The AAA Reina de Reinas Championship (literally "AAA Queen of Queens Championship", "AAA Women's Championship") is a singles women's professional wrestling championship promoted by Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA). It is the only women's championship in AAA.
From its creation in 1999 to 2009, the title was put on the line every year during the eponymous "Reina de Reinas" tournament, in addition to traditional defenses. The tournament eventually returned in 2012, with Sexy Star becoming the first wrestler to successfully retain the title at the event. [3] [4] [5] [6]
The inaugural champion was Xóchitl Hamada, who was crowned after winning the original Reina de Reinas tournament in 1999. [1] Faby Apache and Taya hold the record for most reigns with four, while they along with Tiffany and Sexy Star have the record for most Reina de Reinas tournaments won, with three. The record for longest reign is held by Taya, whose first reign lasted 945 days, with the record for shortest held by Ayako Hamada (Xóchitl's sister) at 33 days. Although the title is supposedly for women only, Pimpinela Escarlata, a luchador Exótico , won it in 2011.
On February 19, 1999, Xóchitl Hamada became the inaugural champion after defeating Esther Moreno, Miss Janeth and Rossy Moreno in a four-way match. [1] On February 20, 2000, the championship was vacated after the previous titleholder Esther Moreno suffered an injury. Moreno won the vacant championship on the same date by defeating Hamada, Janeth and Martha Villalobos in a four-way match. [7] [8] On July 31, 2011, at Verano de Escándalo, Pimpinela Escarlata became the first man to hold the title in the championship's history, which was legitimized as Escarlata being a Exótico . [9] On February 19, 2013, the championship was vacated as the previous champion Sexy Star vacated the tile due to her pregnancy. [10] On March 17, at Rey de Reyes, Faby Apache won the vacant title by defeating LuFisto, Mari Apache and Taya in a four-way elimination match. [11]
On July 1, 2017, the director of talent Vampiro stripped Taya from the title, who was in her second reign. In kayfabe, Vampiro explained due to Taya using an illegal chokehold on Ayako Hamada, which Taya defeated to win the title on April 21, the championship was vacated, despite the match being a no disqualification match. [12] However, the real reason for the vacancy is still in question, as it was reported that AAA requested from Taya's fiancé Johnny Mundo to turn the title for photoshoot, which was later declared vacated. [13] This led to Taya publicly quitting the company. [14] On July 16, Star won the vacant title after defeating Big Mami, Faby Apache, Goya Kong, La Hiedra and Lady Shani in a six-way match. [15]
On August 26, at Triplemanía XXV, Star successfully defended her title against Hamada, Rosemary and Shani in a four-way. During the match, Star legitimately injured Rosemary after applying an armbar. On September 4, due to violation of the promotion's rules, Star's victory in the championship match was overturned as a result of the incident, leading to the title being vacated. [16] On October 1, at Héroes Inmortales XI, Shani defeated Hamada to win the vacant championship. [17] On August 3, 2019, the title was vacated once again after the last champion Keyra suffered an injury.[ citation needed ] On August 3, at Triplemanía XXVII, Tessa Blanchard won the vacant championship after winning a seven-woman Tables, ladders, and chairs match. [18]
On September 15, 2019, Taya Valkyrie, previously known simply as Taya who made her return to the company on 2018,[ citation needed ], defeated Blanchard to win the title for the third time, during the Lucha Invades NY event. [19] On February 24, 2021, the title was vacated for the fifth time after Valkyrie signed with WWE.[ citation needed ] On May 1, at Rey de Reyes, Faby Apache won the vacated championship. [20] On December 4, at Triplemanía Regia II, Valkyrie made her return to the company. [21] On April 23, 2022, at Impact Wrestling's Rebellion, Valkyrie defeated Deonna Purrazzo to win the title for the fourth time in her career. [22]
As of October18, 2024, there have been 31 reigns between 18 champions and five vacancies. Xóchitl Hamada was the inaugural champion.
