History

The title was established in 2007 via a single elimination tournament billed as the "Torneo Campeón de Campeones,” or Champion of Champions Tournament, which effectively unified the International Wrestling Council (IWC) World Heavyweight Championship, the Grand Prix Championship Wrestling (GPCW) SUPER-X Monster Championship, the Mexican National Heavyweight Championship, and the Universal Wrestling Association (UWA) World Light Heavyweight Championship. The tournament field included the four reigning champions of the aforementioned titles as well as the four number one contenders to each respective championship. "El Mesias" Ricky Banderas, who entered the tournament as the IWC World Heavyweight Champion, became the inaugural AAA World Heavyweight Champion upon defeating the UWA World Light Heavyweight Champion entrant Chessman in the finals.[1]
