AAA Mega Championship defended on WWE show for the first time ever

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.
