Jarrett appeared with a redesigned version of the title belt in TNA. Due to Spike TV—TNA's broadcaster—not allowing TNA to refer to AAA by name, a silver hexagonal plate was used to cover the AAA faceplate. 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 World Wrestling League (WWL) in Puerto Rico. In March 2015, AAA Mega Champion El Patrón Alberto defended the championship in Lucha Underground via AAA's joint ownership of Lucha Underground.
On the May 11, 2026, episode of Raw, the AAA Mega Championship was defended in WWE for the first time as Dominik Mysterio successfully retained the title against "The Original" El Grande Americano.
