The NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship (Campeonato Mundial Historico de Peso Welter de la NWA in Spanish)[3] is a professional wrestling championship governed by Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). CMLL had held the NWA World Welterweight Championship for over 53 years even after leaving the NWA in 1989.[4] In 2010 the National Wrestling Alliance, represented by Blue Demon Jr., the president of NWA Mexico, sent letters to CMLL telling them to stop promoting NWA-branded championships since CMLL was not part of the NWA any more.[5] NWA Mexico had previously tried to reclaim the three NWA-branded championships promoted by CMLL,[Note 1] but CMLL had not responded to those requests. The promotion did not directly respond to the latest claim, either; the NWA Welterweight Champion, Mephisto, commented instead, simply stating that the championships belonged to CMLL.[6] Finally, on August 12, 2010, CMLL debuted the new NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship belt and named Mephisto, the final CMLL-recognized NWA World Welterweight Champion, as the inaugural champion.[3] The championship was initially announced as the CMLL Historic Welterweight Championship,[2] but when the belt was unveiled, it was called the NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship.

As a professional wrestling championship, it is not won legitimately; it is instead won via a predefined outcome of matches.[7] The official definition of the welterweight weight class in Mexico is between 70 kg (150 lb) and 78 kg (172 lb),[8] but the weight limits for the various divisions are not always strictly enforced. In the case of the NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship, the first champion, Mephisto, was awarded the championship despite weighing 90 kg (200 lb).[8][9] Volador Jr. is the current NWA World Historic Welterweight Champion, having defeated La Sombra on August 1, 2014.[1] This is Volador Jr.'s second run with the title; he is the seventh overall champion, and his current reign is the longest of any champion at Script error: The function "age_generic" does not exist. days and counting. All title matches take place under best two-out-of-three falls rules when they take place in Mexico,[10] but the title has been defended under single fall rules in Japan.[11][12]
