WWA World Lightweight Championship

The WWA World Lightweight Championship (Campeonato Mundial de peso Ligero WWA in Spanish) is an inactive professional wrestling championship promoted by the Mexican wrestling promotion World Wrestling Association (WWA) from 1987 until 1995. The official definition of the Welterweight weight class in Mexico is between 63 kg (139 lb) and 70 kg (150 lb), but the weight limits are not always strictly adhered to.^[a][1] It was first won by Mano Negra in 1987 and defended throughout Mexico until 1995 when the title was first declared vacant and then later on inactive.

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.^[b] 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,^[c] or real life issues such as a champion suffering an injury being unable to defend the championship,^[d] or leaving the company.^[e]
