When Juventud also left AAA the Comisión de Box y Lucha Libre decided that the titles belonged to Los Guerreras and nullified the reign of Juventud Guerrera and Psicosis.

AAA Would not fill the vacancy until May 1997

Championship rules

The title is a "National" title which means that non-Mexican citizens are prohibited from challenging or holding the championship. As the championship is a Heavyweight it is supposed to be for wrestlers 97 kg (213.8 lb) or over.

The title is generally not allowed to be defended in any other type of match than a regular match, as is the case for all the Mexican National titles. The commission has been inconsistent on enforcing the rules, in one case they stripped Psicosis (the AAA version) of the Mexican National Middleweight Championship
