UWA World Trios Championship

Lore & Background

After the UWA's closing, the title was inactive for many years before being recycled as trios belts for the Toryumon Japan promotion. The titles fell into disrepair due to Último Dragón leaving Toryumon and taking the name with him, causing the then-Toryumon workers to create Dragon Gate, where they created new belts. After leaving Toryumon Japan, the titles ended up in the hands of its descendant promotion El Dorado and the Mexico based Toryumon Gym. Neither group promoted shows regularly, producing two unsuccessful attempts to relaunch the championship. In 2007, El Dorado revived the title again. In 2008 El Dorado Wrestling folded and the title moved to DDT Pro-Wrestling, where it was active until 2012. On August 30, 2015, it was announced that the title would be revived by the Wrestle-1 promotion on October 9. The title has since moved to Big Japan Pro Wrestling and DDT's Pro-Wrestling Basara sub-group.

In Their Own Story

The arena lights dimmed over the Tokyo Dome, casting long shadows on the canvas where three men stood ready. The air smelled of sweat and anticipation as the crowd roared for the UWA World Trios Championship match. It was not just about winning; it was a clash of philosophies, with the high-flying agility of Mexico meeting the grounded power of Japan. As the referee raised the belts, the history books were being written in real-time.

Reader's Guide

As it is a professional wrestling championship, the championship is not won by actual competition, but by a scripted ending to a match determined by the bookers and match makers. 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, or real life issues such as a champion suffering an injury being unable to defend the championship, or leaving the company.
