The Crash Heavyweight Championship (Spanish: Campeonato de Peso Completo de The Crash) is a professional wrestling championship used in the Mexican lucha libre promotion The Crash Lucha Libre based in Tijuana, Baja California. It is the top male championship of the promotion, with both The Crash Cruiserweight Championship and The Crash Junior Championship considered secondary. Rey Mysterio defeated Penta el 0M, La Máscara and Rush in four-way match to become the inaugural champion at The Crash VII Aniversario on November 4, 2017. The current champion is DMT Azul. He defeated Blue Demon Jr., Matt Taven, and EC3 in a Four way match on May 5, 2023.

Inaugural Champions Rey Mysterio

The championship is designated as a heavyweight title, which means that the championship can officially be competed for only by wrestlers weighing 105 kg (231 lb) and above, while in reality it has no lower weight limit.[7] As it was a professional wrestling championship, the championship was not won not by actual competition, but by a scripted ending to a match determined by the bookers and match makers.[a] On occasion the promotion declares a championship vacant, which means there is no champion at that point in time. This can either be due to a storyline,[b] or real life issues such as a champion suffering an injury being unable to defend the championship,[c] or leaving the company.[d]
