History[]
After CMLL left the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) in the late 1980's, the company would hold on to the NWA World Welterweight Championship. However, in 2010, the NWA requested that CMLL stop promoting NWA championships. As a result, CMLL announced a replacement for the NWA World Welterweight Championship, dubbing it the CMLL Historic Welterweight Championship. However after unveiling the new title on August 12, 2010, the championship was referred to as the NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship. Mephisto became the inaugural champion after he was awarded the title by CMLL due to him being the last NWA World Welterweight Champion CMLL had recognised.
