Current Champion

La Parka Jr., 13th Champion

There is no current champion. La Parka Jr. was the last champion. He last defended in 2003. The championship was not seen after AAA stopped using the Mexican national championships in 2008. La Parka passed away in 2020. No one has made a claim on the belt since. The championship is unlikely to be revived by CMLL due to lack of previously history in the promotion.

History of Championship

This championship was created in 1983 for the nascent SuperLibres promotion, who would later go on to create the AWWA championships. Most national title tournaments at this time included wrestlers from various promotions but this tournament only included SuperLibres affiliated wrestlers (many of whom were ex-EMLL luchadors.) The championship had no strong history once the SuperLibres promotion was no longer viable and floated around Mexico until it was eventually forgotten.

The "cruiserweight" name is an apparent response to the UWA World Junior Light Heavyweight Championship; the Mexico City lucha libre commission publically considered no longer recognizing that belt because the 'Junior Light Heavyweight' was not among its established divisions. Instead, the commission ended up creating the Cruiseweight title as the Junior Light Heavyweight equivalent.
